Before you say it, we know Christmas isn’t even over yet. Neither is New Year’s. But we think it’s never too early to start planning your outfits, especially for Chinese New Year. Perhaps it’s also time to break some traditions in 2017 and opt for these limited edition sneakers instead of killer heels? If you ask us, fashion always comes before comfort. But if you can be comfortable AND stylish in these kicks, why would anyone refuse!
Vans X Kim Keroic
To celebrate the year of the rooster, the skate brand collaborated with Kim Keroic, a Shanghai-based designer, to redesign six of the brand’s iconic silhouettes. It’s quite quirky actually, with the life cycle of a rooster serving as inspiration for the collection. The nudes represent an unhatched egg, the furry yellow pair imitates the skin of a baby chick, and the rooster tail can be seen as an accent on the white slip-ons. These might release really soon though, so keep an eye on their websites and stores if you really want a pair. Our pick? Definitely the rooster tail pair.

NikeiD Chinese New Year AF1
This one’s for those of you that absolutely love celebrating CNY and wants the whole world to know that you love it. Who could possibly miss the striking metallic red and gold print on these Air Force 1s? If it’s too much for you, you can always select a different colour combination. Ah, the wonders of customisation.

Adidas Ultra BOOST 3.0 & Ultra BOOST Uncaged
Something a little less in your face, but still festive nonetheless. The 3.0 comes with spattered maroon Primeknit, and contrasting printed laces. The tongue features a special CNY branding logo, while the laces have red aglets (our favourite part!)
The Uncaged on the other hand is incredibly subtle. It comes with similar printed shoelaces, but the Primeknit here is white and with little red and black freckles.
