Jordan 14 x Clot

Although NIKE, Inc. has previewed dozens of its solo efforts for the remainder of 2021, its kept many of its collaborations a secret. Recently, however, the Edison Chen-co-founded CLOT has announced its Air Jordan 14 Low “Terracotta.” First rumored in September 2020, the forthcoming pair serves as a follow-up to a low-top Jordan 13 from 2018, which featured elements inspired by Terracotta Warrior armor plates unearthed in 1974 with the discover of China’s first emperor’s grave. Officially, shades of “Sepia Stone” and “Desert Sand” cover the latest take on the 23-year-old design. “Terra Blush” arguably steals the spotlight as it animates midsole accents and branding on the tongue, which resembles a traditional Chinese scroll. Elsewhere, the Chinese idiom for prosperity and happiness (“如意吉祥”) is manifested through the traditional knot-and-coin hanging off the heel. The trinket not only nods to CLOT’s Chinese heritage, but delivers luck to the Jordans‘ wearers.
