Nike Pegasus Premium “The Perfect Texture For Running” Design
The colorway rebuilds the outfits of the three people in that clip, which aired on February 8, 2014. Blue stands for the jacket worn by reporter Lisa Balick. A lime tone nods to the partner of runner Chelsea Bauch. Photon Dust references Bauch’s reflective outerwear.
Most of the palette lives on the sole unit. The breathable upper picks up only hits of Bright Cactus and Industrial Blue, with Metallic Silver completing the official colorway. A white mesh base carries a large reflective strip around the upper, and Bright Cactus covers the forefoot of the midsole before fading into Industrial Blue toward the heel. On the medial side, a mini Swoosh sits closer to the heel, and a small patterned heel tab and black rubber on the outsole round out the look.
The custom insoles carry the rest of the story. The left shoe has a red Swoosh branded “LIVE” graphic styled after a TV news bug, with the quote printed below it.
Is the Pegasus Premium Built for Snow Running?
No. Nike has not fitted this pair with enhanced rubber tread or a waterproof upper. The Pegasus 42 GORE TEX is the model for wet, snowy conditions.
