With Chinese New Year just around the corner, we can surely expect brands such as Nike to drop themed releases in the build-up towards the grand event. A couple of weeks back, we took a look at the Air Jordan 6 “CNY,” and now it’s time to take a peek at the upcoming Air Max 90 version.

Dressed in a black leather finish, tonal paisley accents find its way onto the mudguard with splashes of red and yellow landing on the tongue, which embody the colors of the nation’s flag. More bold punches of red can be found on the side panel Swoosh, along with Nike Air branding on the heel counter. Although price and drop date still have yet to be confirmed, be sure to check back for future updates.
