Honoring the Lunar New Year with top-tier performance.

As 2026 approached, Nike celebrated the Chinese Zodiac with the Nike Pegasus Premium “Year of the Horse”, a special edition that blended the brand’s classic running silhouette with cultural symbolism and advanced performance technology. This Lunar New Year release honored the strength, speed, and spirit of the Horse, giving runners a lucky start to the year.

The design featured a premium engineered mesh upper in a jade-to-grey gradient, with ornate etched patterns on the Swoosh inspired by traditional Chinese calligraphy. A vibrant pink accent on the outsole added a striking pop, while the sleek Pegasus profile maintained its signature aesthetic. Underfoot, the shoe incorporated a full-length Zoom Air unit layered with responsive ZoomX foam for energetic yet plush cushioning, paired with a durable traction outsole built for high-mileage training.

The Nike Pegasus Premium “Year of the Horse” dropped in Spring 2026 via Nike, with an MSRP of $220 USD. This release perfectly combined heritage-inspired visuals with top-tier running performance, making it a must-have for athletes and collectors alike.
