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 outsole colors flow throughout the uppers of the shoe. Light Blue in particular is on the vamp, and borders the eye stays.
The large Nike swoosh flaunts a darker embroidered blue. Where the swoosh stays and part of the heel features a muted grey color. The laces are black like in the outsole, also the tongue, which features Kyrie Irving branding in blue and yellow, the yellow bordering the blue lettering.
All this harmonizes with the abstract outsole which is beneath a plain white midsole. The Kyrie Low 4 Yellow Abstract should be available for purchase soon at Nike.com and select retailers.
