Nike Pegasus Premium White Mint Foam (W)
Buy at Nike
After reorganizing how it approaches running sneakers, Nike simplified its offerings by tiering them into three categories: Icon, Plus, and Premium. The Icon is the standard model base model, the Plus is an upgraded base version, and the Premium is the family's highest-end and most tech-packed sneaker. Its first entry in this series is the Pegasus Premium, which has enjoyed a successful run so far, selling out across the board in the handful of colors that have hit shelves. A new White Mint Foam variant has appeared after a look at the sneaker in a Forrest Gump Coretz-inspired colorway.
Coming in a split between two shades, the upper features a circular knit base layer, taking on white on the top half and mint foam on the bottom half. These two shades are split by a white fused TPU film, passing the metallic Swoosh on the midfoot and the split Zoom Air text on the medial side. Ripstop nylon constructs the eyelets, which host coordinates that lead to Nike's first retail storefront, back when they went by Blue Ribbon Sports, in Santa Monica, California.
