Nike "Setsubun" Court Force

Nike has just released a new Court force which is dedicated to the "Setsubun".
In Japan, Setsubun (??) is the day before the beginning of each season. The name literally means "seasonal division", but usually the term refers to the spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun (??), celebrated yearly on February 3. In its association with the Lunar New Year, Spring Setsubun can be thought of (and indeed was previously thought of) as a sort of New Year's Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come. This special ritual is called mamemaki (lit. bean scattering). (Wikipedia)
This premium Court Force from Nike features a patent leather upper and a crazy assortment of colors and materials.
