Koio marks the arrival of 2025 with the Capri Lunar New Year Snake, a limited-edition sneaker blending timeless symbolism with contemporary design. The release is steeped in the transformative spirit of the Lunar New Year. It’s handcrafted in Italy from LWG certified white and vibrant red leather and set on a partially recycled rubber sole.
The sneaker’s thoughtful design elements carry deep meaning:
- A white leather upper represents clarity and the promise of new beginnings.
- Vibrant red leather accents on the tongue and back tab symbolize luck, vitality, and joy.
- Luxe gold piping evokes prosperity and success.
- A snake illustration by artist Dahan Chung embodies adaptability, renewal, and wisdom.
Crafted in a limited batch of 300 pairs, this release continues our tradition of Lunar New Year capsules, now in its 5th edition. Each edition has sold out swiftly, cementing its place as a coveted celebration of the season.
