The Lunar New Year’s celebrations for the Year of the Horse brought out the best from the sneaker industry this year, with Jordan adding horse hair to the Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 collection, Nike putting a Pegasus theme into flight, and adidas highlighting Anthony Edwards, James Harden, and its ongoing CLOT collab. The Three Stripes isn’t done with the party just yet, though, and a new pair of multi-color Evo SL Woven just hit shelves in China to extend the celebration a bit longer.
The adidas Adizero Evo SL Woven Chinese New Year is as loud as a string of firecrackers, starting with a shimmering multi-color metallic upper that covers the entire shoe and changes colors depending on how the light hits it. The Three Stripes branding adds even more metallic multi-color with a rainbow gradient shine that streaks into purple hits at the top of the stacked white midsole.

A black tongue, grey laces, and white midsole give the shoe a bit of a break from the flash of strobing color, but the outsole goes back to the same shade of purple as the Three Stripes for a return to form.
The adidas Adizero Evo Sl Woven Chinese New Year is available now across China through adidas and select retailers in-store and online. As of now, no stateside release has been scheduled. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at ¥1299 (approx. $190). For all the latest adidas news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
