Sneakerbae | Nike Official Images of the Air Max 98 CNY

Every year Nike and Jordan brand drops a special collection in honor of the Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is a festival in China celebrating the ringing in of a New Year. Nike has always embraced the cultural aspect of the CNY in their annual CNY collections this year is no different. The nine piece collection will include the new Jordan 33 silhouette to a Converse Chuck Hi.

The Vapormax 2.0 misses the mark completely, pretty just we’ve seen this colorway before on a OG Vapormax

Some of the models in the pack don’t really translate well like the Vapormax 2.0 it just looks plain next to all the patterns and colors on the other models. But the newly released images of the Nike Air Max 98, which will be the men’s complement to the Women’s CNY mode, is proving to be the best colorway out of the pack.

The Men’s CNY Air Max is one of the best colorways in most recent years of the CNY

The elements are there for the Women’s 98, but it doesn’t mesh well with the theme of the other models

From the pony hair to the to the Bai Jia Yi print And the patent leather just gives it that extra punch. The women’s “What The CNY” is good as well but is missing some elements that could have been taken from the men’s model.
