The Nike Nike Pegasus 32 Girls is back and we couldn't be happier. Because what's better than one AirPad in the midsole? That's right, two AirPads in the midsole. And that's exactly what the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls is the only one in the Air Max series to feature. More than 25 years after its release, the AM95 exudes a heavy dose of 90s vibes and surprises again and again with exciting colorways!
Nike Nike Pegasus 32 Girls – Behind the Design
In the 90s basketball shoes dominated the sneaker world. Nike's main focus was especially on the Air Jordan brand. In an effort to revive the glory days of Nike's running division, the brand wanted to deviate from the typical Air Max look with the Swoosh and approach the design process from a new perspective. For this project, they hired ACG designer Sergio Lozano. With the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls, Lozano wanted to recapture the public's attention for the performance running category.

Air Max father Tinker Hatfield asked Lozano after his initial sketches, "Okay, this is a great design, but what's your story?" Inspiration for the 95 came to him on a Oney day at Nike hydrogen in Beaverton, Oregon: "I looked out over the lake at the trees and started imagining the process of One eroding the earth." He took further influence from the anatomy of the human body, where the shapes of human muscles and whirls were incorporated into the design. The curved midsole represents the human spine. Different layers of the upper represent tissue and muscles, while the lacing system represents the ribs. The first prototype had no Swoosh logo at all. After some back and forth, the minimal branding was eventually incorporated, with an unconventional placement at the back of the shoe.

With its unique colorway, Swoosh placement and dual air-filled cushioning system, the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls quickly became a pop culture icon. As with many other Nike designs, the hip-hop community has fallen in love with the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls. The fan base ranges from Eminem, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Freddo Starr to Warren G. Gucci Mane, Fabolous and Curren$y have even mentioned the shoe in their songs.

But besides the OG colorway, more than 150 colorways have been released on the AM95 in the last 25 years, including dozens of collaborations. Especially colorways like the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls "Black Grape" and the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls "Freddy Krueger" showcase clean versions of the sneaker, while on the other hand special models like the NFL x Nike Nike Pegasus 32 Girls "NFC East" Pack, the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls "Country Camo" or the Nike Pegasus 32 Girls "Korea" highlight the versatility of the silhouette.
