Wishing a joyful Chinese New Year to all those celebrating with the Nike Air Force 1 Low!
Feb
Nike’s annual celebration of Chinese New Year consistently brings forth a vibrant collection of footwear designs, spanning across various Nike Sportswear and Basketball icons to cater to diverse tastes. However, this customary event is never complete without a special edition Air Force 1, and the 2024 rendition lives up to expectations.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Chinese New Year” is set to release in China on February 14th, with a retail price of $365 USD. While the price tag may seem steep, the intricate detailing and effort invested in the design not only justify the cost but also suggest it’s relatively reasonable.
First-look images, shared by prominent individuals in the Chinese sneaker community, showcase the ’82 silhouette adorned in luxurious gold fabrics, adorned with graceful metallic elements, and intricately embroidered with Year of the Dragon motifs. This detailed treatment extends to the midsole, featuring a 360-degree pattern above a classic cream-colored rubber outsole. The design incorporates significant Chinese characters throughout, appropriately marking the sneaker for the festive occasion.
The design aims to highlight the simultaneous celebration of Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year in China. The traditional pattern symbolizes the “dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness,” with additional elements such as peonies, goldfish, mandarin ducks, bats, and other symbols associated with good fortune in love.
Given the thematic connection to Chinese traditions, the Air Force 1 Low “Chinese New Year” is likely to remain exclusive to China. Explore the detailed images below, and we offer affordable replica versions for the outside of the region at a price of $145. You can view the products here:
