The Nike Air Raid and Nike Air Force 1 are both considered classic sneakers in their own rights. After constant deliberation on when the first ever outdoor basketball sneaker was going to release in its original ‘Peace’ color way that seems to be answered.
Nike Store has provided release details for this upcoming return of the Nike Air Raid ‘Peace’ but they won’t be alone. Accompanying the Air Raid will be the Nike Air Force 1 but it doesn’t stop there, the new trend with releases now seems to be matching Nike Elite socks as well. So when you have two sneakers and a sock releasing you get this Nike Air ‘Peace’ Collection.
The Nike Air Collection celebrates the significance of Nike’s first-ever outdoor basketball sneaker, the Air Raid, by returning it alongside a complementary Air Force 1. Fueled by the golden age of street basketball, both designs draw inspiration from the campaign that catapulted the Swoosh to the forefront of hoops culture.
Originally released alongside the slogan – “Live Together. Play Together.” – the battle-tested Air Raid returns with a fitting combination of colors to honor its heritage. The design’s rugged silhouette has been accented in multicolored graphics so you can raise your game, and simultaneously, increase the peace. Over two decades since its debut, the Air Raid’s legacy lives on in the streets, representing an era of bold statements and equally bold aesthetic choices.
Additionally, the collection includes an Air Force 1, equipped with a black nubuck upper and matching graphic accents to symbolize the push for peace that forever changed the game.
