As we approach the annual Spring celebration, the sneaker brands that celebrate Asia’s festival season will begin to pepper footsites with celebratory releases. The latest notable pair to appear amongst a sea of themed releases is this colorful adidas Ultra BOOST S&L DNA, which boasts a stand-out white-based upper in a sea of black and red options for the Lunar New Year.
Though it’s not identifiably Chinese New Year in nature, it’s colorful prints and bold red branding may well indicate its intentions to celebrate Japan’s Setsubun festival. Otherwise known as the bean-throwing festival, Setsubun literally translates to “Seasonal Division,” referring to its celebration on the final day of Winter. The impending Spring season is honored on the vibrant, Asian-influenced graphic lace cages and insoles, while national pride is flexed at the solid red strikes art the heel and tongue. Everything else arrives in a crisp white, as per the national flag, inclusive of the perforated leather toe cap, mesh uppers, and BOOST-loaded sole unit.
