Nike Air Max Plus Longtaitou Festival

Tthe Nike Air Max Plus Longtaitou Festival is a playful edition celebrating the Chinese tradition of the Longtaitou Festival. Meaning "dragon raising its head", this festival was first celebrated in the Tang and Song dynasties to pray for a good farming season. This Air Max Plus edition boasts a gradient of pink, white, and blue, reminiscent of the decorative dragons, while the French terry lining and piping around the looped eyestays and heel adds a touch of luxury. In an unconventional move, Nike has pre-tied the laces so that they wrap around the shoe. The insoles detail the stereotypical barbershop floor as a nod to the cultural oddity of cutting one's hair during the second lunar month to avoid bad luck. Nike has even included a spare pair of cream laces and laces tips for those who wish to customize their look.
