Chinese New Year, aka Lunar New Year, is just around the corner in 2023, so expect a bunch of sneaker companies to cash in on the millennia-old celebration with a slew of thematic releases. For , they’re actually revisiting an old concept on a new pair of as the Year of the Rabbit approaches once again.
For anyone that’s been in the game for a while, they’ll recognise these white, blue and red Dunks channelling the same layout as the YOTR from 2011. That pair was a fairly limited release, complete with plenty of premium details and even a small batch that shipped in custom White Rabbit candy-inspired packaging.
As 12 years have rolled around, it’s time to revisit the rabbit. These Dunks do a good job of replicating the AF-1 but rejig some proportions due to the different panelling.

As CNY is in January 2023, expect these Dunks to hit Nike retailers within weeks.
