At Nike’s spotlight presentation in Paris last year, the Pegasus Premium emerged as perhaps the darling of the show, really saying something given that an AI-assisted prototype for Victor Wembanyama was in competition. Now staring down the model’s “early 2025” debut, fresh colorways of the model that build on the orange-on-white signature of all the product previewed are beginning to emerge, including a “Ghost/Persian Violet” makeup expected soon.

The hardware that makes the model such an early standout, including the simplistic upper and headline-grabbing full-length Zoom Air, remain in place of course. The main switch up is in the palette. While functioning mostly a color swap from the aforementioned “Total Orange” edition, injecting a more royal tonality in the midsole, there’s also a bit more depth and layering in the upper. beneath the wavy graphic layer that splits it in two, “Persian Violet” tints the mesh, while “Ghost” off-white holds things down surrounding the laces and at the forefoot.

The Nike Pegasus Premium “Persian Violet” is expected to land as a part of Nike’s Spring 2025 offerings ($210.) Keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Dates landing page for further updates and enjoy official images included below.
