Nike is back at it—this time with a shoe that’s faster than your weekend plans and lighter than your bank account post-sneaker drop. Meet the Nike Pegasus Premium Mayfly, a flashy new take on Nike Running history, now draped in the eye-searing combo of University Gold and Laser Orange.

This isn’t just some bright summer trainer. No, it’s inspired by the iconic Nike Mayfly, a race-day shoe known for its ultra-light build and 100km lifespan (yes, really), the Pegasus Premium revives that legacy—with upgrades that won’t expire faster than a Tinder convo.

The Pegasus Premium Mayfly keeps the spirit of its ephemeral ancestor but blesses it with modern upgrades like ZoomX cushioning and web-like details along the upper. It’s like a science experiment where a bug and a spaceship had a stylish baby.

But don’t let the pretty colors distract you. This sneaker means business. The midsole is juiced with Zoom Air for explosive runs (or casual jogs where you pretend to stretch). And that textured mesh? It breathes better than most people during cardio.

The Nike Pegasus Premium Mayfly will release in Summer 2025 at select Nike Running spots and Nike.com. It’ll sting your wallet for $210 USD, but hey—at least it won’t self-destruct after one race.
