The Pegasus Premium was already Nike’s most advanced daily trainer the day it launched.

Its midsole combines three distinct innovations in cushioning technology, not to mention one novel breakthrough. It includes Nike’s first-ever full-length Air Zoom pocket, sandwiched in-between layers of ZoomX and ReactX foam.

But the word “finished” doesn’t mean much around the brand’s home of Beaverton, Oregon.

The upcoming Nike Pegasus Premium SP follows in the footsteps of the Vomero Roam, adopting a wraparound mudguard that converts the everyday runner into a true all-season workhorse.

The mudguard matches the color of the midsole for a minimalist aesthetic.

It also swaps out the engineered knit of the original for an upper fashioned out of DWR-treated ripstop, resulting in a masterstroke of technical styling.

Two minimalist colorways only enhance the effect: one pairs a dark upper with a white midsole, while the other inverts the combination.

Availability and pricing

The Pegasus Premium SP is already popping up overseas through official Nike channels, with a US rollout expected in the coming weeks.

Pricing matches that of previous Pegasus Premium models, which retail for $220.
