Nike has an esteemed history of refreshing classic designs, blending past hits' nostalgia with the present's modern nuances. While the footwear giant often revisits its archives, breathing new life into forgotten legends, it also excels in repurposing classics, creating ripples in the sneaker world. As the Nike Air Pegasus 2K5 re-emerges in 2024, Nike has also prepped a revamped version of the model with the Pegasus Wave.
The Nike Air Pegasus Wave builds on the foundation of its predecessor but with subtle and impactful modifications. While it retains the robust performance attributes of the Air Pegasus 2K5, Nike has seamlessly infused it with contemporary features. A striking TPU overlay on the midfoot ensures a distinctive visual impact, while a new mesh pattern on the base offers enhanced breathability. Branding gets a stylish refresh, too, with novel designs gracing the tongue and heel. What's particularly intriguing is the hidden stash pocket on the interior, a subtle nod to the rave culture that embraced models like the Peg 2K5. As for the undercarriage, it's a familiar yet ever-reliable setup – the full-length Air unit cushioned comfortably within a foam midsole ensures optimal support and comfort.
The Nike Air Pegasus Wave Light Lemon Twist will release on November 8, 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is $160.
