The latest addition to Nike’s Chinese New Year celebrates the “Year of the Dragon” and Valentine’s Day, which happen to coincide in 2024. This special iteration of the Nike Air Force 1 Low is given a premium look and feel, and does so by not cutting any corners. To start off, the sneaker’s upper features an elegant Gold silk base that is covered with refined floral patterns that also takes care of the Swoosh logos on the side panels. A closer look unveils a dragon on the left sneaker, while the right features a phoenix, which symbolizes harmony. The same grceful silk pattern extends to the midsole, thus making the sneakers even more unique in design. Custom branding on the tongue tags and lower portion of the heel are also in play. The special edition features the “喜喜” (Xixi) emblem, symbolizing “Double Happiness,” to honor this dual celebration. The upper also appears to have some added Gold hardware on the lace dubraes as well as on the toe box region. Leather lining, White laces with Gold tips and a Tan outsole complete the look.
