love the inherent irony and nike’s sophisticated reference to the collapse of soviet communism and the end of the cold war.

all of the kiddies on hypebeast and high snob are probably looking at the colorway. is anyone looking at the historical and social ramifications of the berlin wall?

free market capitalism now spreads to more places…more shops to sell nike sneakers.

[...] Well now isn’t this an intriguing little teaser? If you haven’t guessed we here at KOF are huge Pegasus fans and well this color way hints at something that is more than promising. Commemorating two decades of the Berlin wall being gone chances are these won’t be a stateside release. From what we can make out its a black upper with purple contrast stitching and a swoosh done up to look like a piece of the Berlin wall.

I rotated and flipped the reflection, enhanced the brightness and contrast, and uploaded the picture here: http://bit.ly/3eP5Im

This will give you a good idea of what the final shoe will look like.

You can see the final version of the shoe in its reflection on the shinny black surface.
Looks like a lot of purple near inside heel, upper back area around ankle, laces, stitching, and tip to the toe of the sole. The rest looks to be variants of grey, black, and white. The berlin wall concrete texture appears on the swoosh. Some of the white hits on the shoe could possibly be 3M reflective material.
