Inspired by the Year of the Snake: adidas Basketball’s Lunar New Year Collection
In anticipation of the upcoming Lunar New Year celebrations, adidas Basketball has just dropped a massive collection inspired by the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Snake. The collection features five basketball sneakers, as well as a wide range of apparel and accessories adorned with snakeskin motifs.
Reptilian Colorways and Futuristic Designs
Included in the collection are the AE1 Low and Harden Vol. 9, both sporting their previously released reptilian colorways from 2024. These two modern models boast a sleek and futuristic aesthetic with their sculptural upper panels. The adidas Intimidation, which was reintroduced in collaboration with Packer in December, is also part of the collection, now available in a lustrous green reminiscent of Jade stones. The Crazy 8 Low and Forum Lo feature naturalistic snakeskin-embossed materials in red and burgundy accents.
Complete Your Look with Snakeskin-Inspired Apparel
To complete your Lunar New Year look, adidas Basketball offers a variety of apparel and accessories featuring snakeskin-like materials. The Harden Vol. 9’s purple snakeskin design is mirrored in a varsity-style jacket, complete with a snake-shaped adidas emblem on the back. Sweatshirts and hoodies with adidas Basketball branding are available in black, gray, and red, while side-snap track pants feature golden details for a truly festive touch.
Release Date Yet to be Announced
As of now, there is no official release date for the full collection. Stay tuned to Hypebeast for updates as the Lunar New Year Holiday approaches. Get ready to ring in the Year of the Snake in style with adidas Basketball’s Lunar New Year collection.
