Nike Air Force 8-Bit

 


Graphics are now part of Nike's Air Force 1 silhouette and the gamer in us likes this a lot. The retro 8-bit look is nothing new to us, as we've been seeing the trend grow in recent years. 8-bit graphics invented in 1983 refuses to die, and with the influx of indie game developers preferring this art style it's become more of the norm than something extremely old. To think of it, all next gen games come from the lineage of the simple bit. It's a timeless art form and perfect for retro themed sneakers.

Pixels look super satisfying on the air force 1.  In honor of the 8-bit era, the art style will take up residence on the Nike swoosh. Let's take a closer look at the soon to be released Nike Air Force 1 8 bit. 

Nike's shadow variant of the Air Force 1 benefits from the pixelized swoosh. That's the first thing you will notice about these sneakers, the big 8-bit swoosh. As seen in the official images, the retro look is established using a layering technique, imitating pixels with the outside of the swoosh having jagged edges, accented by embroidery. 

The alternate side of the sneakers has a traditionally one colored swoosh with a smooth outline. This color is the same as the one in the collar. This Air Force 1 shadow variant is predominantly black so the brighter colors pop. Its tongues have doubled logos in a style reminiscent of the 8-bit era. 

The Air Force 1 8-bit will be available soon.

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 ...
