The Retro Runner Trend Continues with Jade-Caged Pegasus Wave
Nike continues to fuel the retro running wave with its Pegasus Wave series—an updated remix of the beloved Pegasus 2K5 tailored for today’s lifestyle wear. The latest addition to the lineup offers a clean yet punchy design in “White/Jade Aura,” embracing contrast as its primary design focus.
At first glance, the pair reads almost entirely “Triple White,” with breathable mesh uppers and synthetic overlays forming the base. But the real standout arrives via the jade green caging system, which wraps the midfoot with a sharp, saturated pop of color. The same gem-inspired hue returns at the heel, where the sculpted foam support is fully coated in an opaque jade finish, elevating the retro-inspired runner with a more fashion-forward tone.
While gradient finishes have dominated much of the model’s seasonal output, this pair opts for bold contrast instead, proving the Pegasus Wave’s versatility in design and appeal. Lightweight cushioning, a performance-informed build, and a lifestyle-first aesthetic keep this model at the heart of Nike’s modern retro runner offerings.
Expect the Nike Pegasus Wave “White/Jade Aura” to release in men’s sizing later this Summer 2025 season on Nike.com and select retailers for $150.
