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.

Unlike that one, this one features all solid colors that scale to black.
At the toe its light grey, while the middle is a darker grey and a black counter and heel finishes the end. The bright red logo on the black tongue nicely contrasts with the grey and black colors. The Nike Air Force 1 Tri Block is set for launch soon at Nike.com.
