Nike Raid 2014 Remake

  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.

Kobe 6 Proto "Pop"


Here's a pair of sneakers with a little history starring Kobe Bryant. The Nike Kobe 6 will see more representation with an upcoming "Pop" colorway which debuted in 2011. The simple "Pop" colorway really stands out on the interesting and bumpy Proto design. Let's rewind history for a moment. The "Pop" colorway came out the year Kobe was seeking a three peat for the second time in his career in 2011.

Let's take a closer look at the Kobe 6 Proto "Pop". The colorway comprises of black, yellow and white which all contribute equally to the design aesthetic. White mostly colors the uppers, including the tongue with black making appearances on the Nike swoosh, top of the tongue and heel, and yellow having dominance on the collar lining and inner part of the shoe. 

The white and black upper has a pronounced scaly texture in imitation of snakes. Black dominates the midsole while yellow takes up residence on forefoot outsole and white on the heel outsole. 

The Kobe 6 Proto "Pop" will release in Asia on April 16th, and release dates in other parts of the world have not been given as yet.
