Nike Air Force 1 Low "Year of the Tiger"

 

Chinese New Year is always a time that Nike (NYSE:NKE -1.20%) circles on its calendar to make sure it gives the festivities its deserved recognition. And this year, the Beaverton-based sportswear company is treating its consumers with a wide range of new footwear, one being this Nike Air Force 1 Low “Year of the Tiger” that has just been unveiled by way of official imagery.

For this new iteration, the Swoosh design teams implement a handful of striking details that are both vivid and relevant to Chinese culture. Much like Travis Scott’s first Nike Air Force 1 collaboration, the uppers of this rendition are crafted with a white canvas material, and these come overlaid with golden yellow and black tiger-striped Swooshes to echo its zodiac-inspired motif. Instead of the traditional Nike Air branding on the tongues you’ll find a unique “T” logo, and the lateral heels are embroidered with an intricate image of a tiger. The interior liners are drenched with a cherry red hue while bright orange finishes apply to the heels and the entire treading.

There’s no exact release date set in stone for these just yet, but you can likely anticipate Nike to drop these in the coming weeks ahead of Lunar New Year.
