If you want to take this whole running thing seriously, there’s one sneaker that's dominating the conversation right now – yep, the Pegasus Premium. Since it made its grand debut eight months ago, the silhouette has quickly made its way to everyone's rotation. Whether you’re tackling your first 5K or smashing marathons, it’s proven itself as a versatile all-rounder. And if you still haven’t laced up a pair, the upcoming Nike Pegasus Premium Cannon might just be the one.
Part of Nike’s storied Pegasus lineup – home to some of the brand’s greatest track legends – this delivers all the performance and power you’d expect. The upper comes in a minty fresh Cannon mesh that keeps everything cool and breathable, while the aerodynamic silhouette is built to cut through the air.
Underfoot, a plush ZoomX foam midsole is paired with a sculpted Air Zoom unit in Volt and ReactX cushioning. According to the American sportswear giant, this is one of its bounciest and most responsive Pegasus models to date. A tweaked Waffle outsole rounds it off, serving extra grip and traction for every stride.
As for the “Premium” in its name – boy, it earns it. Slick taping reinforces the build and 3M reflective accents light you up during those early morning or late night runs. The Cannon is then finished with a small tab around the heel that's printed with a pair of wings – a nod to the winged horse from Greek mythology that inspired the Pegasus name.
Set to drop sometime in Fall 2025, the Nike Pegasus Premium Cannon will be available in unisex sizing via Nike and select retailers online and in-store, priced at $220.
