Nike Year of the Tiger Sneakers Are White & Gold

To help ring in the upcoming Chinese new year, Nike created these Year of the Tiger sneakers. The white kicks have an all over gold tiger print, and even have some fur detailing for effect.

The Chinese new year sneakers are in a nice, subdued color with a hint of metallic gold for a bit of shine. 200 pairs will be available in a specially made, white and red shoe box with a matching tiger-print design and Chinese characters.
