Nike's KD 4 Sneaker Gets a Year of the Dragon Colorway

— January 24, 2024 — Fashion
Nike continues to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year with a Year of the Dragon colorway palette detailing the sporty KD 4 sneaker model. The shoes are made with festive tones but the design continues with the addition of two accessories -- a dustbag and a themed charm.

All of these are packaged inside a special shoe box that also meets the occasion. The shoe's colorway is highlighted by the dragon emblem that wraps around the heel and the Swoosh motif along the medial side of the sneaker. It is defined by a blend of Khaki, Sesame, Cacao Wow, Noble Red, and Gum Yellow throughout the palette. Rounding out the shoe are the waved accents along the velcro strap and tongue area.
