The Air Jordan 1 Low "Chinese New Year" Celebrates the Year of the Ox

Jordan Brand is certainly no stranger when it comes to Lunar New Year themed sneakers, but the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low "Chinese New Year" may just be their best one yet. Celebrating the Year of the Ox, this red pocket-themed release is a definite must-have for any collection out there.

Crafted from smooth premium leather, the "Chinese New Year" is painted in classic black and red hues and decorated with traditional Chinese cloud patterning throughout. A gold stitched winged basketball emblem adorns the heel while a "Nike Air" tag is proudly presented on the tongue.

Down below, you'll find a crisp clean Air midsole, and of course, you can't talk about this Air Jordan 1 Low without mentioning the luxe zhongguó jié knot that's directly influenced by the decorative craft that began as a form of Chinese folk art in the Tang and Song dynasty.

Not much else is known about the Nike Air Jordan 1 Low "Chinese New Year" at this moment in time, but with the Lunar New Year coming in February, it's safe to assume that these will arrive around that time. Let us know what you think of these, and while you're here, you might as well take an on-foot look at the Nike SB Dunk Low "Chinese New Year"!
