Continuing the release of Nike's zodiac-celebrating sneakers, the Jordan brand has finally released images of its Chinese New Year pack.
Following the Quickstrike Air Force 1s and the Air Force 1 Zhijun Wang Customs -- both of which were produced to honor the Chinese Lunar New Year -- the iconic sportswear brand is now releasing a Jordan counterpart. This celebratory collection will introduce brand new colorways for the Air Jordan 5 Low, as well as the Jordan Super.Fly 4. These newly revamped sneakers feature unique materials and vibrant graphics, which pay homage to the Chinese narrative. Consumers will be excited to see "painted mural-esque" visuals on the heel and the tongue set against a black leather upper that's complemented by bright red accents. Pink accents also complete the same festive paneling.
Just ahead of the holiday, the Jordan Chinese New Year Pack will be released on January 23rd, 2016.
