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 keeps impressing with their vault of sneaker classics, that they can pull out at any time, and revamp the silhouette. We get them all the time, and that reminds sneaker fans that no sneaker is truly forgotten. The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 will be returning to the sneaker market again. The "structure" line still continues to this day, all the way back to the early 90s.
The Nike Air Zoom structure did depart from the nineties era look with its recent 2013 mesh frame work. Perhaps to make the oldie more appealing. Nike stripped down the "fat" for a skinnier and smoother edition.
The revamped Triax 91 is shinier with a gold and navy blue colorway. Also there are a number of colors that will be available for the model. This release may revive the Nike Air Structure Triax 91, which could mean more follow up models and colorways.
Let's take a look at the official images. Even though there's an even balance in colors with white, gold, grey and blue appearing in seemingly equal dosages, the gold outshines the lot.
The gold shines on the swoosh at the lateral, heel, tongue, although visually less so on the top most eye stays. The other colors act as complimentary partners, notably with the blue and grey bordering the air unit, emphasizing the display.
The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 will be available sometime next year.
