Nike's innovations in the running market have helped define the company for decades. For their latest endeavor, they’re upgrading the iconic Nike Pegasus with a new Premium variant offering a first for The Swoosh—a sculpted and visible Air Zoom unit. While we’re just days away from the sneaker's debut in the Airscape colorway, an official look at the women’s exclusive Atmosphere rendition has appeared.
The sneaker, engineered with a circular knit across the upper, takes on a tonal pink finish in the shade Nike dubs atmosphere. Splitting the upper between the different mesh patterns is a fused TPU panel running from the toe back to the heel tab. The all-over tonal pink look is broken up by a few contrasting shades, as seen with the red stardust-shaded ripstop nylon eyelet, the metallic Swoosh on the vamp and medial collar, and the two-tone pink and silver lace set.
Although the upper itself is impressive, the tooling of the Pegasus Premium is what makes the shoe stand out amongst the rest of Nike's running lineup. Two of Nike's best foam cushioning systems, ReactX and ZoomX, are utilized within the midsole, a full-length ZoomX foam and a pod of ReactX foam in the heel. These two foam systems, combined with the sculpted Air Zoom unit positioned between them, work together to optimize energy return for runners. Finishing the design is the grippy rubber outsole.
The Nike Pegasus Premium Atmosphere W will release on April 17, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $210.
