adidas Basketball Reveals Expansive Year of the Snake Collection

As a dedicated sneaker enthusiast and someone with a soft spot for cultural celebrations, I am absolutely thrilled about adidas Basketball‘s Lunar New Year collection! With my roots deeply embedded in Chinese heritage, this Year of the Snake-inspired lineup resonates profoundly.

I remember fondly the vibrant festivities surrounding Lunar New Year, and how it was always a time to connect with family and friends. To see such an expansive collection that pays homage to my heritage is truly heartwarming. The futuristic designs of the AE1 Low and Harden Vol. 9, with their snakeskin motifs, are not just stunning but also symbolic of the harmonious blend of tradition and modernity in today’s Chinese culture.

The reintroduction of the adidas Intimidation, with its lustrous green hue reminiscent of Jade stones, brings back memories of my grandmother’s precious Jade ornaments. I can almost hear her stories about their significance as a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. The naturalistic snakeskin embossed materials in the Crazy 8 Low and Forum Lo are another nod to the intricate beauty of Chinese craftsmanship that I’ve always admired.

What really seals the deal for me is the purple varsity-style jacket with a snake-shaped adidas emblem applique, reminiscent of the opulent Purple Forbidden City in Beijing. I can’t wait to add these essentials to my wardrobe and celebrate Lunar New Year in style!

On a lighter note, it seems that this year, even my sneakers will be ready for the festivities… but will they bring me as much good luck as a red envelope filled with cash? Only time—and the Lunar New Year—will tell!

To get into the spirit of the approaching Lunar New Year, Adidas Basketball has revealed an extensive lineup themed around the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Snake. This exclusive collection offers five basketball shoes, both new and vintage models, together with a variety of clothing and accessories featuring snake-like patterns.

In 2024, the AE1 Low and Harden Vol. 9 return in their reptilian colorways that were initially presented earlier in the year. These two modern designs exhibit a forward-thinking aesthetic through their upper panels’ sculptural structures. The adidas Intimidation was relaunched with Packer in December, sporting a glossy green hue reminiscent of Jade stones. Lastly, snakeskin-like textures are found in the Crazy 8 Low and Forum Lo, complemented by red and burgundy accents.

As I unboxed the Harden Vol. 9 sneakers, I couldn’t help but notice the striking purple snakeskin-like material that caught my eye. Reminded me of an old favorite – a vintage purple varsity jacket with a sleek adidas snake emblem on its back.

The adidas Basketball line didn’t disappoint; they had sweatshirts and hoodies in black, gray, and red, each one radiating style. But the real showstopper were those side-snap track pants, all decked out in golden details – perfect for adding some sparkle to my game day essentials.

At this moment, specifics regarding the launch date for the entire collection haven’t been disclosed yet. Keep an eye on our site, TopMob, for any upcoming news as we get closer to the Lunar New Year celebrations.
