The Air Force 1 Low "Year Of The Dragon" Celebrates Lunar New Year

As the Lunar New Year approaches, Nike is all set to celebrate the Year of the Dragon with a dazzling twist on the iconic Air Force 1 Low. While several Lunar New Year-themed Air Force 1s have already been revealed, this "Year Of The Dragon" edition takes things to a new level with an abundance of iridescence.

The foundation of this Air Force 1 remains the classic white leather upper, ensuring a clean and timeless base for the design. However, the intricate details and shimmering elements set this pair apart.

One of this release's most striking features is replacing the traditional lateral Swoosh with bold and bulbous iridescent lenticular Checks. This eye-catching design element adds a dynamic and ever-changing visual effect to the shoe. On the medial side, the simplicity of white leather remains, creating a harmonious balance between boldness and subtlety.

The tongue tags have been transformed into metallic badges that pay homage to the mighty Dragon, a symbol of strength and power in Chinese culture. Moving to the heel overlays, you'll find a delightful combination of reptilian-textured suede and iridescent underlays that honor the mythical nature of the beast.

Beneath it all, a unique pink-and-cream jelly sole unit adds a pop of color and delivers comfort and style in equal measure. The insoles proudly display an official stamp for the Year Of The Dragon, making this pair an authentic tribute to the Lunar New Year festivities.

But there's one more surprise in store for those who choose to embrace the Dragon's spirit. The addition of an iridescent carabiner, shaped like a Dragon, serves as both a stylish accessory and a symbol of the mythical creature's enduring influence.
