It may be taking up the bulk of our coverage on the subject, but Nike isn’t the only brand dedicating serious effort to Chinese New Year. Teeing off their commemorative slate with our early look at the CLOT Superstar “Chinese New Year,” the Three Stripes’ dedications continue with a trio of classic models for the “Year of the Snake” collection.

adidas reserves the snakeskin treatment for the Three Stripes branding on the sidewalls of each shoe. Even if the material changes are slight on these shoes, the commemorative appeal they each carry is undeniable all the same; Hanzi lettering at the heel, a uniting cream, red, white and gold colorway and and special edition tongues ensure that on each shoe.

The Samba may be the most unconventional of the pack, interrupting its branding at the quarter with an off-color patch of leather underneath. In case the atmosphere wasn’t fully driven home, each of the shoes arrives with shared burgundy and gold shoe boxes.

Look for the adidas Originals “Year of the Snake” CNY pairs coming about via adidas.com in the coming weeks. You can catch official images of all three pairs included just ahead.
