Seeing Red: Nike is Bringing a Bright Crimson Colorway to the Pegasus Premium

Some colors are faster than others. Not only is it true in science, where red light’s long wavelength and low frequency make it the quickest color in the rainbow, but on the road too, where red cars tend to get pulled over for speeding tickets more often than cars in most other colors. If you wanna bring that kind of speed to your feet, we’re thinking red is probably the best option.

The Nike Pegasus Premium Light Crimson is a case study in speedy colors, adding shifting shades of red across the entire shoe. Blending light crimson, bright crimson, team red, and gym red across the two-texture mesh upper, with black hits on the side panel Swoosh and the rest of the shoe’s branding. The colorway is finished with a black tint on the full-foot Air Zoom unit underfoot.
