With the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, sneakerheads have seen a surge of fantastic dragon-centric designs to rave about. Among these stylish offerings, the Air Jordan 1 Low x Travis Scott “China Town” is undoubtedly a treasure with its detailed dragon scale-inspired accents and opulent gold silk upper.
Getting into the Details of the Design
The eye-catching custom design by KICKXOTIC gives the complete upper and midsole of the AJ1 a shimmery gold finish, courtesy of the Chinese silk material. This stunning fabric is adorned with dragon embroidery and swirling cloud patterns that embody this year’s Chinese zodiac theme.
The next design detail worth mentioning is the unique maroon-coloured leather that gives a captivating finish to the profile Swooshes, heel tab, and tongue’s rim. This exotic material once again symbolises the grandeur of the dragon, evoking an image of its beautiful scales.

Bringing the design together is a beige rubber outsole and cream-coloured laces that perfectly complement the shoe’s overall colour scheme.
What We Love About These Sneakers
I truly admire the rich symbolism and heritage of Chinese culture. So, when these elements are craftily incorporated into unique sneakers, I can’t help but swoon. Plus, let’s be honest: who can resist the beauty of shiny golden silk? This entire design is nothing short of majestic.
