Year 214 The topic of Valentine's Day sneakers is probably going to be dominated by today's new pair of Nike shoes....
Chinese style design + traditional Chinese craftsmanship + luxury high-specification + double Xi theme, I am afraid that this combination is the first time in the sneaker circle.
It's not just a pair of sneakers that you can wear on your feet, it's more like a work of art with exquisite craftsmanship and cultural heritage, which makes people love it.
Today's protagonist is the pair of Nike Air Force 1 '07 "Xixi" (Cat. No. HJ4285-777), which means "Xi + Xi", which is what we commonly understand as "Shuangxi".
So, it's probably not impossible to call it a double Xi colorway.
At first glance, the intuitive feeling is the word "gorgeous".
The color scheme uses rich gold as the main line, and on top of the golden satin material, there are gold and silver thread embroidery, and this embroidery process has a great origin.
On the two pairs of shoes, the dragon and the phoenix are presented respectively, and the festive meaning of the dragon and phoenix is auspicious.
The left shoe is a dragon, and the right shoe is a phoenix
The embroidery process of the dragon and phoenix also contains a profound traditional Chinese culture, which is derived from one of the four famous embroideries in China.
Originated in the Chaoshan region, it began in the Tang Dynasty, and the style tended to mature in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The characteristic of this embroidery method is that the use of gold thread, silver thread combined embroidery, embroidery thread is thicker, the sense of decoration is more prominent.
It is easier to create eye-catching visual levels, so that the shape of the dragon and phoenix is vivid and has a three-dimensional effect.
Behind this gorgeous and delicate embroidery, is a combination of skill and sweat, a dragon and phoenix embroidery single piece takes 6 hours to complete, each piece is expected to count 40,000 stitches.
People can't help but sigh that in ancient China, the excellence and simplicity of the embroiderers were unimaginable.
The finishing touch of this shoe is the metallic accents of the details.
These metal parts are made from 76% zinc alloy** and are plated with 24k real gold to ensure a gorgeous gloss that will shine like new for a long time.
The toe cap heart, the shoelace buckle, and the shoelace head all bring eye-catching decorative effects with *** luster, making the overall vision of this pair of shoes more bright and richer.
The Chinese style is actually a kind of restrained gorgeousness, so it is also more elegant and versatile in terms of the upper foot effect.
The shoes are lined with leather, which enhances the experience on the inside with a gorgeous look.
The effect of the feet is refreshing and elegant from a distance, and it is amazing and then amazed when you appreciate it up close.
In addition to the dragon and phoenix motifs on the left and right feet, there are more traditional Chinese auspicious elements in the details, such as peonies, goldfish, mandarin ducks, bats, and ruyi.
Not only are the rich visual details overwhelming, but the traditional Chinese culture contained in them is even more fascinating.
The Chinese-style Shuangxi theme, the Chinese-style tide embroidery process, since these shoes are prepared for Valentine's Day, they naturally contain Chinese-style romance.
The exclusive shoebox design presents the shape of the Xi character, and a Xi character sticker is also included with the shoes.
When all the parts of the shoebox are removed, there is no hole.
At the bottom of the shoebox is a **, full of jujubes, peanuts, longan and lotus seeds, which is the meaning of the early birth of a precious son.
Such a shoebox, used as storage alone, also has a festive and auspicious meaning.
