The Pegasus Premium has been an absolute phenomenon. Even though the silhouette only debuted earlier this year, it's quickly becoming one of the Beaverton brand's most hyped-up running shoes – and for good reason. Because not only does it look sick, it's also packing a punch under the hood. And if you've been searching for a pair to accompany you on your crisp fall jogs, look no further than the upcoming Nike Pegasus Premium Light Loden.
Even though this is one of the latest color combos to hit the Pegasus Premium lineup, it's pretty clear that it borrows some design cues from other legendary silhouettes. The ribbed mudguard seems to pay homage to the Cosmic Unity, while the slick, wavy lines mimic those of the Air Max 97.
Even so, it stands on its own, with a breathable mesh upper in Light Loden, Dark Charcoal overlays, and a speckled Metallic Medium Ash Swoosh that slices across the sidewalls. It's also loaded with plenty of "Pegasus Premium" branding so you know that this is a different kind of beast.
But wait, there's more! Beneath the surface, it’s just as impressive. Not only is the midsole dripped out in ZoomX foam, it's fitted with a sculpted Air Zoom unit and ReactX cushioning, too. According to the American sportswear company, that makes this one of the most responsive Pegasus models to date. It's then finished off with a slightly modified Waffle outsole, which is a nice nod to Nike's track roots.
Scheduled to release in Fall 2025 alongside a range of colorways, the Nike Pegasus Premium Light Loden will be available in unisex sizing via Nike and select retailers online and in-store, priced at $220.
