Nike Air Raid Retro (Black/Medium Grey/White)

  By C.Y. Ellis

Model: Nike Air Raid Retro (Black/Medium Grey/White)
Release Date: Spring
Price: $95

What do the early nineties mean to you? Bad music? Worse hair? Semi-short shorts? Well, Nike is hoping to jog your memory with the retro release of the Air Raid, a sneaker with the brawn of Mike Tyson and the looks of, well, Mike Tyson. Still, the shoe makes up for its functional fugliness by being one of the ruggedest pieces of footwear in history. With a chunky, durable sole and "FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY" proudly emblazoned on the heel, the Air Raid is allegedly the only thing capable of surviving a nuclear explosion intact other than cockroaches and my mother’s meatloaf. Ninety-five bones may seem a little steep for a kick with so little to brag about in the looks department, but it’s worth that much for the fact that you’ll need a hip replacement before you need another pair of sneakers for summer hoops.
