Vintage Grey Meets ZoomX: Nike Pegasus Premium Pulls Off a Sneaky Time Warp

Nike drops its "Now & Then" pack, dressing the Pegasus Premium in a weathered Light Iron Ore grey — but underneath that throwback look sits ZoomX foam and an Air Zoom unit. Priced at $220.

Vintage Grey Meets ZoomX: Nike Pegasus Premium Pulls Off a Sneaky Time Warp

At first glance it looks like something dug out of a dusty old warehouse — chalky grey, worn-in vibes — but Nike's Pegasus Premium hasn't aged a day.

This new colorway, dubbed "Now & Then," leans into a "Light Iron Ore" grey as its main hue, giving off a distinctly retro feel. The winged Swoosh badge on the heel nods to Pegasus history, while the outsole keeps the signature waffle pattern — both visual cues pointing straight back to the archives. But under the hood, it's all current tech: ZoomX foam paired with an Air Zoom unit, so the ride is anything but old-school.

This blend of old and new isn't exactly new territory for the Pegasus Premium. It's previously appeared in a stripped-down version without the Swoosh, and even teamed up with A Ma Maniére for a collab. This time, "Light Iron Ore" leans hard into the vintage language, letting the colorway itself tell the story instead of relying on cuts or collab buzz.

Nike didn't stop at one shoe — they've rolled out an entire "Now & Then" collection, applying the same nostalgic color logic to the Pegasus 42 and Vomero 18, effectively pulling the whole Pegasus lineup into one retro narrative.

The "Light Iron Ore" Pegasus Premium is now live on Nike's website for $220. Pricing and release details for Taiwan have yet to be announced.
