The perfect sneaker for the Year of the Rabbit

The Chinese New Year, celebrated on January 22, started the Year of the Rabbit, a peaceful animal who does not like conflict and is considered rather lucky. In fact, in the Chinese tradition it is customary to associate each year with an animal. In the Eastern world, the zodiac sign strictly depends on the year of birth and the cycle repeats itself every twelve years, this is because a legend has it that Buddha, sensing his end on Earth, called together all the species of animals present on earth for the 'last farewell. Not everyone showed up. The first to arrive was the Rat, followed by other animals: Buffalo, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. To reward their fidelity, the Buddha decided to nickname each lunar cycle with the name of one of the 12 animals.

This new year was also celebrated by the sneaker world with some dedicated releases to enhance the figure of the rabbit, the protagonist in this 2023.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG “Year of the Rabbit”

Released on January 21st, it was created to celebrate this new year and does so with a limited edition, since there are only 5,000 pairs on the market, individually numbered on the inner tongue.

The sneaker also features a mix of brown, sail, white and gray tones crafted in suede and terry lining materials. Bunny motifs on the interior tabs, frayed fur-like laces, and red and gold branded insoles atop a translucent brown outsole complete the design. Michael Jordan himself, born in 1963, was born under the sign of the rabbit.

Jordan 1 Elevate Low “Year of the Rabbit”

Also in a limited edition of 5000 pairs and in celebration of the year of the rabbit, Jordan has created an Elevate Low, with the traditional "YOTR" color block. Made in a mix of leather, suede and mesh materials, it features the characteristic rabbit motif behind the tongues with the respective numbering. The red insoles inside, which refer to China and the platform, complete the particular design of this sneaker.

Nike Dunk Low Retro PRM “Year of the Rabbit”

Even the Dunk Low participates in the celebration of this new Chinese New Year, with a Retro PRM "Year Of the Rabbit" model in different colors, all available on our site. The one that most refers to the colors of the New Year in China is definitely the Brown Orange, made with a mix of different materials and with chenille swoosh and tabs.

Another Jordan proposal for this 2023 is represented by the Jordan 1 High Zoom Air CMFT 2.
