🐎 The Meaning of the Horse in Chinese Culture
力量. 速度. 荣耀. 前行
The Horse (马) has always held a powerful place in Chinese culture. It represents:
-
Strength and endurance – the ability to fight forward when others stop
-
Speed and agility – reacting fast, attacking smart
-
Nobility and pride – lifting your head high with elegance and confidence
-
Forward Movement – symbolising continued progress, success, and ambition
Chinese idioms inspired the design direction, particularly:
“马到成功” — Success arrives the moment the horse appears
A blessing of instant victory, confidence, and breakthrough moments.
This entire collection is designed around that mindset — to inspire belief, momentum, movement, and victory both on and off the court.
🧵 A Fusion of Tradition, Modern Performance & Premium Yonex Craftsmanship
Yonex has mastered the art of designing Lunar New Year collections that truly feel special. The CNY 2026 Horse Collection delivers:
-

-
Smooth, premium comfort suitable for elite play
-
Cultural graphic detailing without being gimmicky
-
Subtle horse motifs celebrating the zodiac in stylish, wearable form
-
Strong colours inspired by festival energy, luck, and celebration
This isn’t costume design.
This is meaningful performance apparel with a cultural soul.
