🔥 SNEAKER OF THE WEEK 🔥

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 Dunk Low Tropical

 

nike low dunk tropical pair

We're expecting a ton of Dunks this year, and Nike is already starting us off with some notable releases. The Notre Nike Dunk was recently covered here at Sneakerjawns. Nike's latest Dunk news is geared towards a GS size. 

During our Nike Women's Jordan Starfish coverage, we talked about the company's effort to make their brand inclusive, noting their efforts to cater to women and varying sizes. 

The GS or Grade School range is getting limelight with the Nike Dunk Low Tropical. Although the sneakers seem suited to a summer release, the pair does fit the grade school ethos.

Let's take a closer look at the Nike Tropical. The silhouette keeps things simple and relies on the contrasting colors on the laterals to create atmosphere. There's a subtle grey that runs through the sneakers, all the way to the back heel which features an embroided "Nike." 

The highlight of the Nike Dunk Low Tropical are the swooshes, colored light orange and teal on alternating sides. Teal is used only on the tongues and inside branding of the shoes. 

The Nike Dunk Low Tropical should be available soon at Nike.com.
