Nike Air Max 1 Year of the Ox…Happy Chinese New Year!

With Chinese New Year almost here (Don’t forget to get your red bags!), Nike releases yet a few more shoes to commemorate the Lunar New Year, as they’ve been doing so far every Chinese New Year for the past several years, but mostly with the Air Force 1.

Nike seems to cater to every culture: From series titled “Tuskegee Airmen” to “Dia De Los Muertos” to “Filipino Heritage”, Nike knows how to connect with every sneakerhead (Mostly from the pocket it seems). Anyway, without further adieu…

First up, the Year of the Ox Pack features two of Nike’s classics, the Blazer Mid and the Air Max 1.  Both feature a special heel with 3D rays centered around a golden ox, where the “Nike” swoosh would usually be.

This Air Force 1 was created in collaboration with Hong Kong-based CLOT (owned by ex-actor and “I got stuff on my computer” Edison Chen), and released last week in limited quantities in Hong Kong.  The red color signifies the themes of luck, happiness and prosperity.
