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 Nike Air Force 1 shadow will have a sweeter counterpart releasing in the coming months, likely summer.

And the latest Air Force 1 iteration is not so bad, but it's sweetness and colors is further highlighted after following the release of Air Force Shadow.
Let's take at look at the Air Force 1 Pastel. The uppers are a lighthearted take on the design with light blue, light crimson and white working in unison. The swoosh, like the Shadow variant is doubled, with a light crimson swoosh sewn upon a light blue tinted swoosh. Like the previous shadow variant there are two "Air" labeling near the heel.
You might have to wait awhile for these to release, likely to launch about summer time.
