Nikes latest design was inspired by the Year of the Rat, the first of the twelve animals from the Chinese zodiac. The sneakers drop in two colorways which best represent the hideous rodent - The black rat aka street rat features a tumbled suede upper in medium grey, while the white rate aka lab rat is laces in white hair. Both are printed with the Chinese character rat in red, and dropped through selected NIKE accounts. Via Kix-Files.
