First Looks // Air Jordan XX3 “Year of the Rabbit”

Jordan Brand will bring back a fan-favorite signature model for the 2023 Chinese New Year celebrations, with the Air Jordan XX3 “Year of the Rabbit” joining the Air Jordan 1 Low OG for the East-Asian festival.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released back in 2008, the silhouette has seen a sporadic inclusion into the brand’s respective runs — most notably through collaborative efforts. And while this new release doesn’t have an official partnership in place, it does classify as a special-edition drop, as it honors the annual Lunar New Year tradition.

Though it pulls from the hare in name, its design is a far cry from the leporids family’s key features. There’s no fur, no fleece, nor any obvious callouts to the rabbit on the exterior; only the inner tongues sport a rabbit motif. Instead, the pair opts for traditional oriental upgrades, including jade green shroud overlays and toes — both of which come trimmed with gold. Reds decorated the stylized tongue tags and insoles that mimic Lucky Red Envelopes, with the rest fitted out in simple whites throughout.

First and official looks at the Air Jordan XX3 “Year of the Rabbit” have landed, so grab an eyeful of the release here below, and with more details and new looks to follow in the lead-up to its early 2023 release, you’ll want to make sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for updates.
