This marks another addition to the thematic series, following an <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/12\/05\/nike-air-jordan-1-low-se-year-of-the-dragon\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air Jordan 1 Low SE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/11\/09\/nike-dunk-low-gs-year-of-the-dragon\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nike Dunk Low<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Year of the Dragon 2.0&#8221; diverges from its predecessor&#8217;s cool tones, embracing a more earthy, subdued color scheme. The sneaker is predominantly dressed in shades of Khaki and Sesame, with a TPU-reinforced ripstop base layer enhancing its durability. Adding to its distinctiveness are the lockdown straps, showcasing a woodgrain-like pattern and a prominent Noble Red Swoosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What truly sets this sneaker apart is the dragon motif, intricately embroidered onto the medial ankle. This feature weaves a tale of the Year of the Dragon, blending tradition with modern sneaker culture. The design is completed with a striking Gum Yellow rubber sole, ensuring that this sneaker is as functional as it is aesthetically appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Releasing at select Nike Basketball retailers and on Nike.com, the KD 4 \u201cYear of the Dragon 2.0\u201d will be available in men\u2019s sizes for US$150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other sneaker-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/12\/11\/kevin-durants-easy-money-persona-shines-on-the-nike-kd-16-all-star\/?slide=right\">Kevin Durant\u2019s Nike KD 16 \u201cAll-Star\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunkappen.page.link\/5aH1_AppHomepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15110324\/Generic-Banner-V1.webp\" alt=\"SNKRDUNK App Banner\" class=\"wp-image-151763\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Update 25 Jan 2024] Official visuals of the Nike KD 4 &#8220;Year of the Dragon 2.0&#8221; have just surfaced.
