The Nike Air Raid was a reactionary sneaker, a demand placed on Tinker Hatfield and his team back in the early 1990s when Nike realized they needed a response to Reebok’s outdoor court shoes. What they came up with was this flat-footed X-ed out shoe, which made its debut in 1992. The strapped silhouette is coming back for 2014 and we can only assume its return is imminent given that online retailers overseas are starting to fill pre-orders for them. Take a look at another colorway for the 2014 Air Raid incarnation below and then lock yours down early from End if you’re feeling antsy.
