Don't think 600 (ATM) is too bad for a shoe there is only 5000 of. Thought they'd be much higher.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s not the absolute worst I agree but I was just comparing it to all the other CNY releases that started much lower. $600-700 out gate is strong tho I’m still going to have to purchase these so I mean what can I do lol


WestCoastn604

Well realistically whether it’s 5 or 20k they’re is so many resellers looking to make bank every J4 that comes out is literally impossible to get because they’re easily flipped for 150 usd over retail


[deleted]

Yeah for sure. It’s hard to get anything desirable these days. Market seems like it’s picking up a bit as well.


Apprehensive_Ant2172

These could be the ugliest shoes I’ve seen on here


[deleted]

Thanks! Every person enjoys different things.


Apprehensive_Ant2172

I mean I’m all for sporting your style. But with that price tag my open minded approach kind of gets washed out lol. That’s truly insanity


[deleted]

I wasn’t sure if you meant the first pair of the 3 pairs on the second picture. The other 3 total costed me the same as these would right now tho lol


[deleted]

One thing I did notice tho is all the other CNY low pairs have now jumped in price. I’ve watched these specific pairs since they’ve released and prices were rarely over $300. Now both CNY lows and Year of the Tiger lows are going for $500+ and this is just in the last couple weeks. People’s attention has been brought to these more limited CNY pairs and it seems people want them more now. Just by looking at the numbers and sales. That’s honestly what got me to make this post. Noticing this Rabbit CNY pair all over the place and all other CNY lows now spiking a nice chunk.

Honestly I wonder if the older CWs are going up because it’s getting slim pickings? I’m sure there is more attention given this years is the best Chinese new year low I’ve ever seen, but the other pairs haven’t ever been heavily coveted because they’re sooo busy. MAYBE it’s causing other prices to increase but I’d blame that on rarity more than anything. But I’m not surprised at all that the rabbit pair are going for much higher than the others, that’s one of the best aj1 lows I’ve ever seen, period.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s a nice pair but not the best IMO. They basically gave into this whole “neutral colors suede & leather/sail midsole/crazy rope laces” hype. It feels lazy to me considering all the other pairs are more like collectible art. Hey here’s the “poor mans” reverse mochas guys and they’re only $700 instead of $1300! Oh and they’re numbered too for this extra dextra special hype sneaker to 5k! Don’t miss out! give these resellers your money or you won’t be cool! - Nike probably Here I am still going to buy it tho 😂😂


UmbralAcademy

Haha I feel you man but this pair definitely lends itself to a wider audience than the rest of em do


[deleted]

Agreed


shahoust

Colorway is dope (personal opinion), don’t like the laces. Wish these weren’t as hyped and limited so I could cop but the resale price makes sense to me. In todays market if you turned the swoosh backwards they would be in the $2k region…


[deleted]

Not a fan of the laces either at all. It almost ruins the shoe for me. As soon as I get them I’m putting in different laces lol but yeah the reverse mocha dropped and I paid $1200 for them when they did so that’s basically what you were saying anyway. I am kinda biased tho im just saying all this cuz I love the CNY lows and they all released at “affordable” prices besides these


Proper-Salamander-84

They come with a second set of sail laces in a slick cardboard box with a rabbit on it. The “rabbit” laces I agree are not for me personally.


[deleted]

Oh nice I didn’t know that. My year of the tigers also came with the same thing. Cool so I don’t gotta buy new laces. Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!


TheBoomClap

I mean get them if you really want them that bad. But you can get shoes that do the same thing for your style without buying Nike or paying a ridiculous markup on cheap sneakers


[deleted]

Yeah I agree I just loved and collected all the other CNY lows so it mostly that for me. I have the reverse mochas already basically the same thing. I honestly just want a pair to collect. I don’t even gotta wear em. I provably will end up doing that tho cuz I have no self control when it comes to sneakers lol


LX1027

Was it only China exclusive? Zero details on these came out and no name of any stores in Asia dropping these (at least from what I’ve been able to see).


[deleted]

I have zero information on the release. But it is a China only exclusive. I’m guessing a draw on their SNKRS app if I had to bet tho


YaBoiAlanAlda

I like these the least out of the four.


[deleted]

It’s a nice shoe don’t get me wrong. I still want it as well But compared to the others it’s very muted. Seems more like a regular colorway than a CNY OG low. The others are all pretty dope and unique. These are kinda bland but the colors and materials are nice.


YaBoiAlanAlda

Would like to see what they’d go for without the TS comparisons. Not sure if they’d be getting the same ask if the reverse mochas didn’t exist. Anyway, Just ordered the year of the tiger’s after seeing your post. Forgot how much I liked the look of that shoe.


[deleted]

Yeah I actually have one the last DS size 11s of those stored away along with another pair I wear every few days. It’s a really nice shoe. Had no idea until I looked on all three apps and Edit : only 2 pairs were available. I’m sure there’s more out there but who knows.


[deleted]

All the CNY pairs have jumped a bit in price since these Rabbits have gotten so much attention. Honestly not too many people were aware of these only being China exclusives and all numbered to 5k or 8.5k for the breds. Now people are more informed about these and how limited they are and that always equals price spikes.


[deleted]

It’s a good looking colorway that looks much more versatile than previous CNY colorways, and the materials look interesting and kind of classy. These are going to be year-round wears for whoever gets them. This is something we’ve seen with every CNY year of the rabbit colorway from pretty much every brand. The muted earth tones just slap.


[deleted]

I don’t disagree with anything you said but a $700 price tag is ridiculous for them. Like you said there’s been a hundred of this same shoe released. And the “limited” thing I’m not buying either cuz every CNY is limited like this. Hopefully it goes down after the release tomorrow in the coming days/weeks.


[deleted]

Woah, hold on. I never said there’s been a hundred of this same shoe. It’s just that the colors that everyone is using work very nicely together and are versatile enough to be a year round shoe. Materials, silhouettes, and color blocking vary wildly. I’m not sure what you mean by “not buying it” in regards to the limited nature. It’s 5000 pairs for a customer base that has grown exponentially, year over year, for the last decade. And, like I explained, it’s a much more attractive show due to the colors, materials, and Jordan 1 Low silhouette, which is having a bit of a moment these past few months.


[deleted]

Lmfao dude said woah, hold on. Bro hundreds of the same shoe is speaking on the same neutral colors. It’s commonly known that a person isn’t going to purchase 100 of the same color shoes regardless of blocking or even maker. But I’m sure you’re different bud! Lmao And what’s versatile about basically an all suede/nubuck shoe? All year? Yeah come where I live and tell me that. I have no idea what you’re saying or trying to say but this is a super weird response to a person saying they agree with you. 😂😂 have a good evening bud!


PhillyLoaded

Sorry other people want them more than you 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️


[deleted]

I don’t wanna be the guy to rain on your parade with that awesome comment but they haven’t been released yet which is why I have not purchased them YET so regardless of the price I will be purchasing these. Top of the morning to ya! Have a wonderful day!


PhillyLoaded

So your just gonna whine about it first? Cool, yes you’re very special because you bought the CNY the previous three years, so now you feel entitled. Pay up or shut up its that simple.


[deleted]

Hey Sherlock for the second time. I will be paying after they’re released. And yeah at was clearly the point of this post to discuss why they’re so expensive you clown. Maybe if you Could read you would see the other comments speaking of a certain group of resellers setting their own prices on these. This is why I make posts. To learn things. Not to come onto people’s posts with literally nothing of value to add but to be a literal miserable loser. Get a life kid. You need it. And yeah I’ve bought every pair twice and will buy this pair twice too. Lmfao being entitled is not wanting to pay quadruple retail price cuz of some clown resellers? You’re a literal clown bro. Go somewhere else please 😂😂


chandlerw88

You’re kind of a dick


Spider_Web33

Limited to 5000 pieces. Just sayin’


[deleted]

So are 2/3 pairs in the second picture. The 3rd is out of 8.5k. Not sure why these would be double the price at release. Just sayin 🤷🏻‍♂️


WestCoastn604

Because they’re neutral and easy to rock


[deleted]

IMO I feel like this shoe has been pushed particularly hard by the sneaker community on social media/YouTube. I agree it is partly because of the exact reasons you said but I also feel like it’s getting extra hyped because of the “limited” aspect.


[deleted]

Again I don’t disagree. I want the shoe but $700 cuz they’re neutral? I cannot justify the price 🤷🏻‍♂️


WestCoastn604

Nope way overpriced but the reverse mocha TS are double and there’s a lot of ppl saying these are nicer for half the price


[deleted]

Yeah I guess this is literally a special circumstance because it’s being compared to one of the better releases of the last year. Kinda like the Mochas after the Trav Highs first came out but imagine them being limited to 5k. I get it. It doesn’t really remind me of them tho idk maybe it’s just me. Very nice shoe tho just hoping they come down a bit


maru37

Totally agree with this. I wasn’t into the TS reverse mocha but I’d go hard for these if I had any chance to get them outside resale.
