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.

"Love is in the air" themed shoes are nothing new as Nike as indulged in them for many years. Sneakers are an artform, canvases that are able to convey the feelings of love through romantic colors and illustrations.

Let's take a closer look at the Air Force 1 Rose. It's reminiscent of the "Have A Nike Day" collection released two years ago with some changes, primarily the rose illustration on the midsole. There are two concepts, white uppers with added green to the rose art work, and pink uppers with completely red roses. Both sneakers have the double Nike logos on their tongues and "Have A Nike Day" on the insoles.
The Nike Air Force 1 Rose is scheduled for release on February 25th.
