The Nike Air Max 95 Chinese New Year is a performance shoe released to celebrate the Year of the Pig. This version has a black mesh upper and features four layers of hairy black material on the sides that create a wave effect leading to the hairy black toe cap. Decorative details include a Metallic Gold Nike swoosh embroidered near the lateral ankle, gold fabric eyelets, and a Metallic Gold Nike Air logo on the heel. The bold University Red midsole houses Air Max units beneath the forefoot and heel. A standout feature is the Chinese characters on the tongue that emphasize the theme. This shoe was released on January 4, 2019, for $170. Nike also celebrates the Year of the Pig with the Air Max 95 Premium, which has a calf hair upper and mesh lateral panels, with Air Max logo in Chinese on the tongue and gold Swoosh embroidery on the heel, draped in lucky red.
