Nike will ring in the Lunar New Year 2025 with a striking new addition to the Air Max 1 family. The Nike Air Max 1 “Snakeskin” is set for a Spring 2025 release, offering sneaker enthusiasts a fresh take on the beloved silhouette just in time for the Year of the Snake celebrations.
This latest iteration of the Air Max 1 features a premium leather upper with faux snakeskin detailing, creating a textured and luxurious aesthetic[1]. The design incorporates earthy tones with overlays in malt, velvet brown and light orewood brown that perfectly complement the snakeskin accents. The iconic midfoot swoosh also features the snakeskin pattern, making a bold yet sophisticated statement.
Ribbed satin nylon tongues add a subtle touch of elegance to the shoe. Muted gold accents on the upper eyelets, rear embroidery and air unit supports tie the design to the celebratory theme of the Lunar New Year, while also nodding to the traditional symbolism of prosperity associated with the holiday.
The Nike Air Max 1 “Snakeskin” is a wearable piece of art that pays homage to the Year of the Snake. The thoughtful design elements, from the carefully selected color palette to the intricate textures, showcase Nike’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
While official pricing has not yet been announced, the Nike Air Max 1 “Snakeskin” is expected to be available in early 2025 through Nike retail stores and online platforms.
