A first look to Nike's Air Max 98 "Chinese New Year" 2019

While the whole world is preparing for Christmas, Nike team is busy with the Chinese New Year. As usual, the sportswear giant will launch a special sneaker, never like this time so bold and aggressive. Maybe too much. In fact, for the anniversary of February 5, 2019, he decided to reinterpret the silhouette of the Air Max 98 with a mash-up of prints, Asian motifs and materials. The images just appeared online reveal an upper decorated in the upper part with lotus flowers and Chinese artwork, in the middle with a central pony-shaped panel and the lower one with a snake-skin weave. All completed with red and gold-colored paint details, Teal-colored accents, thick laces in spotted rope on top of a white midsole and a black rubber sole. If you are thinking that this time Nike has made a shoe a bit 'too "noisy" and "confused", we agree with you! Ok that the Chinese world is full of wonderful references, but it is not necessary to use them all at the same time.

We're wrong and, instead, you think Nike Air Max 98 Chinese New Year is great? Well, then know that it should arrive in stores next February. Stay on nss for future updates!
