Nike’s Crazy-Colorful, High-Tech Running Shoe Seeks Attention
Nike's "Racer Blue" Pegasus Premium sneaker wants attention. Granted, the model already turns heads on a normal day with its clean-cut design, which is almost too nice for casual runs. But these latest pairs are exploding with color, so much so that the Nike runner couldn't hide if it tried.
The lightweight mesh upper gets an ombre makeover, with bold colors transitioning from the deep royal "Racer Blue" to the peachy "Atomic Pink." The gradient vibe continues all the way down to the triple-stacked soles, which feature three kinds of Nike tech (Zoom X, Zoom Air, and ReactX foam, to be exact).
Nike's neon-green "Volt" color strikes the midsole, adding even more bold flavor to this vibrant runner. And elsewhere, the Pegasus Premium does its thing: delivering a high-tech, highly cushioned running experience to carry runners from takeoff to the finish line. That includes crossing the threshold of the coffee shop.
The Pegasus Premium "Racer Blue" is expected to drop on Nike's website on July 1, retailing for the usual $220.
It'll be another stylish addition to the collection, for sure. The lineup already features clean "Pure Platinum" versions and even minimalist Swoosh-less iterations.
Even when turned into art projects, the Pegasus Premium still looks good.
