Nike Air Pegasus 83 Dames

There are few shoes more steeped in history than the Nike Air Max 1. With its revolutionary visible air unit in its heel providing a step up from the competition, everyone had to have a pair when it made its debut in 1987 (myself and my family included). However, did you know that before Air Max 1, there was another? Meet the Air Max Zero Asics Gel Lyte 5 Womens aka, ‘The one before the 1’ - a trailblazing shoe that was designed in 1985, un-released until 2015 and the very first piece in the Air Max puzzle.
Now available in a range of new season colourways including a striking triple-black launch, it provides both a step back in time and step forward in the style stakes. A pre-concept design to the iconic Air Max 1 by then-developer Mark Parker and Tinker Hatfield, Air Max Zero is more than a mere footnote Adidas Gazelle Femme in the Air Max 1 story having played a key part in its final development. Why then did we need to wait so long to get our hands on a pair? Essentially, because it was way ahead of its time. “Not just in regards to its appearance, but also in terms of the construction it required,” Tinker Hatfield says. “The technology and materials available to us at the time weren’t advanced enough Nike Roshe Run Dames Zwart to execute the original vision.”
However, fast-forward almost three decades later, and a new chapter was ready to be written. Seemingly forgotten Nike Air Max 90 Dames in the Department of Nike Archives, its sketch caught the attention of the Nike Sportswear design team some 30 years down the line when they were searching for ways to celebrate the second annual Air Max Day. Upon updating it with the latest Nike innovations, it was then launched to a modern day audience to provide a covetable piece of Nike history in a range of new season colours, and provide both style and substance in equal measure. Its key design features? While still keeping its distinctive visible Max Air Unit in the heel, its bootie-inspired construction and sock-like breathable textile upper are nods to Tinker’s original concept. When combined with its premium triple black Nike Air Pegasus 83 Donna colourway, lightweight cushioning, sleek silhouette and super comfort, it makes for a style and lifestyle staple of the highest order and a must-have in anyone’s shoe wardrobe if you ask us.
Few trainers are ever actually iconic, despite what marketing departments claim. But the Air Max not only owns that accolade, but also its spot at the head of the sneaker Nike Air Pegasus 89 Donna hall of fame. The Jordan may turn over more money; the Chuck Taylor may be more ubiquitous; but the Air Max is the one every kid begged his mum for.
George Pompidou’s inside out architectural style led Hatfield to think about applying this to the air sole units, which had appeared in a few Nike styles dating back to 1978. By cutting away the foam on the midsole, the air bubble would become, for the first time, visible. The Air Nike Air Max 270 Dames Max was born. The world of trainers changed Nike Air Pegasus 83 Dames forever.
