🔥 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 ...

Air Max 97 "Lebron Lakers"


Lakers colors are making their way onto one of the greatest silhouettes of all time thanks to arguably the greatest basketball player of all time balling for perhaps the greatest basketball team of all time, Los Angeles. We're expecting a truck load of yellow and court purple sneakers in the years to come, granted Lebron doesn't jump ship too soon. 

The iconic Lakers colorway is much more marketable than the power forward's previous teams, so no wonder we're getting Lebron inspired silhouettes that aren't actually Lebrons. The Lakers superstar usually has his name on silhouettes like the Lebron 17 and 11, but this time around the Air Max 97 is the one to bear his achievements. 

Let's take a look at the these kicks. The first thing you will notice is the color switch, the left side is prominently in yellow, and the right side in purple. Its split theme continues with Lebron Jersey number on the lace area and outsoles of the sneakers, 2 on the purple right and 3 on the yellow left. The outsoles and treading feature accolades achieved by the Laker superstar, "4x Champ," "4x Final MVP," "16x All Star," "4x MVP," "3x All Star MVP." 

The Lebron Air Max 95 Lakers will be available on Nike.com March 30th.
