Nike pays attention to the trends and quickly pivots when it notices a swing in a specific direction. As we all know, mesh runners have become the go-to for many sneakerheads, with The Swoosh pulling out pairs from the archives and introducing new variants of this sneaker style over the last year. In a modern update to the Air Pegasus 2K5, Nike brought forth the Air Pegasus Wave earlier in 2024, with the latest colorway on the model taking inspiration from New Orleans.
Alongside this Pegasus Wave, Nike is also paying homage to NOLA through an upcoming Dunk Low release. However, the two pairs are very different in color palette and inspiration. The Dunk took inspiration from the French Quarter, one of the city's most well-known districts, while this Pegasus Wave takes its inspiration from brass instruments, a key part of the jazz music the city is historically known for.
