Nike x Clot collaborations started back in 2006. Clot, a streetwear brand based in Hong Kong, has enjoyed a longstanding and successful partnership in the world of fashion and footwear. Founded in 2003 by Edison Chen and Kevin Poon, Clot has gained recognition for its unique fusion of Eastern and Western design elements, drawing inspiration from Chinese heritage and contemporary urban culture.

After nearly two decades of partnership, Nike x Clot's partnership is rumored to be ending soon, as reported by HypeBeast. The news came as a surprise to many, as the two brands have had a very successful partnership, releasing multiple successful collaborations like the futuristic Dunk High silhouette.

Nike x Clot collaborations have showcased Clot's creativity and Nike's innovative technology, resulting in limited edition releases that have captured the attention of sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. From the iconic Nike Air Max 1 "Kiss of Death" to the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Fearless" and more recent projects like the Nike Cortez Pack, Clot's collaborations with the sneaker brand have consistently pushed boundaries.
