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.

Rumors move quickly among sneaker fans and sneaker blogs, especially for the elite of silhouettes and colorways. Word of another Dunk Fragment got massive attention at the beginning of the year due to its sheer popularity. Rumors spun for the Original Fragment x Nike High "City Pack," saying this was coming.
That rumor got quickly dispelled with legit leaks and more information on the next Dunk Fragment release. So here's what we're getting: the original colorway with some differences. The rumor mill was close, but they still missed the mark. Of Course, Dunk Fragment fans will look forward to this nod to "City Pack." The differences are quite significant, though.
Designer Hiroshi Fujiwara showed what we could expect of the release by teasing some images. This will hit SNKRS soon. Confirming the leaks, we can see the colorways are both the same for the pair, unlike the contrasting originals. This is the big difference that makes it divert from the original.
Let's look closer at the Dunk Fragment. The black and dark purple colorway blends well together, with the black overlaying the purple and coloring the laces, toe box, and outsoles. Purple colors the laterals and vamp and tongue. White handles the midsoles.
The Dunk Low Fragment "Purple" will be available June 5th via Nike SNKRS at $150.
