Continuing the celebration of the Lunar Year of the Rabbit, Jordan has revealed its latest cartoon rabbit-inspired sneakers called the Air Jordan 1 Low 'Rabbit.' The sneakers are inspired by Looney Tunes character Bugs Bunny who has been linked with basketball brand since his appearance in the Space Jam movie starring Michael Jordan.
The sneakers feature white leather uppers, gray faux fur overlays, and suede. They also have white perforated toe boxes, a lacing system, and midsoles. The Nike logo branding on the lateral sides is orange, and a green stem is featured on the heel to make a carrot shape. The carrot is a nod to Bugs Bunny's signature carrot. Additionally, the sneakers come in green rubber soles and will be available in the coming months.
