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.

Let's take a closer look at the Air Jordan 1 Women's Black and White. At first glance, there's an undeniable unison in the minimal color scheme with the black and white seemingly taking up equal spacing on the sneakers.
Black takes up residence on the perforated part of the toe box while white owns the rest. On the laterals a white Nike swoosh appears on black laterals. There's a black jump-woman on the white tongue, with white laces going down featuring a black 23 on white lace catch. At the heel the Air Jordan logo is embroidered all in white.
This Air Jordan 1 Women's Black and White should available at Nike.com soon.
