Under Nike's umbrella, Jordan Brand has long been esteemed in sneaker culture globally. Their penchant for celebrating cultures and events is evident in their yearly tribute to the Chinese New Year. As we eagerly await the release of the Year of the Dragon Collection in 2024, the brand took an opportunity to honor 2023's Year of the Rabbit with a special edition of the Jordan 23. The silhouette, which has a history of receiving the Chinese New Year treatment, makes a second appearance for 2023, showcasing a detailed design that pays homage to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Air Jordan 23 Retro CN Mid-Autumn Festival displays a mastery of subtlety and craftsmanship and comes similar to the other Year of the Rabbit Jordan 23. Dominated by a pristine white base, the sneaker draws attention to its intricate red and blue embroidered details, which meander gracefully along the upper. The iconic Jordan branding on the tongue continues the color narrative, integrating the red and blue embroidery elegantly. Inside, the sneaker holds a surprise with its vibrant red insole with a custom "23" graphic branding, reflecting its identity. Finishing off this exquisite design is a semi-translucent rubber midsole and outsole, offering durability and an added touch of style.
The Air Jordan 23 Retro CN Mid-Autumn Festival was released on September 29, 2023, exclusively via Nike in China.
