Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Premium "Year of the Horse" IQ1130-001

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Premium “Year of the Horse” brings fresh energy to one of Nike’s most trusted running shoes. Timed to celebrate Chinese New Year, this special edition blends cultural detail with serious performance tech.

At first glance, the colour story stands out. Gradients of Anthracite, Sail and soft pink shift between the left and right shoe, creating a deliberate mismatched look. It feels bold but controlled. Anthracite Swooshes feature subtle brogue and paisley-inspired graphics, adding texture without overwhelming the upper.

The smartest detail sits at the heel. The traditional pull tab is swapped for a wing-shaped tag, a quiet nod to Pegasus, the mythical winged horse. It’s clean. Thoughtful. Easy to miss if you’re not looking closely. Inside, custom insoles reference open fields, paired with “soaring free since 1972” branding around the heel. A subtle tribute to Nike heritage.

Performance is where the Pegasus Premium earns its name. This model stacks three of Nike’s leading cushioning systems: ZoomX foam on top, a sculpted Air Zoom unit through the midsole, and ReactX foam beneath. The result? A highly responsive ride with impressive energy return. Soft on impact. Snappy on toe-off.

The lightweight upper keeps things breathable, making it ideal for daily miles or tempo sessions. Whether you’re training through winter streets or gearing up for spring races, this Pegasus feels fast without sacrificing comfort.
