Nike Raid 2014 Remake

  Nike recently treated sneaker fans to the Air Raid Jungle Gym from 1993 (which we covered here at Sneakerjawns), and now we're getting the 2014 remake.  The Air Raid brand has been building some steam this year with the Air Raid Low, Air Raid Jungle Gym, and Air Raid OG, and notably the Nike Air Max 1 featuring in the Live Together Play Together Pack with a Jungle Gym colorway.  On top of that, the 90s silhouette is getting releases at the beginning of the year with the Air Raid 2014 remake and the Air Raid Ray Guns.  The old silhouette is getting some attention from their makers, that is Nike, to give more variations to the classic style. The Nike Air Raid has much lore to it, designed by Tinker Hatfield as an outdoor counterpart to the Air Jordans, featured in commercials with Spike Lee, hence the Live Together Play Together ethos.  The 2014 Black and White Air Raid is not as colorful as the jungle gym, but style doesn't always come with flare.  Let's ...

Nike Zoom Freak 2 Alphabet

Giannis didn't get a ring in 2020, and his Milwaukee Bucks failed to even reach the NBA Finals. But that hasn't stopped management from offering him the most generous 5-year contract in NBA history. Despite the set back, the Greek Freak will be at it with Milwaukee Bucks for the next five years or more for the ring that has thus eluded them. 

While the 2020/2021 NBA season begins, Nike is releasing the Zoom Freak 2 which has an alphabet pattern. This reminds us of the Nike Zoom Freak Midnight Navy, which featured fun illustrations in the same way. 

Let's take a look at the latest outing from Nike and Giannis. The alphabet letters are the predominant creative design feature of the sneakers, alongside the gigantic red swoosh running across the laterals. This in effect demands attention and is arguably equals the alphabet design in prominence. It establishes design connections by being part of the eye stays and joining to the yellow pull tab on the heel.

The Zoom Freak 2 Alphabet will be available for purchase early 2021, on January 22nd.

Reebok x Braindead

BRAIN DEAD and Reebok are at it again, having worked together on the latter's more experimental shapes for the past three years. Both parties chose the legendary Club C Revenge for their current collaboration. Kyle Ng and Ed Davis have redesigned the shape, which is rooted in tradition. The upper features a fuzzy, moss-like construction that runs the length of the shoe. Throughout the sneaker, deep browns and blues work in combination with shades of green to create an arrangement that resembles overgrown grass and other natural phenomena. The famous logo of Ng and Davis' label is blended with the Reebok Classics emblem, and the term "BRAINDEAD" replaces typical branding on the lateral sidewall. Down below, the latest product from the growing partnership likewise features earth tones, with a muted brown midsole allowing the dark green outsole to stand out even more.  Take a look at the official photographs of the pair below, and look out for a Reebok.com release shortl...
