Adidas Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT FW25 Purple — The imperial color, the most exclusive of the collection
The Adidas Originals Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT FW25 Purple (China Exclusive) is the rarest and most coveted colorway of the entire CTT 3.1 line: purple was in imperial China the color reserved for nobility and royalty, forbidden to common people for centuries during the Ming and Qing dynasties. That adidas chose it for the CTT (Chinese Track Top) jacket — their reinterpretation of the tangzhuang (唐装) — is no coincidence: it is the colorway that sells out fastest, is restocked the least, and generates the most demand in the international resale market. The adidas team in Shanghai presented this piece at Shanghai Fashion Week SS26 as part of the New Chinese Aesthetic collection.
Design and features
The Purple FW25 has a shade between deep purple and mauve — rich, saturated, with enough darkness to appear sober from afar and intense up close. On the satin fabric of the SOFT line, the color gains an additional dimension thanks to the silky shine of the polyester. The upright mandarin collar, the three adidas stripes on the sleeve, and details inspired by pankou (盘扣) buttons are constants of the CTT 3.1 line.

- Soft-touch satin polyester fabric (CTT 3.1 SOFT line) — lightweight, fluid drape, and silky shine on the outside.

How to style it?
Purple works best with black pants — the light-dark contrast enhances the intensity of the purple — or with dark earth-tone cargo pants to soften the impact. White or white/black sneakers are the natural footwear for this colorway. If you want to alternate with something more neutral, the Dark Grey SS26 from the same line is the perfect complement to share the spirit of the collection without repeating the intensity of purple.
