Nike’s In-Your-Face Running Shoe Gets Its Heart Racing
Nike’s Pegasus has been through plenty of iterations over the years, but the latest version makes a particularly strong case for adding some color to your running rotation. This one isn’t exactly trying to blend into the background.
The Pegasus Plus 2 arrives in a seriously vibrant “Flash Crimson” colorway.
The bright red upper is balanced by black, white, and metallic silver details, giving the streamlined runner a suitably energetic finish. It’s bold without getting too complicated, with enough contrast to keep all those speedy lines looking sharp.
The colorway does something interesting to the Pegasus Plus 2, though. Suddenly, a shoe designed for putting in the miles feels just as ready for the rest of your wardrobe. Whether you’re actually heading out for a run or simply embracing the running-shoe-everywhere agenda, it’s got plenty of presence.
Built around Nike’s lightweight ZoomX foam, the Pegasus Plus 2 is designed to deliver a responsive ride, while the forefoot Air Zoom unit adds a little extra bounce to each stride. The result is a performance sneaker that looks every bit as fast as it feels.
The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 “Flash Crimson” is available September 3 for $170.
