Footwear: Nike AF1- Year of The Rabbit- Toronto Release
I’m looking forward to this drop! I think these are great collector items. I remember seeing the first Year Of’s at Sneaker Pimps back in the day and they were the hardest things out. I wish I had all of them so I could display them on my wall. I know you guys have been asking if these will be coming to Canada, well guess what they are!
THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT DROPS IN T.O
Nike is celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year for the 10th time, with the highly anticipated drop of the Year of the Rabbit Air Force 1 Low Supreme. With the rabbit motif played out across the shoe, the latest issue in this line brings a white, varsity royal and crimson colored upper to the legendary AF1 profile.
The shoe drops in Canada on February 12th and will be available exclusively at Livestock Toronto
This classic AF1 has unique, light-bone platinum suede panels to create a material contrast on the body — and the clean simplicity of premium white leather is broken up by fierce chenille Swooshes, all capped off by blue waxed cotton laces that compliment the liner.
The rabbit theme is brought to life through a playful decoration on the counter and cushion, plus the Chinese character ‘tu’ (rabbit) on the tongue.
To finish the effect, the year 2011 is embroidered onto the Air Force 1 badge. The result is a sweet piece of footwear that evokes a host of cultural memories for China’s kick off festival.
