Release: Jan 23

Price: 210 USD

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Low 'Year of the Snake', and as fans call them, the Air Jordan 11 Snake, continues the Jordan Brand tradition of commemorating the Chinese New Year.. The Year of the Snake melds cultural symbolism with the Air Jordan 11 silhouette for this special edition sneaker.

Aesthetics

The Year of the Snake edition is finished in shades of white and grey. The top part is premium leather, while snake-skin textures on the mudguard reflect the Chinese zodiac sign.

Little green accents on the Jumpman logo and inner lining add color without being overly bright. These little pops of color elevate the sneaker and tie together the renewal and prosperity of the Lunar New Year. A translucent outsole completes the look with a modern twist on the Air Jordan 11 aesthetic.

Performance

True to its basketball heritage, the Air Jordan 11 Snake packs performance features for on-court action as well as everyday wear.

• Responsive Cushioning: The full-length Air-Sole unit provides great cushioning for movement.
• Durable Traction: The translucent rubber outsole is grippy for stability on a range of surfaces.
• Supportive Fit: Leather and synthetic materials make up the upper allowing for a secure yet supportive fit for both athletes and casual wearers.

This tactful blend of performance features and aesthetic embellishments make the Air Jordan 11 snake a real killer on the courts as well as a fashion item for the streets.  

Cultural Relevance of The Air Jordan 11 Snake

The Chinese New Year is a time for celebrations, renewal and cultural expression. Snake-skin textures and a refined color scheme complete this Air Jordan 11 Retro Low in celebration of the Year of the Snake traditions. Snakes represent wisdom, change and rebirth in Chinese culture and the sneaker reflects that with thoughtful details and design.

The small green accents represent growth and vitality - themes associated with the Lunar new Year.

Styling Suggestions

Neutral colours make this Year of the Snake edition versatile for any wardrobe. For a casual look, wear sneakers with slim-fit jeans and a white tee. For a polished look, team them with tailored chinos and a button-down shirt.

If you want a more daring look, wear subtle green accessories like a watch strap, belt, or cap that echo the sneaker accents. This creates a cohesive look with the thoughtful color scheme.
