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.

Paint splatter is in, well, we're not sure so don't go upgrading your wardrobe and trying DIY on your shirts. Nike certainly thinks the paint splatter look on their Blazer Low '77 sneakers will get fans to fork over the cash. And they're so confident that they're releasing an entire collection featuring the paint splatter effect.
As one of the stars in this pack the Nike Blazer Low '77 resembles another coming release, the Blazer Mid '77 Slogans, which features graphitti-like marking and airbrush paint textures at the mid soles. We will be covering that release too so check it out at Sneakerjawns.
Let's take a closer look at the Blazer Low 77 Splatter. Staying true to it's theme the sneakers have multi colored splats all over them but this isn't a random splat fest as some areas of the sneakers remain squeaky clean like the midsoles and lace area.
The laces are white and splat free along with the tongue. The rest of the white shoe has splats of color except the heel tab which features "Nike" made of scribbled lines on a black layer. Unlike the black swoosh on the laterals the insoles and the tongue feature an orange swoosh. The Nike Blazer Low Mid is scheduled for release sometime this year from Nike.
