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. The 2014 Black and White Air Raid is not as colorful as the jungle gym, but style doesn't always come with flare. Let's ...
Black and white looks so good on the Jordan Zion 1. The color makes great use of the simple color palette. Sometimes we see sneakers trying the black and white scheme, and producing bland and uninspiring designs, almost like a placeholder for later colored releases. The Jordan Zion 1's black and white sells the color scheme, thanks of course to an amazing silhouette. The Zion Williamson Jordan aka the Z-code had the rumor mill turning in September 2020, and now we have got confirmation and pictures of this summer time launch.
Let's take a closer look at the Jordan Zion 1 and see what's going on. A zig zag pattern runs throughout the shoes with black and white playing a role. The forefoot to the mid laterals feature a two toned black with mesh material that also plays along with the zig zag theme. White colors the second half of the shoe going to the back heel.
At the collar and collar lining black zigs and zags are printed on a white background. It's not all black and white as a gold jumpman features on the tongue and on the vamp. The outsoles feature translucent blue partnered with solid white.
The Zion Jordan 1 Black and White will likely launch via Nike this summer.
