Double Tap to Zoom

The Nike Pegasus has been a gold-standard running shoe for ages. Just last year, the Oregon-based sports conglomerate released what was the 41st(!) edition of the classic model. And, believe it or not, there are more enhancements in the works.

To have competed with, defeated, and even outlived the many brands and products that have emerged in the decades since its inception, is a true testament to the endurance and efficacy of Pegasus designs.

All the more remarkable then, that we are about to receive another new and improved Pegasus, the next-gen Pegasus Premium. How does one upgrade something that's already pretty flawless though? Leave it to Nike to figure out a way.

Deemed "the most responsive Pegasus ever", this Pegasus Premium is a road runner with trademark Air Zoom soles to exquisitely cushion your every step, and an upper textile that is so snug and light you'll forget it's even there.
