It’s been an even dozen years since blue nike first started celebrating the Chinese New Year with special releases. 2019 is the “Year Of The Pig,” the last animal sign on the Chinese Zodiac, so blue nike is pulling out all the trunner for this year’s collection: they’re using patterns and detailing inspired by all twelve Zodiac signs, done up in a traditional Chinese patchwork style — Bai Jia Yi. The assemblage of shoes is nothing short of expansive. Each of the Swoosh Brand’s many arms is represented, with everything from modern-day models like the Kyrie 5 and aqua and orange blue nike dunks blue and yellow kobe new blue nike hyperdunk shoe laces nike roshe graphic premium shoes black gold heels and nike air force 180s pink rave shoes clearance free blue nike air max neon orange blue gray hair Jordan 12, Air Jordan 33, and Chuck 70.
The color palette consists of reds, golds, and yellows, nodding to traditional Chinese royalty. Two main graphics are present on the collection: a bright and bold patchwork-style quilt pattern that’s inspired by each Zodiac symbol, and an abstract mosaic pattern that also offers shades of all twelve symbols. The Swoosh Brand is also nodding to CNY releases of the past, pulling special details like patent leather from 2009’s nike free waffle ac leather womens pants and faux snakeskin from 2013’s nike dunks grey and pink color chart onto the new models for a clever wink and a nod to previous drops.
