Black Metallic Summer Sneakers

Nike Presents a Stealthy Tonal Pegasus Premium

Nike introduces a new stealthy colorway palette of the Pegasus Premium sneaker model with a black and metallic silver colorway palette. It is set to join the roster for Summer 2025 and presents an alternative to the brighter color schemes.

The cool understated look has an all-black engineered mesh material making up the upper and then joined by a tough synthetic overlay to appeal to both runners and casual wearers. The striking metallic silver makes its way onto the Swoosh branding to add a sharp contrast. It is subtly accented with a light blue tiny which adds some flare without altering the silhouette. Reflective details continue to decorate the shoe and add visibility in low-light conditions.
