6 sneakers for Chinese New Year 2024, the Year of the Dragon, from Burberry’s classic checked red and Tory Burch’s charming illustrated shoes, to Moncler and Bottega Veneta’s athletic trainers
- Signature prints by luxury brands get a revamp for the Year of the Dragon, from Burberry’s checked pattern to Tory Burch’s monogram and cute cloud accents on its Good Luck trainers
- Meanwhile, Moncler and Bottega Veneta take a more athletic approach with shoes that might be better suited for hiking in the mountains than casual strolls
Below, check out six of our top picks for the Year of the Dragon, which will be a hit among sneakerheads and non-sneakerheads alike.
1. Burberry
Burberry’s classic checked print comes alive in red on the check woven creeper shoes, making it the preppy trainer of choice for the Year of the Dragon. If you’re not ready to go all in on trainers just yet, you can stick with the brand’s classic Chelsea boots instead.
Well-known for its sleek, autumn ready-to-wear, Burberry is an ideal luxury label for Hong Kong’s chilly but not too cold Lunar New Year weather. Complete the look with a classic trench or special cashmere scarf from the festive capsule collection, or throw on a baseball cap or bucket hat for some added cheer.
2. Tory Burch
For a more feminine and playful preppy look, check out Tory Burch’s latest edition of the Good Luck trainer for the Year of the Dragon, with its signature monogram print and pixelated cloud accents – a nod to the dragon’s sky-high home.
Its laid-back, cutesy cousin, the Ladybug sneaker, is a flat-top trainer that wouldn’t look out of place any other time of the year, either.
Clouds make an appearance across the rest of the capsule collection’s cosy winter pieces too, ranging from cardigans to pullovers. If clouds aren’t quite on the nose enough for you, the Dragon espadrilles are sure to give you a spring in your step with their beautifully detailed illustrations.
