Nike Air Pegasus Wave SE "Phantom" IB2916-100

Nike drops the Air Pegasus Wave SE “Phantom” on 2 July 2025 at Nike SNKRS UK and select stockists. It marries Y2K styling with classic running DNA—mesh and synthetic leather mix across the upper, layered in sail, phantom, seafoam and metallic copper tones. The design nods to the Y2K nostalgia trend while keeping true to running heritage.

The midsole packs full-length Nike Air cushioning. It delivers a plush feel that cushions impact as you walk or run. Underfoot, a gum waffle outsole keeps grip strong, even on damp UK pavements. That classic traction pattern channels pure ’70s running vibes.

The upper has depth in every panel. You get breathable mesh, durable textile, plush suede-like overlays and slick synthetic leather. That mash-up brings texture and dimension without being over the top . A Reddit review of the premium version praised airflow: “openings on the sides allow air plenty of airflow and they are so comfortable”.

Fit feels true to size, though some note a snug initial feel. Expect gentle break-in as the upper molds to your foot. The Nike Air cushioning keeps things lively without sacrificing stability—ideal for daily wear.
