It’s not like 2010 had a bunch of rabbit fur sneakers or that ’11 could have even offered us real dragon scales as a form of foreshadowing, but there’s been an interesting synchronization between the Chinese zodiac and sneaker design trends of late. As we head into 2013, the snakeskin texture is one of the hottest wild animal prints and might even overtake the recent favorite cheetah/leopard with the way things are going. New England’s native sons will be ready once the new year rolls around with a bold ‘Year of the Snake’ New Balance 574 quartet highlighted by a black-based design whose multicolor scale outline suggests we’ve only scratched the surface of the recent infatuation with texture. Have a closer look below, let us know which pair stands out to you and stick with Sneaker News for release info. via HS
