Why You'll Love It

• White premium leather upper with Metallic Gold accents — the Chinese New Year's defining palette rendered in the AJ12's signature full-grain leather construction, the crisp White leather providing the clean, celebratory base that gives the gold detailing its maximum visual impact, the rich Metallic Gold accents threaded through the colorway's key design elements delivering the festive, premium character that makes the Chinese New Year one of the most visually striking and collector-celebrated AJ12 releases ever produced, the gold's warm, luxurious presence against the white leather creating the colorway's signature celebratory aesthetic and establishing it as one of the most ornate and culturally significant AJ12 limited editions in the silhouette's history
• Chinese New Year-inspired artwork and embroidery carry the release's cultural theme through the AJ12's most visible surface areas — the intricate decorative detailing that references traditional Chinese New Year iconography and that gives the 2017 Chinese New Year its unique, culturally rich identity, the artwork's detailed craftsmanship elevating the AJ12 beyond a standard colorway release and into the territory of wearable cultural artifact, the embroidered and printed design elements working together with the White and Gold palette to create a release that honors the cultural significance of Chinese New Year while delivering the premium build quality and collector-grade finish that Jordan Brand's most coveted limited editions are known for
• Metallic Gold Jumpman and tongue branding extend the colorway's festive gold accent through the AJ12's most prominent branding elements — the iconic Jumpman logo rendered in the same warm Metallic Gold that defines the colorway's accent and that gives the Chinese New Year its cohesive, head-to-toe gold application, the gold branding's premium finish reinforcing the release's celebratory, luxury character and ensuring that the Chinese New Year's festive identity is carried through every major design touchpoint of the AJ12's silhouette
• Full-length Air-Sole cushioning unit delivers the AJ12's foundational performance technology in the Chinese New Year colorway — the full-length Air cushioning that Tinker Hatfield incorporated into the AJ12 to provide the impact protection and court-ready performance that MJ demanded during his 1996-97 championship season, preserved in the 2017 Chinese New Year retro to ground the colorway's ornate, celebratory aesthetic in authentic performance heritage and deliver the everyday comfort that makes the AJ12 one of the most wearable and collectible retro Jordan silhouettes available
• Herringbone-pattern rubber outsole completes the Chinese New Year's head-to-toe construction with the AJ12's signature court-performance traction pattern — the distinctive herringbone outsole that gave the AJ12 its on-court grip and durability during MJ's 1996-97 season and that has become one of the silhouette's most recognizable design details, preserved in the 2017 Chinese New Year retro to deliver both authentic performance heritage and the traction reliability that makes the AJ12 a genuine dual-purpose collector and wearable sneaker
