Nike's Ultra-Cushioned Pegasus Premium Arrives in "Washed Coral"

Nike Running's Pegasus Premium has been widely lauded by dedicated athletes for its incomparable underfoot sensation. Additionally, conversation about the elevated trainer has celebrated the design's roster of compelling colorways, which will soon include a "Washed Coral/Crimson Tint" option.

Built as the pinnacle expression of the decades-old Nike Pegasus running series, the silhouette doesn't skimp out on quality across any of its elements. Its layered upper delivers beneficial breathability and padding that differs from racing models like the VaporFly 4. The shoe's real star, however, is the triple-stacked cushioning solution below. Soft ZoomX foam is placed atop the brand's first-ever sculpted Zoom Air unit for a responsive and propulsive experience. Lastly, a slab of firmer ReactX foam sits between the visible Airbag and waffle-inspired rubber traction underfoot.

Together, each cushioning element helps create a singular sensation whether walking or running—so much so that folks have abandoned competitors' sneakers to make the premium Pegasus their go-to running model.

Away from running, the Swoosh has prepared dozens of new retros as part of its Jordan Releases for the remainder of the year—including September's Air Jordan 5 "Tokyo" pair.
