Following the PARABOLA’s wear test sample launch in spring 2024, CLOT welcomes the iconic lifestyle shoe in the official colorways of Black and Beige.

Designed under the personal direction of CLOT Founder and Creative Director Edison Chen, the PARABOLA embodies CLOT’s dedication to celebrating culture, mastering craftsmanship, and championing innovation in simple yet versatile designs for everyday wear.

To create the PARABOLA, Edison looked to the past, seeking inspiration from martial arts star Bruce Lee's reverence toward traditional Chinese wisdom. Named for the parabola curve, a symbol of symmetry, the shoe draws from CLOT’s signature motifs of Yin-Yang and Chi, Chinese philosophies that honor energy flow, harmony, balance.

“The PARABOLA is about changes, cycles, nature,” revealed Edison in an exclusive interview. “In everyone’s life, you go through dips and curves. This shoe is a testament to the journey.”

Edison envisions the PARABOLA as a lifestyle sneaker, a classic shoe that pairs seamlessly with any outfit for any occasion. Defined by evenly spaced flowing lines, the shoe is sleek and minimalist, made to harmonize with the attire and attitude of its wearer.

“This is not a performance sneaker. It’s an everyday lifestyle sneaker you can wear to the park, a date, a business meeting. It’s like a blank canvas for an artist."

As a paean to timeless aesthetics, the PARABOLA surreptitiously features CLOT’s “C” logo on the outsole and the insole, avoiding the flashy trend of prominent logo exposure. Half of the CLOT logo is marked on the outsole of each sneaker, so that the full pair evokes a sense of symmetry. 

The PARABOLA’s understated outlook belies the incredible attention to detail in its composition, created with CLOT’s panache for cutting-edge technology. Each panel is tested and examined down to the millimeter. The PARABOLA’s midsole has been specially engineered for CLOT, with a supported collar offering strong foundation and comfortable wear. 

Keeping with the theme of enduring cyclicality, the PARABOLA is constructed with sustainability in mind. In lieu of breather holes, the shoe features a biodegradable footbed that allows for maximum breathability.  Even the shoebox, an ode to the analog lifestyle, is thoughtfully designed as a chic storage box, stylistically reminiscent of retro file cabinets in libraries and offices. 

Marking the shoe’s evolution as a journey of creative exchange and growth, the current PARABOLA has been updated based on feedback from the wear test samples launched earlier this season. Finishing details are refined, including the addition of leather laces made from the same material as the sneaker itself.

Edison takes pride in the subtlety of the PARABOLA’s high quality. “We’re in this new chapter of CLOT where we’re trying to pay extra attention but not scream it out loud. Hopefully, our consumers, who have been with us all along, can see and appreciate it.”

Indeed, the PARABOLA may just tease the direction for CLOT’s future—in which its products complement the pulse and dynamism of real life. More than just a streetwear company, Edison views CLOT as slowly growing into a lifestyle company.

“Even though streetwear is in our roots, we don’t like being called a fashion company. We’re way more than that, and we’re trying to prove that through our creations.”
