Every year, Nike releases a special Air Force 1 shoe for Lunar New Year. This year’s shoe, according to GQ, is different from past releases.
Instead of an all-leather shoe, Nike has opted to use silk for parts of the construction. The cream-colored AF1 will also feature an embroidered dragon design in honor of the Year of the Dragon.
According to Complex, Nike will release the shoe on Feb. 14 on SNKRS in China for a retail price of 2599 rmb (roughly $365).
