The long-reigning Y2K-inspired retro runner trend isn’t going anywhere, and Nike consistently leads the pack with fresh styles that are nothing short of a streetwear statement. We’ve seen trendy silver sneakers and mixed media walking shoes instantly sell out from the Swoosh, but this new Nordstrom drop of the Nike Air Pegasus 2K5 takes the popular silhouette — which comes equipped with serious support features — one step further with this year’s dominant color trend.
Originally released on Nike’s SNKRS app, the bestselling Nike Air Pegasus 2K5 women’s sneaker arrived on Nordstrom.com in the latest lust-worthy colorway for everyone to shop. In proper early-aughts fashion, it’s uppers combine a textural mix of breathable mesh and synthetic and textile overlays, along with touches of a deep red-hued details that tap into the burgundy color trend for 2024. The bold tone pops against the off-white sneaker that gives it a more luxurious, expensive look to compliment your summer wardrobe basics.
Nike, per usual, designed the Air Pegasus 2K5 shoe with essential comfort in mind. Imagined as a supportive running shoe, complete with springy full-length Air unit midsoles and 360 padding along the tongue and low collar, these cool sneakers provide substantial support for hours on your feet. The shoe also boasts durable rubber outsole traction that will help you to move with ease on most terrains.
“When it comes to the support and feel of Nike’s latest and most popular Y2K-inspired throwback sneakers, most of differences come down to the small-yet-impactful design details on the upper and midsole,” says Footwear News Shop editor Adam Mansuroglu. “The Air Pegasus 2K5s offer more breathability than the P-6000 or Vomero 5 styles, which makes them ideal for the warmer months ahead. With just the right amount of cushioning and ample room in the toe box area, the Nike Air Pegasus 2K5 shoes are going to be one of the hottest everyday sneakers for summer 2024.”
The creamy tone of the shoe’s upper makes it far less sensitive than a true white, offering a more lived-in look that bodes well as foolproof white sneakers to wear with with dresses or daily denim. Though rich red tones can typically read daring, the touches of color throughout the shoe create a harmonious balance of style, making the Air Pegasus 2K5 shoes a versatile addition to your footwear rotation.
