Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Chinese New Year" 2026 IQ1108-011

Jordan Brand continues its 2026 celebration with a refined take on the Chinese New Year theme. The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Chinese New Year” leans into the Year of the Horse story, blending tradition with premium execution. It feels festive. Still wearable. And very collectible.

The first thing you’ll notice is texture. Pony hair lands on the heel and Swoosh, adding depth and a tactile edge that links directly to the zodiac inspiration. It contrasts beautifully with the smooth leather base in soft Sail and muted grey tones. Clean. Balanced. Easy to style year-round.

Floral embroidery spreads across the toe box, bold and intricate against the understated upper. Metallic Gold accents sharpen the look, catching light without overpowering the palette. The tongue tag arrives rolled like a scroll, sealed with red stitching. Even the packaging switches things up with a gold-on-gold spin on the classic AJ1 box. It’s thoughtful. It stands out on shelf and on foot.

The shape sticks to true OG specs. That means classic low-cut proportions and heritage panel blocking straight from 1985. For long-time fans of the Air Jordan 1, this is the silhouette you know and trust. Timeless lines. Reliable comfort. A rubber outsole that grips as well on UK pavements as it does on hardwood.

From a styling angle, this pair does a lot. Neutral tones make it easy with cargos, tailored trousers, or relaxed denim. The gold hits and embroidery bring enough flair for statement fits. You can keep it subtle. Or let the shoes do the talking.
