adidas has a number of models scheduled to release in celebration of Chinese New Year, and the one we didn’t see coming was the T-Mac 5.
The color pallet is simple and gorgeous. You can never, ever, go wrong with Black/White-Red. Ever. And when you add in the subtle Chinese New Year [2017 is the Year of the Rooster] elements it just sets things off even further. This silhouette may be the standout from adidas’ Chinese New Year lineup.
No word on if these will release Stateside, but once we know we’ll post an update. In the meantime, share your thoughts on the adidas T-Mac 5 ‘CNY’ below in the comment section.
According to Nike, the Air Jordan XXXII “Chinese New Year” will be released on Friday, February 9 at 9am [GMT+8]. No prices have been revealed yet.

adidas continues the Chinese New Year theme by unveiling a celebratory colorway of the EQT Support 93/16. A fusion of the Three Stripes’ classic design cues and innovative BOOST technology, the hybrid model is presented in a tonal beige base that partially mimics the characteristics of a feather, while the other portions are wrapped in a rich suede. adidas has also placed a tricolor embroidery of a Rooster along the heel and a custom insole bearing the same color scheme to help usher in the Chinese New Year. Each pair will be sold in a commemorative wooden box at select adidas accounts including Juice.
