It’s all in the mind. The brain is capable of tremendous things, and no matter how much you work out the body, it takes just as much work to train your mental capabilities to be able to push through adversity and reach new heights. For its latest collection of running shoes, Nike is tapping into the brain waves for a clean color combo designed to match running pace with mental peace.

The Nike Running is Mental collection features three shoes: a Pegasus Premium, a Vomero Plus, and a Zoom Alphafly 3, all designed with the same platinum, silver, and grey color combo. So far, though, we’ve only seen photos of the Pegasus Plus. The shoe features the silhouette’s classic blend of two reinforced mesh fabric styles, one with vertical textured tooling on the toe and side panels, and a more traditional, breathable diamond weave on the toe, lace panel, and heel. The lower mesh is done in a silvery grey, while the diamond knit is done in a creamy tan. The side panel Swoosh adds a metallic silver hit in the middle, and the midsole brings a subtle weathered look in peachy cream.

To bring the theme together, the insoles of the Running is Mental pack feature messaging on top of serene blue shades. The right foot adds the name of the collection across the insole, and the left insole adds an explanation: “Engineered for athletes balancing the pursuit of inner peace with the drive for pace.” Completing the heady vibes, each pair comes with an incense holder accessory to help set the mood.

Nike’s Running is Mental collection will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail prices are set at $230 for the Pegasus Plus, $190 for the Vomero Plus, and $305 for the Zoom Alphafly 3.
