Monkey business: fashion accessories for the Chinese New Year

The Year of the Monkey starts on February 8 according to the Chinese lunar calendar, and some of the biggest fashion houses are getting involved in the celebrations. The sportswear giant's Chinese New Year Collection features limited editions of the D Lillard 2 and D Rose 6 sneakers, inspired by the symbolic nature of this year's Chinese Zodiac — the “Fire Monkey.” The footwear features custom fire monkey graphics, tonal prints and vivid color hits. The D Lillard 2 boasts a fanged fire monkey graphic print and red and gold accents, while the D Rose 6 features a fire red graphic printed on black to reveal the aggressive nature of the “Fire Monkey,” alongside gold hits on the eyelets.
