To commemorate the Year of the Pig, the last animal sign representing 2019 on the Chinese Zodiac, Nike is releasing a limited-edition Chinese New Year collection that unifies patterns symbolic of all 12 signs los classic Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse silhouettes, joining them together in a form of traditional Chinese patchwork called Bai Jia Yi.
Two styles of graphics are used to represent this throughout the collection: The first is a traditional geometric quilt pattern that is influenced by all 12 Chinese Zodiac symbols; the second is a mosaic pattern of the 12 symbols.
One shoe in the collection that represents the Chinese Zodiac’s many symbolic touch points is the nike date wmns air max 90 qs valentine day white university red tulip pink white CNY. It features up to six material styles that blend a “What The” configuration with the collection’s traditional Bai Jia Yi quilted pattern. Each material style draws from features of the last 12 years of nike date CNY footwear.
Three examples:
1. The patent leather on the heel of the 2009 Russ nike date Zoom Hyperfuse PEs 1 “Year of the Ox” appears on the tongue of this year’s version.
2. The faux-snakeskin material on the 2013 nike date Court Royale 2 Womens Shoe White “Year of the Snake” is applied to different components of the new upper.
3. Colors such as crimson, metallic gold and Amarillo yellow form the collection’s palette in a color scheme inspired by the regalia of traditional Chinese Emperorship.
The nike date SB◆SB ZOOM BLAZER LOW PRO GT ISO dh5675-100 28cm WHT CNY features the geomatric Bai Jia Yi pattern on the shoe’s heel panel and the Flytrap-inspired overlay. The collection’s color scheme is reflected in the traction pattern.
