Adidas Originals - Adidas Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT SS26 (China Exclusive) Dark Gray

Adidas Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT SS26 Dark Grey (KR0295) — The jacket that went viral on TikTok

The Adidas Originals Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT SS26 Dark Grey (KR0295) is the jacket that broke the internet: a TikTok video titled “POV: your dad returns from China” featuring this model gathered over 2.6 million views, and CNN Style made it a cover story in February 2026 as a symbol of the global “New Chinese Style” trend. The Dark Grey colorway — called charcoal grey by adidas Spain — is the most photographed and sells out within days on adidas.es. CTT stands for Chinese Track Top, the new Chinese-style jacket designed by the adidas team in Shanghai and presented at Shanghai Fashion Week SS26.

Design and features

The DNA of the CTT 3.1 SOFT lies in the tangzhuang (唐装), the traditional Chinese jacket descended from the Qing dynasty magua, reinterpreted with adidas’s iconic three stripes and a front zipper closure. The dark grey of the Dark Grey has a sober and timeless presence that works equally well with jeans or sweatpants. The upright mandarin collar and details inspired by pankou (盘扣) buttons are the cultural nods that make this jacket more than just sportswear.

Materials and construction

• Soft-touch satin polyester fabric (CTT 3.1 SOFT line) — lightweight, fluid drape, and silky feel on the outside.
• Asian size UNITEFIT unisex cut — it is recommended to go up one or two sizes from your usual European size for a comfortable fit (size M roughly equals European L/XL).
• Straight mandarin collar, full front zipper closure, and decorative details inspired by traditional pankou buttons; adidas three stripes on the sleeve.
