Air Jordan: Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year or “Lunar New Year” is a time when Nike gets heavily invested and celebrates with various sneakers and apparel.

In recent months, the Swoosh has been dropping some heat with their sneaker releases as not only are they aesthetically pleasing but they’re also very limited which leads to a lot of resale potentials. Although that is not always the case.

The Air Jordan 5 Low Chinese New Year, for example, resells for an average price of just $240 while the Air Jordan 12 CNY resells for just north of $300.

Air Jordan 1 CNY sneakers, on the other hand, are highly profitable. To estimate resale for the Air Jordan 1 Low OG Chinese New Year, let’s head on over to StockX.

Released last year for The Year of The Ox, these Jordan 1s feature an opulent design with red underlays and black overlays with golden embroideries embellished by depictions of Oxen and other artifacts.

A golden tassel, white midsoles, and red outsoles finish off the design.

On websites such as StockX, these kicks are reselling for whopping price tags of around $500, largely due to the limited quantity they were released in.

This Air Jordan 1’s aesthetics reflect its moniker perfectly with Sail leather overlays and tiger stripes on the side panels and the perforated toes.

Heel tabs feature orange leather with black tiger logos, complementing the orange “Nike Air” branding on the tongue’s black tags. Insoles, on the other hand, feature white inserts with golden Chinese art style graphics.

Black Swooshes with white stitching, white midsoles, and tan outsoles with large Jordan Wings motifs finish off the design.

FAQs on Air Jordan 1 Low OG Chinese New Year 2022

How can you tell if Jordan 1 High Og are fake?

The Original Air Jordan 1s have equidistant thick stitching that you usually won’t find on fakes. Fakes also have discrepancies when it comes to the logos and the colors. Moreover, the logos and their placing can also be off on fakes.

Do any NBA players wear Jordans?

Interestingly, Michael Jordan refuses to let any NBA stars wear his sneakers unless they “play for Jordan Brand”. Players that are signed to Jordan Brand include Carmello Anthony, Russell Westbrook, Luka Doncic, and Zion Williamson.

Why did Jordans shoes get banned?

Due to the NBA deeming the color “Bred” not meeting the criteria, they were banned. The rumor goes that Michael Jordan had to pay a heavy fine every time he played in them although this is just a myth and probably not true.

What are the most expensive Jordan 1s?

Michael Jordan’s personal Air Jordan 1 High Chicago is the most expensive Jordan 1 to ever be sold for a whopping $615,000 in August of 2020.

Until next time!
