Nike Air Raid “Raygun” Releases Jan. 15th

Originally surfacing on the SB Dunk back in 2005, the theme is a reference to a fictional 1970s ABA franchise imagined by a 2002 Nike ad campaign, the Roswell Rayguns, is one of the brand’s most memorable mock-ups alongside Charlie Murphy’s Leroy Smith, and Michael Jordan’s Johnny Kilroy. It has since gone on to serve many custom creps, but also official releases from Nike. More recently, 2018 saw a very limited “Raygun” Kyrie 3 in reference to the All-Stars interest in skating, and back in December 2019, Nike released two tie-dyed sequels to the original “Raygun” SB Dunks that served as a tribute to the late Nike SB Godfather Sandy Bodecker. Now, barely a year on from that pack comes another, with this Nike Air Raid “Raygun” (GS Pictured) joining the previously-previewed Air Force 1 Low and Kyrie 7 for release this Fall.

Much like the pack’s other inclusions, the Air Raid brings its own flavor to the theme with striking golden yellow mesh and nubucks peering through the jet blacks of the overlays. The silhouette’s famed lockdown straps show up in a startling orange, yet the most popping aspect is the snekaer’s use of stark whites at the laces and midsoles. Capping off the design is an all-black rubber outsole, star-detailed rear pulls, Rayguns-branded insoles, and Nike’s Alien Hoops motif at the tongue.

Though a release date for the pair is yet to be confirmed, the appearance of the official images does indicate a proximal release. Until further news arrives, grab a full look at the gallery here below, and be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
