The Nike Air Pegasus 89 has gotten more press lately, but it would’t exist without these literal forerunners.  The Nike Air Pegasus GX is a long throwback, back to the days of waffle soles and steep wedge heels.  They’re done in a mix of nylon and suede, two muted fabrics that allow the Swooshes to explode from the side panels.  There’s a pair in emerald/plum and another in purple/volt, both now at Size?

The groundbreaking basketball model has been shrunk down for the youngsters, but still mainatains its great look and function. This version features a fairly simple color scheme with a White upper contrasted by Varsity Red and Black accents.

Yesterday, we gave you a nice look at an extremely rare White/Metallic Gold sample pair of Air Jordan XX3′s and now it’s time to check out some unreleased colorways of the shoe. Here we have two Air Jordan XX3 samples that never saw the light of day. As you may notice, the one pair looks very similar to the Titanium colorway that eventually dropped, but the blue around the ankle collar of the retail version is black on this pair and the tongue and laces are also black instead of white. The other sample version goes with a simple white/black palette, although its upper also sports the same embroidered design and color scheme of the Titanium edition. You can take a closer look at both after the jump and let us know if these versions are better or worse than some of the colorways that were actually released.  Via FlightClub.Tistory.
