Adidas Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT FW24 Clay Red — The Inaugural Drop of the Year of the Snake 2025
The Adidas Originals Tang Jacket CTT 3.1 SOFT FW24 Clay Red (China Exclusive) — called burgundy by adidas Spain — is the jacket that started it all: the colorway of the original fall/winter 2024 drop, the first from the CTT 3.1 line released in the Chinese market, and the one that sparked global demand before the international press discovered the trend in February 2026. Clay Red (clay red, between burgundy and terracotta) is the color of the Year of the Snake 2025 festivities — deeper and earthier than pure red, with an elegance that makes it just as festive as wearable outside its cultural context. CTT stands for Chinese Track Top, a reinterpretation of the tangzhuang (唐装) designed by the adidas team in Shanghai.
Design and Features
The Clay Red FW24 has the most historically rich red of the entire collection: it was the first colorway, the one CNN reported on, the one featured in the most shared TikTok videos. The burgundy-clay tone — with its earthy nuances that set it apart from the pure FW25 red — makes it more versatile and easier to pair in everyday settings. The mandarin collar, adidas’s three stripes, and details inspired by traditional pankou (盘扣) buttons are design elements that connect this sports jacket to the heritage of the Qing dynasty magua.

How to Style It?
Clay Red works especially well with black pants or dark earth-tone cargo pants.
