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 ...
The Lebron 18 is getting another paint job, well a paint job of various colors. If you haven't check out the in depth article we did on the Lebron 17 "Monstars."
In the sneaker world, multicolors are a simple way to add variety to silhouettes without major design tweaks. We often see that sneaker brands have their own way of approaching multicolors on each silhouette.
Like the Air Max 2090 Future we just covered, the multicor is primarily at the midsole. The Lebron James 18's multicolor is on almost the entire sneaker's upper. Also the multicolor is not as pronounced from a glance, but upon closer inspection you see the colored specks that make up the upper of these famed sneakers. It's a different approach that goes well for the Lebron 18 silhouette.
Now let's take a look at these kicks. Lebron 18s are known to push the boundaries of design with often exotic and "out there" creations. Also the prime knit uppers make for some truly creative concepts.
In this multicolored variation, purple is chosen as the dominant color with the other colors acting as compliments. The purple mulicolored upper is contrasted by a black heel and orange air unit. There's also a touch of orange in the tongue, which all works well with the purple.
The Lebron 18 Multicolor will be available on January 15th at a retail price of $200.
