[Update 2 Sep 2024] The Nike Air Pegasus Wave “Cyber” will see an initial release in Japan on atmos online today, 2 September 2024, with a wider release to follow via Nike SNKRS on 14 September 2024. Find the pair on the SNKRDUNK App post-release. In the meantime, check out new images of the shoe in the gallery above.

Early this year, Nike reintroduced the Air Pegasus 2K5, likely inspired by the success of retro models like the Zoom Vomero 5. While the 2K5 revival has generated interest, it hasn’t quite captured the same level of excitement. To reinvigorate the line, Nike is introducing the Air Pegasus Wave in Fall 2024, a contemporary reimagining of the classic silhouette.

About the Nike Air Pegasus Wave “Cyber”

The Nike Air Pegasus Wave features a dramatically redesigned quarter panel with a prominent TPU cage that extends through the midsole. The forefoot has also undergone a transformation, replacing layered overlays with sublimated mesh and patent leather accents. The heel is more pronounced, combining padded mesh with leather cutouts and a bold branding element. Other subtle changes include a wider mesh collar.

This approach to revamping a retro runner is reminiscent of Nike’s work on the Air Max Plus Drift and Air Max 90 Drift, which modernized classic designs using synthetic materials and reflective details.

Release Details

The Nike Air Pegasus Wave in “Cyber” is expected to launch in Fall 2024 with a price tag of US$150, though a specific release date has yet to be confirmed. Stay locked to SNKRDUNK Magazine for the latest updates as they arrive.
