You Don’t Have to Be Forrest Gump to Cop This Nike Pegasus Premium

In the 1994 classic Forrest Gump, Forrest runs for three years, two months, 14 days, and 16 hours – covering more than 15,000 miles before finally deciding to stop. That’s a pretty epic journey by any standard, but we can’t help but think it might’ve been a bit easier if he’d laced up in the brand new Nike Pegasus Premium “Forrest Gump” instead. Inspired by the Cortez that he rocked in the film, this is made for both sneakerheads and movie nerds alike.

Working on top of a “Sail” mesh that keeps everything breathable, a stroke of tape runs across the middle of the upper for a sleek and streamlined look, while nylon surrounds the mudguard section so your feet feel nice and secure at all times. A “Fire Red” Nike Swoosh appears on the lateral and medial sidewalls for that classic Cortez aesthetic, and additional “Pegasus Premium” branding can be found on the translucent pull tab that’s stitched on the tongue.

But the star of the show has got to be the midsole down below. Accented in “Light Photo Blue,” not only is if infused with Air Zoom cushioning, it’s also fitted with ZoomX tech and ReactX foam for insane levels of comfort. All of this is then finished with a grippy rubber outsole that’s designed to keep you on your feet.

Also nicknamed the “USA” thanks to its patriotic colour palette, the Nike Pegasus Premium “Forrest Gump” is a must-own. Set to drop within the coming months for £190, be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
