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 ...
The timeless Air Force 1 is getting all flowered up for a dazzling release. The silhouette has been on the forefront of sneaker news for a long time, holding its own against other giants in the game and new incoming rivals. It doesn't have to do much to get support from the fanbase. The design is one of the most popular ever released. The "Air" sneakers have gotten so many color variations it deserves a documentary.
There's not much Nike designers can do to push the shock factor but we have gotten creative endeavors like the 8-Bit, Shadow, Wagyu Beef variants which has put the sneakers in the "I can't believe they did that" category.
Although this latest release has a romantic vibe and minimalistic factor, it's still a fresh and lovely take on the Nike classic.
Lets take a closer look at the Nike Air Force 1 Indigo. It's a lovely combination of color contrast, white upper canvas, large blue swooshes, and brown dazzling outsoles, embroidered indigos near the heel. The odd combination of colors really add depth and beauty to the look.
There's some complimentary wording near the embroidered indigo, and above the cork heel counter. The Nike Air Force 1 Indigo will be available for purchase soon at Nike.com and partner retailers.
