Air Jordan 5 Retro Low Chinese New Year (2021)

Jordan Brand rang in the Chinese New Year in 2021 with the Jordan 5 Low Chinese New Year. On the surface, this low-top Jordan 5 might appear to merely be a clean, cream sneaker, but below the surface is a loud, patterned print ready to be unleashed. The upper of the Jordan 5 Low CNY is composed of a Sail tear-away canvas that exposes a vibrant, multicolor pattern underneath. The sole is primarily Sail with hits of red and yellow on the lateral toe in the familiar shark-tooth design. Other details include the word 'ACTION' below the medial netting and a Jumpman banner patch featuring Chinese characters that read '23' located on the heel. The Jordan 5 Low Chinese New Year released in January of 2021 and retailed for $215. Dropping as part of Nike’s 2021 CNY collection, the Air Jordan 5 Low ‘Chinese New Year’ draws inspiration from a celebratory temple fair. The low-top makes use of a tearaway textile upper in Sail, which reveals a multi-color firecracker pattern underneath the top layer. The sneaker’s molded eyelets and collar lining are finished in Chile Red, matching the shark tooth detailing that decorates the PU midsole. An embroidered banner graphic on the back heel adds a festive touch.
