If you ever wanted to see a case study in how important colorblocking is to a sneaker’s finished look, here you go. The Air Jordan VII ‘Year of the Rabbit’ has kept sneakerheads buzzing about Chinese New Year long after the February holiday thanks to a sick white/grey base with red and gold accents that has more than a passing resemblance to the OG ‘Hare’ AJ7. And in these new side-by-side comparison images, you can see just how the Hares’ bright accent shades make for a totally different result, their jagged tongue graphics a strong reminder of early ’90s aesthetics. But which pair is better to you? Click through to see more images from JordansDaily and let us know which is your favorite. If you missed your chance during the Saturday release, grab a YOTR Air Jordan VII Retro now on eBay.

The Hare 7s are waaaaaay better.
May 9th, 2011 at 9:03 pm
barely any differences, but hares are still better in my opinion,
May 9th, 2011 at 9:03 pm

I'll take the hares ASAP!!
May 9th, 2011 at 9:06 pm
Them hares is the truth!!
May 9th, 2011 at 9:07 pm

May 9th, 2011 at 9:07 pm

May 9th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
Same shit…!
May 9th, 2011 at 9:13 pm

May 9th, 2011 at 9:14 pm

May 9th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
The OG AJ VII "Hare" are my favorite.
May 9th, 2011 at 9:17 pm

May 9th, 2011 at 9:20 pm
The Hares KILL the YOTRs
May 9th, 2011 at 9:21 pm
They both look good, but I'd have to go with the hares
May 9th, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Nice
May 9th, 2011 at 9:22 pm

May 9th, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Hares > Rabbits
May 9th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
i still want the Hares
May 9th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Not even close hares easily over yotr, wouldn't be a yotr if their wasn't a hare 7s a classic shoe.
May 9th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
I like how the leather on the hares look whiter, considering its a way older shoe. Jordan brand fuck off with your synthetic leather bullshit. Only reason i didnt get these.
May 9th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
no comparison, hares shit on dem yotr
May 9th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
ALL YOU CATS ARE SMOKIN ROCKS!!! THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT'S ARE KILLIN IT. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN A BIN 23!!! HARES ARE SICK. BUT THE YOTR'S MF'IN TOO SERIOUS. STRAIGHT UP REGAL.
May 9th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
If you're a size 11, 12, or 14 you're in luck: http://www.flightclubny.com/p.php?fc=ny&c=aj&…

Penis > Pussy
May 9th, 2011 at 9:45 pm
The Hares take it..without a doubt. They are too tough
May 9th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
i rather have the Hare 7s but there's nothing wrong wit the YOTRs
May 9th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Hares all day
May 9th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
rabbits but i will take both
May 9th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Ill take the hares just because I like the shape of them better. I hate that JB changes models so that they look and fit slightly different. New 7s dont are as well designed as previous (as with all AJs)
May 9th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Hares win no doubt… the color combination on rabit s just aint working right
May 9th, 2011 at 10:19 pm
Both Dope Shoes , Lucky enough to Get a pair of the YOTRs, missed out on the Hares , with that said Id prob trade in the Rabbits for the Hares
May 9th, 2011 at 10:20 pm
Love both of these, but… Bordeaux's all day
May 9th, 2011 at 10:22 pm
your the one smoking hard, rabbit's are sh*t compared to hares not even on the same level it's like comparing whoopi to beyonce.
May 9th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
that green is the dopest green
May 9th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
the fuck man
May 9th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
The Hares all day every day. The only thing that the YOTR has over the Hares is the Mother Fk'ing box thats it. Fools paying $400+ for the YOTR or lets say a nice ass box on ebay Lmao go slap y'all selves. I own both pair but you have to be crazy as hell to drop 3 or 4 bills for the YOTR
May 9th, 2011 at 11:09 pm
lmao are you joking?
May 9th, 2011 at 11:56 pm
I wear the Hares and stock the Rabbit…
May 9th, 2011 at 11:58 pm
yotr>hares, the gold sets it off clean
May 10th, 2011 at 12:05 am
own both pairs. i did my own comparin and i hate how recent 7s been lookin shape wise. too fat and flat on the front. shits look and feel like damn boots now smh. Hares take the cake easy.
May 10th, 2011 at 12:16 am
Hares got more flare IMO…. they're both straight, but for a steep price of the rabbits, eh the Hares win it for me.
May 10th, 2011 at 1:01 am
if you're picking the hares over YOTR, you're just jealous cuz you couldn't cop….
May 10th, 2011 at 1:46 am
i like em both
May 10th, 2011 at 2:39 am
Damn
May 10th, 2011 at 2:46 am
this is dumb, the OG 7s was never release during year of the Rabbit..
May 10th, 2011 at 7:18 am
The Hares go much harder. Still have mine in the box unworn
May 10th, 2011 at 8:10 am
Almost all 7's are wack… YOTR is the only respectable colorway out there.
May 10th, 2011 at 9:22 am
I've ALWAYS loved the AJ 7's. To me, they are one of truest basketball shoes ever made. But if there is ONE colorway that should….nay, MUST make a comeback, it's the RAPTORS. The all-black cw is what the 7's are all about and I do not think there is a sneakerhead out there that can argue about the impact that cw has on this particular model. You want proof? Look at how amazingly fast the Bordeauxs sold out. In Philadelphia, one store sold out in 12 minutes. 12 MINUTES!!! Now that's nostalgia, people. SO, let's tell JB to give us a REAL present this Christmas…BRING BACK THE RAPTORS…..PLEASE!!!!!
May 10th, 2011 at 9:46 am
Gold laces on the same shoe is enough to make anyone jealous — you right …. kill yourself, come back to life, then kill yourself again.
May 10th, 2011 at 10:34 am
i got both pair & i really like da new laces & gold accents on da YOTR… But Da Hares are a CLASSIC… so they win hands down… but im happy i got da chance to cop both of them
May 10th, 2011 at 11:05 am
PREACH
May 10th, 2011 at 11:42 am
raptors suck booty
May 10th, 2011 at 11:58 am
the YOTR & hares are the same lets keep it real stop compareing it no shoe is ever the same dumb fucks the YOTR is just the hares inna newer verison
May 10th, 2011 at 12:05 pm
Stop it I like this one better no this one same sneaker stop the madness
May 10th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
I like both, I think both nice but hares look lil better because of the colors on the tongue. YOTR should have had a red, gold, grey and white tongue they would have been hotter. but i still copped.
May 10th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Hares all day son
already have 2011 yotr
May 10th, 2011 at 2:48 pm
Hares Of Course, Year Of Rabbits Is No Competition !
May 10th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
I got a fresh pair of cdp hare 7's in a 9.5 straight Ds let me know who trying to buy em
May 10th, 2011 at 4:01 pm
well said
May 10th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
wtf
May 10th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
They're not raptors. They're bulls or Bred 7s. I go by OG names.
They dropped in 92. Raptors werent established till 95. Get me ?
May 10th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
JB is slackin with the new 7s. The ankle supports are way shorter & fatter
May 10th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
HARES no doubt…. a hare is naturally better than a rabbit…..
May 10th, 2011 at 4:19 pm
u smoke too much bro
May 10th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Why are all the 2011 7s shorter that previous 7s
May 10th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
I love them both regardless! got them YOTR! Looking for Hares size 11
May 10th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Bordeaux sold like booty. My store had them for a good 3 days then got rid of the last 13. finishline.com reuped on the bordeaux 3 times!
May 10th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
man we gotta stop the resellers if no one buys from resellers they have no choce but to resell em for the most 25 bucks over retail LETS STOP RESELLERS
May 10th, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Bodeen, fam.
May 11th, 2011 at 7:14 am
The 7's are just fake a$$ 6's!!!
Silly rabbit, them kicks are for kids.
Literally, Bugs bunny, space jam, c'mon, when they came out grown ass men did not wear these.
LoL
May 11th, 2011 at 9:00 am
Both are nice shoes. I'm lucky enough to own both. It sounds dumb when u attack someone because they like the rabbits & u like the hares or vice versa. Why should I be pissed off at the fact that you like one pair of shoes & I like another??? BTW, the people that hate the yotr the most are the ones that would have copped'em but they couldn't
May 11th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
got my 3 pairs of yotr but still like the hares
May 13th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
Nice!!
*Fabulous Voice*
May 14th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
Do the year of the rabbit come in small sizes .
May 15th, 2011 at 3:37 am
Grown ass men don't say lol. Silly Faggot 7s were the new an improved 6. No visible air unit! Second chip. Gold medal. Un deniable swag!!
And the hares are crack. The rabbits are wack.
May 15th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Can't go wrong with either. Hares beat out the YOTRs though.
May 17th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
