A Taupe "Year of the Rabbit" Rendition Hits the Nike Dunk Low

Having just entered 2023, Chinese New Year is right around the corner, marking the return of the “Year of the Rabbit.” Celebrating this, Nike has gone all out with a Jordan Brand collection, various “Leap High” colorways across Nike silhouettes and at least four Dunk Lows dressed in the theme. Previously, the Swoosh revealed white and red, blue/red/white and brown/orange/bordeaux colorways of the Dunk Low carrying the theme and just when sneakerheads thought that was it, a taupe presentation has appeared.

Favoring various shades of brown and off-white, yet another rabbit-inspired pair has arrived. Its textured base utilizes darker taupe shades while its leather overlays favor off-white. Soft chenille Swooshes appear in cream at the lateral and golden brown at the medial, the former of which matches the tongue tab. A brown lining is accompanied by a chocolate brown thematic sockliner to offer additional diversity in color. A theme throughout these Dunks, a rabbit motif is embroidered at the lateral heel in taupe while a smoky shoebox sees its rabbit design joined by “2011-2023” text that points to the last “Year of the Rabbit” celebration that took place in 2011.

Still, Nike has yet to announce the launch of its “Year of the Rabbit” Dunks, including this taupe colorway of the shoe. Stay tuned for more details as we anticipate a launch towards the end of the month via the Swoosh.

In other footwear news, a “Rainbow Trout” colorway has also outfitted the Dunk Low, joining a silver pair in equipping the model with fishhook Swooshes.
