The Nike Air Force 1 ‘Year of the Rabbit’ has a somewhat obvious inspiration, but was there any particular reason these ended up looking something like a Jefferson Airplane collabo? Turns out ‘White Rabbit’ is a brand of Chinese creamy candy, and when you click through to see our extensive detailed look courtesy of the fam over at FRESHNESS, you’ll see just how perfectly the shoe matches its inspiration. Everything from the color palette down to one of the coolest packages we’ve seen is taken from the candy, with the shoes shipping in a molded two-piece box that’s shaped just like White Rabbit wrappers. All of these details on a relatively calm design makes for one of the best Chinese New Year sneakers yet, but unfortunately it’s a China-exclusive release (January 23rd for the special edition package and 28th for a wider release). Follow the jump for a better look and let us know what you think of the Year of the Rabbit Air Force 1 Low.

January 12th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
Can you READ the information instead of just looking at the pictures.
January 12th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
If you think something's 'played out', that means you wear what hype tells you too.
January 12th, 2011 at 10:42 pm
out of the topic, but im feening for the candy now lol

January 13th, 2011 at 4:20 am
OMG,, i LOVEEEEE White Rabbit!! im Asian man, so i should know what that is lmfao, love the packaging and the sole the most! but im not feelin the color way.
January 13th, 2011 at 4:58 am
Did, either one of you read the part about ME personally not liking most of them. Or did you just read everything before the comma and comment?
January 13th, 2011 at 5:13 am
You mean converse (chucks). TAYLOR GANG or type in all caps and misspell words while trying to diss someone.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:17 am
Now that was a very dignified response, please tell us what people wear in another state you've never been to
January 13th, 2011 at 7:43 am
these are nice but a $300 price tag? for some air force ones?? man it could be year of the dragon edition for all i care and i still wouldnt pay that price, i could get a pair of true blue 3's and the pewter foamposites wit that money man
January 13th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
white rabbit is the best candy… makes me want some now!
January 13th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
did you not see the +9 you got for your comment before you posted this one? smh. not to mention they didnt say anything about you they just said not many people in cali wear forces. chill cause its true
January 13th, 2011 at 1:09 pm
then do it.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:30 am
I love the kicks, although I am not a huge AF1 fan…..do they really need to go with all the special packaging? Seems like a lot of hype, and an extra $100 for a plastic box. It's all about the shoes!
January 14th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Why is everyone so secretive about websites to buy dope kicks? How about a little brotherly love for other sneaker heads? I found a pre-sale for these. Don't know much about the site, as I have not purchased from here, but have seen them around…..Have at them!
