Air Jordan 1 Low OG Chinese New Year

Jordan Brand’s annual Chinese New Year collection is a drop every sneakerhead looks forward to during the first quarter of the year. A solid library of past CNY make-ups means the Swoosh and Jumpman has always got eager fans awaiting, wanting to add the newly themed sneaker to their rotation. Similar to last year's offerings, the AJ1 Low remains the highlight, with lots of hype surrounding this year's Jordan 1 Low OG “Chinese New Year”.

The AJ1 is a mainstay in every Chinese New Year pack from Jordan Brand since 2020, with pairs featuring the respective year's animal according to the Zodiac. While last year's Asia-exclusive “Year of the Rabbit” colourway was limited to 5000 pairs, the Year Of The Dragon should be less of a myth thanks to it getting an EU release.

Embodying the spirit of the Dragon, this edition boasts a scaly green paneling effect that arrives complemented by a simple beige. A maroon red Swoosh matches the laces, while a gold heel tab also adds to the festive colours on the palette. Branding has also been given a themed update, with the Jumpman on the inside tongue encircled by the mythological creature, as well as a special edition hangtag which adopts a floral symbol for good fortune.

Packaged in a special edition, green Jordan 1 box which is decorated in an all-over scaly print pattern, these will certainly stand out from your pile of sneaker boxes. Inside, the wrapping paper details a traditional Chinese dragon print, along with a red pocket that holds the previously mentioned hangtag.

Dropping for £145 on the 6th of February via the Nike SNKRS app and select UK stockists, we reckon this could be the hottest AJ1 to drop in the first half of 2024. Find out how to get your hands on the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Year of the Dragon” by keeping it locked to The Sole Supplier!
