Nike Unveils The “Year Of The Rat” Collection For Chinese New Year

Slowly revealed throughout the last few months, almost each and every model from Nike’s Chinese New Year celebrations have been made known to the world, though with the entire pack’s official announcement, the brand draws a picture much more rich than images alone can express. Expansive and illustrative by way of patterns, the range celebrates the Year of the Rat whose 2020 festivities mark a brand new cycle within the 12-part Zodiac calendar; each of the offerings — of which there are both Jordan Brand and inline pairs alike — are designs that nod to the last four periods of the cultural symbol.

And these, which land on 1972, 1984, 1996, and 2008, align with key moments in Nike history: the founding of the Cortez, their sponsorship of a Chinese track team, the hoops fever that transitioned overseas, and the dual appearance of the Hyperdunk during the Olympics. Imagery backed alongside each milestone draw lines informed by traditional motifs, matching the energy of the forthcoming collection.

The core eight releases — with accompanying cameo appearances from womenswear staples — mix lifestyle with performance quite seamlessly.
