Why the Nike LeBron 18 "Gong Xi Fa Cai" Celebrates Traditional Chinese Culture

"Gong Xi Fa Cai" is an expression in China that is used to bless one another every Chinese New Year, and Nike took inspiration from it. With 400ml_Brand, a local graffiti group in China, Nike designed this LeBron 18 and enlivened the high-top sneaker with bold colours.

The upper of the Nike LeBron 18 "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is mainly coloured red, and right next to it are blue heel elements that are decorated with artificial water drops. A white midsole is then given similar accents.

Inside, we see the expression from the eponymous colourway, as "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is depicted on the insole in the form of window bars. Gold details on the heels, blue laces, and the Air technology on the tongue round off the colourway perfectly.

Don't Miss the Release of the Nike LeBron 18 "Gong Xi Fa Cai"

The Nike LeBron 18 "Gong Xi Fa Cai" hasn't been seen in Europe yet, but it will reportedly be released on February 6th at Nike and selected retailers.
