As Nike explores the balance between retro style and modern durability, the Nike Pegasus Wave is carving its own path. Dropping in a sleek “Dark Raisin” colorway on November 19th, this offshoot model is Nike’s answer to the demand for more rugged, utility-focused sneakers that still embody the brand’s classic designs.
Building on the strong consumer interest in the revived Pegasus 2K5, the Pegasus Wave is a sturdier alternative. While the 2K5 was reintroduced in early 2024 with its original lightweight mesh design, the Wave’s iteration leans into extra protection and support, ideal for city streets or light outdoor wear. Featuring robust padding and a TPU cage, the Pegasus Wave shields the foot while maintaining the recognizable Pegasus 2K5 silhouette, making it both practical and stylish.
The “Dark Raisin” Pegasus Wave blends light and dark purple tones, adding visual depth to its rugged build. The upper’s combination of darker purples with a “Cement Grey” midsole brings versatility, perfect for casual outfits or athleisure looks. Rope laces reinforce the sneaker’s outdoorsy appeal, aligning it with Nike’s latest gorpcore-inspired designs like the Vomero 5 Roam and the “Drift” Air Max series.
The Pegasus Wave “Dark Raisin” will be available on Nike.com and select retailers on November 19th for $160.
