The Nike Blazer Mid “CNY” Honors the Year of the Rabbit

Select Model

From fireworks to the Lion Dance, China sure knows how to bring color and celebration to the annual Lunar New Year festivities. So it should come as no surprise that footwear brands look to work in many of these colorful elements when it comes to their annual Chinese New Year footwear collections. Already we’ve seen three Dunk Lows dedicated to this year’s celebratory animal, the rabbit, as well as a slew of multi-color, multi-Swooshed releases that serve as a secondary collection. A third piece of the puzzle has recently enamored us all — often dubbed the. “Leap High” collection — with a mix of traditional Chinese detail and subtle nods to the leporids family. This time its the Nike Blazer Mid “CNY” that honors the Year of the Rabbit, with furry tongues and heel panels joining pure white leather uppers and pink Swooshes that mimic the bunny’s appearance. Add to that traditional red accents along the liners, eyestays, and insoles, and traditional floral embroidery on the profile, and it’s easy to see the pair’s inspiration.
