The Year of the Pig is getting fatter — with sneakers that is.
After the official unveiling of their Chinese New Year Collection, Nike is also beginning to drop official product shots of the impending releases. After a handful of detailed at releases like the Flightposite, Air Max 98 and Air Jodan 12, the Nike Kyrie 5 “CNY” is next in line to be flexed — officially.
Kyrie 5th features a geometric, 3-D quilted Bai Jia Yi pattern on the shoe’s heel panel, with a matching vibrant Flytrap-inspired overlay. The color palette is continued on the outsole’s traction pattern, and it’s completed with purple hits on the midsole and tongue branding.__
—— These are my personal favorite pair from the collection.
The Nike Kyrie 5 “Chinese New Year” has just been confirmed for release on February 5th, 2019. At this stage, pairs will be hitting Nike.com with a list of supporting retailers to follow over the next few days.
