Nike Air Force 1 Supreme “Year of the Rabbit” Further Look
January 12, 2011 ⋅ Style ⋅ by Eugene Kan ⋅ 162 Views

Following up on our recent coverage of this year’s 2011 Year of the Rabbit Air Force 1 Supreme comes a more in-depth look into the commemorative sneaker. A look at the exclusive packaging links some of the design executions with the inspirations for the sneaker. Together with an interesting material contrast, candy shaped packaging and printed packaging paper makes for one of the more memorable Year of the… releases over the course of the sneaker’s last few releases.

The Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Year of the Rabbit will release with the special packaging seen here on January 23, 2011 with a suggested retail price of ¥2,599 RMB (approximately $393 USD). In addition to showcasing the highlight of this year, a retrospective exhibition involving all the previous Year of the… sneakers was also put on display at the recent Nike Sportswear Spring/Summer 2011 exhibition in Shanghai.

    As a Rabbit myself, I can say they did a pretty good job(compared to other Nikes lately) I’m impressed.
