A Closer Look At The Design
This low-top sneaker is the ideal combination of the modern details that are currently trending in the custom sneaker world, grounded with traditional elements from Chinese culture.
To symbolise the more traditional elements of Chinese New Year, the design offers a rich red cheongsam fabric with gold embroidery on the overlays and an elaborate knot pendant on the laces. The fabric is, of course, a nod to the traditional CNY attire for ladies, while the knot pendants represent the decor typically seen during these celebrations.
In contrast, the AJ1 Low itself, plus the python leather on the base and the thick rope laces, make these sneakers a fantastic fit for the current custom sneaker trends.
The perfect finishing touch to the look is a white midsole and red rubber outsole that seamlessly ties together the traditional and modern elements.
What We Like About The Sneakers
It’s always interesting to see a sneaker design that seamlessly blends both traditional and modern aspects, and these Air Jordan 1 Lows do it exceptionally well. The fabric choices, colour balance, and meticulous attention to detail in the design make these among the most appealing takes on the Year of the Snake theme for 2025.
