The collaboration between Clot X Nike has more than ten years of history and, to this day, products of their collaboration remain relevant to the international fashion market. CLOT is a renowned Hong Kong streetwear brand founded in 2003 by Edison Chen and Kevin Poon. In turn, Nike needs no introduction. This year, the two brands re-released the K.O.D collection (Kiss of Death) (\u6b7b\u4ea1\u4e4b\u543b), which was first released 15 years ago in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The K.O.D collection was inspired by the concept of “Qi” (\u6c14). According to Chinese philosophy, “Qi” energy flows through the human body, connecting it with the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection includes suede sneakers, accented with snakeskin and ostrich leather. In addition to aesthetics, the creators paid attention to functionality, turning to Chinese traditional medicine (TCM)<\/a>. The sole of the sneakers is made taking into account reflexotherapy, a complementary therapy in which deep massage is applied to specific reflex zones on the hands, ears, and particularly the feet. So, pressure points (which are used in acupuncture) are stimulated when wearing K.O.D sneakers, accordingly, this has a positive effect on the entire body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
