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.

Sneaker fans can attest to the timelessness of Air Force 1s. They keep buying em'. During this month Sneakerjawns will be covering numerous Air Force 1 releases, in fact we're drowning in them. Nike has kept the Air Force 1 factory running non stop, and we're trying to keep up. No worries, this is a sneaker blog and we're up to Nike's challenge.
The tie dye effect isn't that new as Nike has used it for block busters like the Air Max 97 Golf and other sneaker companies have exploited the groovy effect very much. There's a lot of variations and colors you can get with a tie dye effect as shown in the Nike Air Force 1 Tie Dye.
Let's take a closer look at these sneakers. It's not as colorful as other tie dye sneakers with a trio of colors adorning the upper, running from grey at the toe, red at the middle at yellow at the heel.
At the toe, there are white and lighter grey crinkles adding to a distressed effect. The middle is a solid red. At the counter and heel, dark markings give a tie dye look to the yellow coloring.
The Nike Air Force 1 Tri Tie Dye will be launching soon at Nike.com.
