While the start of the Lunar New Year doesn’t begin until January 29, many footwear brands are getting a head start on the activities with brand-new themed releases. Joining the list of brands is the partnership between CLOT and adidas. Previously, these two brands sent waves through the trends with their remixed iteration of the Superstar sneaker. Using the same silhouette, these brands are starting the year with a new collaborative sneaker that is the perfect shoe for the Lunar New Year. Using hints of “Year of the Snake,” both brands have added style and flair to the design many adored in the past year.

With small details and new features, CLOT and adidas have taken to their previous sneaker, the Dress Superstar, with a refined theme ready for the Lunar New Year. In this new release, the sneaker is crafted with a monochromatic black material made of leather, suede, and silky textile blend. Gold accents have been added to the co-branded tongue and along the sides with stars settled between the iconic Three Stripes. A barely-there decorative pattern can be found on the heel and sides of the sneaker. A decorative gold Chinese coin and a red tassel ornamental charm hand on each shoe’s shoelace. As with their previous design, the shoe comes with black ripped outsoles. In addition to the shoes, CLOT and adidas are releasing a matching collection to help complete your Lunar New Year look. Available at $200, the Lunar New Year sneakers can be purchased via adidas’ CONFIRMED app.

If you've ever worn heavy leather hiking boots on a trip before, you're probably familiar with the blisters, sweaty feet, and sore legs that often come with the journey. While getting out in nature was always the best part of my week, I swapped my heavy hiking boots for some lightweight trail runners last year, and it was the best decision I ever made. Here's why.
Why you should ditch your hiking boots for trail runners

Trail running shoes are a middle ground between sneakers and hiking boots. They're sturdy, but still lightweight enough to reduce strain on your legs as you hike. Most hiking boots have stiff soles, but trail runners will allow you to navigate uneven terrain easily due to the flexible soles. These are great for long-distance hikes, especially where speed and efficiency matter. I also love the fact that trail runners have quick-drying and water-resistant mesh, which allows sweat to evaporate easily for a more comfortable journey (and less stinky shoes!)
