The run clubs, Strava obsession, and endless running shoe collabs might have you feeling like the culture’s dedication to clocking miles is a new phenomenon. At Nike, though, the brand was founded on speed and pushing running technology to its furthest possible reaches. On its latest collection of modern performance runners, Beaverton takes it back to the good ol’ days in grey mesh.

Racing from Past to Present

The Nike Running Now and Then Collection features three pairs of performance racers in old-school color combos that trade flash for function. Featuring pairs of the Pegasus Premium, Vomero 18, and Pegasus 42, the pack adds tonal grey mesh across all three uppers, with accent colors in red and black, and gum bottoms.

The Pegasus 42 brings the most color to the collection with metallic red on the side panel Swoosh and the back half of the cushion above the midsole. The Vomero 18 tones down the red accents to just the lace loops, and the Pegasus Premium keeps things as grey as possible, with tiny hits of red on the mini Swoosh branding.
