Jordan Brand has been ramping up their Air Jordan 31 colorways with a number of enticing options to round out the year, and 2017 is already promising for the latest signature model inspired by the AJ1 thanks to the upcoming “Chinese New Year” Collection. While the trio of footwear releases boasts two different Air Jordan 12 options, the Air Jordan 31 Chinese New Year stands out thanks to the implementation of actual bamboo on the heel trim.
The Air Jordan XXX1 has already utilized a number of different material options to go with the futuristic Flyweave construction throughout. Not only did we see patent leather in an effort to mimic the Space Jam 11s, but the Battle Grey option featured a pre-cracked leather in an homage to blacktop hooping. Air Jordan 31 “Chinese New Year” features a clean white to black Flyweave gradient with Pure Platinum Jumpman branding while an icy outsole showcases a bamboo pattern underneath. Team Red Jumpman branding stands out in contrast while the embossed Wings logo is almost camouflaged on the synthetic leather.
The Air Jordan 31 Chinese New Year is slated to arrive January 7th in China while a U.S. release is scheduled for January 28th for $200 USD. (The additional price is due to the premium bamboo on the heel). Check out more detailed photos below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for more updates.
