Kicks : Air Jordan VII Retro ‘Year of the Rabbit’ – New Images

Sneakers celebrating Chinese New Year tend to release around the holiday each February, but the Year of the Rabbit will continue through early 2012.  It seems like a long time to wait, but at least we know the Air Jordan 7 Retro ‘YOTR’ will drop before the Mayan calendar ends.  In these new photos, we get a better sense for how the grey/white base looks in everyday lighting conditions, something that’s particularly important for seeing the true shades of red and gold accents that give this upcoming release a distinct character when compared to the similar AJ7 ‘Hare’. 

Kicks : Air Jordan 2011 "Year Of The Rabbit"

Rabbit coming.

Here are even more angles of the Air Jordan 2011 “Year Of The Rabbit”. It’s already been released in China but look for it’s U.S. release to House of Hoops and select Jordan Brand accounts coming later this month.

The White/Metallic Gold-Varsity Red-Wolf Grey shoe officially retails for $180.

Kicks : Nike Air Force 1 Supreme ‘Year of the Rabbit’

On the last weekend before the arrival of the Chinese New Year, the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Year of the Rabbit’ is set for a release. Featuring a milky-white outsole, a chenille swoosh with alternating colors on the lateral and medial side, and combination of leather and suede on the upper, the Year of the Rabbit Air Force 1 almost has a Bespoke-like level of luxury, but at far less a cost. The initial release in China included a special White Rabbit candy-inspired packaging and unfortunately most, if not all of the U.S. release will not, but the packaging is an afterthought at this point because you’ll be wanting to wear these any chance you get. These are slated to release tomorrow, January 29th, at 21 Mercer and other select top-tier Nike Sportswear accounts, so check out these new detailed images below. If you’re unable to get to one of the stores, pick up a pair now on eBay.
