Celebrating 20 years of German youth culture, this Nike Air Pegasus 89, named the “Berlin,” has been revealed after the sneak peek we got recently. Done up in shades of grey and black with hints of purple, the Swoosh draws inspiration from one of the most important moments in world history. The splattered white, grey and black Swoosh is a direct interpretation of the broken concrete of the Berlin Wall after German citizens took to bringing it down. We saw New Balance pay tribute to the same moment in history with a three-shoe pack, but these actually read “Berlin ’89” on the heel tab. It’s no coincidence that this old school sneaker was chosen for this tribute, given its initial release year. Click here for the pics. |
