Step Into the Festive Spirit of Year of the Dragon with these CNY-Inspired Footwear

As the Lunar New Year approaches in just under two weeks, it’s time to have your new ensembles ready to ring in the new year with a clean slate and to usher in good fortune.

But don’t forget about the shoes. Once the festivities roll around, it’s customary to avoid buying shoes until the 16th day of spring, as the Cantonese word for shoes sounds like a sign, which is associated with bad luck.  If you find yourself in need of the perfect shoes to complete your spring wardrobe, now it’s time to head to Harbour City, where you can discover these Chinese New Year-inspired footwear in time.

Stay active in style

Amp up your workout routine with these chic sneakers. Each of these pairs encapsulate just the right amount of festive vibe, so you can easily incorporate them into your everyday style even beyond the new year’s season.

The iconic MEXICO 66 by Onitsuka Tiger is given a limited-edition update. While retaining its classic 1960s appeal, this special release combines the heritage of the original LIMBER-UP™ training shoe from 1961 and the design of the LIMBER shoe from 1966.

As some thoughtful nods to Chinese culture, the heel flap proudly displays the Chinese characters ”虎啸” and ”龍吟” (“Tiger Roar” and “Dragon Chant”), while the iconic Onitsuka Tiger Stripes, elastic laces, and sock liner are all adorned in a striking red hue.

For those in search of a lightweight and stylish footwear option, look no further than the Ami Paris Rush Sneakers, exclusively available at Harbour City. These sneakers are expertly crafted from high-quality leather, boasting a sophisticated colorway in beige and pale pink.

This unique combination offers a refreshing take on the vibrant trends often associated with the festive season, adding a touch of understated elegance to your ensemble.
