Nike Air Force 1 Low Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon (China Exclusive)
These sneakers are a gold silk-wrapped shoe embellished with both Nike and Year of the Dragon themes. Golden-headed dragons with violet and silver detailing are meticulously embroidered on the panels while distinctive celebratory embroideries on the toeboxes front the sneaker. The golden Nike Air logo is embroidered on the heel just above the repeating Chinese character “喜喜” — translating to double the happiness. “喜喜” pays homage to both Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day, which are occurring within days of each other. Final touches are found on the branded gold tongue tag, lace dubraes and gold lace aglets, while the cream outsole offers comfortable support and matching laces tie the luxurious iteration together for a clean finish.

Air Jordan 1 85' Metallic Burgundy Red
Last available in 1985, the "Metallic Burgundy" Air Jordan 1 has been one of the most highly sought-after pairs among vintage Air Jordan collectors—some even stating that it's the hardest to acquire. Part of the "Metallic" Pack, the rare pair features a white leather build with contrasting metallic team red accent hits, a white midsole, and team red outsole.

Air Jordan 4 Reimagined Bred
According to @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files, the Air Jordan 4 “Bred” will be reimagined in 2024. The latter source adds that “reimagined” in this case might not necessarily mean made to look vintage. However, Jordan Brand’s previous releases through this lens, including the “Lost and Found” Air Jordan 1 and the aforementioned “White Cement” Jordan 3, have featured a faux-aged look.

Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 Low OG
This collection introduces two color options, namely “Home” and “Away.”
Drawing inspiration from Michael Jordan’s 1986 Fleer Basketball rookie card and a 1984 Sports Illustrated photo featuring MJ in his Chicago Bulls warmups, both pairs boast a “Reverse Black Toe” colorway. The design incorporates polyester fabric on the toe, replicating the vintage jersey materials.
The “Home” iteration, exclusively available in-store in Orlando, Florida, showcases a White Swoosh and pays homage to the ’86 Fleer rookie card with its Blue and Yellow trim.
23 February
Adidas Clot Superstar
Clot was founded by Edison Chen and Kevin Poon in 2003 and while this collection may be new, it's not the first time Clot has collaborated with Adidas. Previous projects include a ZX 800 in 2008, a Superstar 80s in 2012, and a ZX Flux in 2015.
The collection is set to launch in early 2024, with the white Superstars dropping as the first global release.
24 February
Air Jordan 1 High Black White
The Air Jordan 1 “Black/White” combines the color blocking of the “Bred” with the palette of the ubiquitous “Panda” colorway. In place of red, the Swoosh, heel counter, ankle flaps, and toe box all opt for a neutral white finish, matching that of the midsole and the Nike Air branding along the tongue. Black, then, rounds out the design of the shoe, dressing the Wings, outsole, and much of everything in between.
