Nike quietly re-released a special chapter of their decades-running Pegasus franchise in the Pegasus ’89. But did you know a “Premium” version was crafted to enhance its return?

Seen here in a “Light Iron Ore” colorway, this Air Pegasus ’89 Premium captures the original silhouette from over three decades ago, swapping out the original sport mesh on the toe-box, mid-panel, and tongue for a porous mesh material for breathability. Fine leather is utilizes for the toe-cap and lace collar, while a lux suede appears towards the heel. A reflective Swoosh in silver sits above it all, completing the elevated look.

The Pegasus ’89 is one of those running classics that will come and go on Nike’s shelves, and it often does unnoticed. Do you think the Swoosh should consider some collaborations, or do you prefer it as an under-the-radar cop? If you chose the latter option, good news: the shoes are available now on Nike.com via the shopping link below.
