Slither Into Style with the Must Have "Year of the Snake" Jordans Dropping in 2025

As 2025 creeps closer, so does Jordan Brand’s Lunar New Year celebration, and it’s looking good! Think snakeskin textures, intricate stitching, and iridescent logos that’ll have your kicks stealing the spotlight. To mark the occasion, we at The Sole Supplier have rounded up the freshest, flyest Jordan releases to honour the Chinese New Year. Get ready to flex; these drops are too good to miss!

We start off this list with the Nike Dunk Low “Year of the Snake”, that draws inspiration from the Chinese zodiac, showcasing a refined blend of olive green, light bone, white, brown, and emerald green tones. Its upper features a striking textured serpentine pattern, while the tongue is accented with a red and black snakeskin tag for added flair. The signature Swooshes are enhanced with red decorative stitching, providing a bold contrast to the shoe’s subdued colour palette.

The Air Jordan 5 “Year of the Snake” will feature an off white nubuck upper, complemented by tonal cream overlays, creating a clean, polished look. A striking black snakeskin hangtag adds a nice contrast, enhancing its refined appeal. Iridescent shark teeth along the midsole introduce a dynamic element, catching vibrant flashes of colour with every step, while a semi translucent clear rubber outsole completes the look with a luxurious finish. Though the initial preview offers just one angle, key details like the iridescent accents and premium materials set this women’s exclusive sneaker apart as a true showstopper.

A first glimpse of the Air Jordan 11 Low CNY "Year of the Snake" has surfaced and been confirmed. This iteration adheres to the official colour palette of Black, Summit White, and Football Grey, although its connection to the Lunar New Year is subtle. The standout feature is the snakeskin overlays, hinted at in early leaks. Specific design details remain under wraps. Could we get another sneaker with iridescent details? Possibly! What’s certain is that the design will pay homage to the zodiac's slithering symbol. For now, circulating images are purely speculative, based on the limited information currently available.

The best has been saved for last! The Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Year of the Snake" is set to become the undeniable showstopper of this collection. This highly anticipated release celebrates the symbolism of shedding snakeskin. The design features a ripstop material on the Swoosh, mimicking the textured appearance of a shed snakeskin. On top of that, photon dust leather overlays enhance the mudguard, eye stays, and heel tab, giving it more depth and contrast. Completing the theme, an iridescent Jordan Wings logo on the heel reflects the gleam of a snake’s eye, tying together a very clean looking colourway.

And there you have it; our top picks from the Jordan Year of the Snake collection. These highly anticipated sneakers are expected to launch via the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers.
