Gradient-Struck Nike Pegasus Wave "Football Grey" Releases January 23rd

The Nike Pegasus series continues its fierce competition for market dominance, with the retro 2K5 and remodeled Wave variants vying for top billing among the brand’s archival runners — though neither yet eclipses the Vomero. While the Pegasus 2K5 embraces its heritage as a classic tech runner, the Wave offshoot is carving out a more unconventional niche, as evidenced by its latest “Football Grey” colorway.

This iteration leans into a chilly, oceanic theme, employing a gradient cage design that trades fiery accents for cooler tones. “Football Grey” and “Green Strike” hues sweep across the upper, giving the silhouette a fresh, aquatic vibe. The Wave’s unique design pushes the boundaries of retro-inspired runners, ensuring it stands apart from its predecessors.

Set to release on January 23rd, the Nike Air Pegasus Wave “Football Grey” will retail for $160.
