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.

BRAIN DEAD and Reebok are at it again, having worked together on the latter's more experimental shapes for the past three years.

The famous logo of Ng and Davis' label is blended with the Reebok Classics emblem, and the term "BRAINDEAD" replaces typical branding on the lateral sidewall. Down below, the latest product from the growing partnership likewise features earth tones, with a muted brown midsole allowing the dark green outsole to stand out even more.
Take a look at the official photographs of the pair below, and look out for a Reebok.com release shortly.
