In 2005, Nike launched the exclusive Air Force 1 Premium 'Year Of The Rooster' sneaker as a tribute to Chinese New Year. Crafted with a full-grain leather upper, the shoe creatively incorporates the traditional symbol of the zodiac character on the counter. Notably, the tongue label and backstay feature laser-cut branding, while a contrasting strip of nubuck is added to the heel. Enhancing its design, the Air-encapsulating cupsole is enhanced with a translucent gum rubber tread, ensuring both style and functionality.
