These may not be the same "bloody shoes" that Cardi B rapped about on her hit song "Bodak Yellow." But Nike's newest Pegasus Premium certainly checks the box.
The "Black/University Red," or "Bred," sneaker features a black upper and red soles. Basically, it's a black shoe with red bottoms, sort like the classic Christian Louboutin heels.
But one thing about these Swoosh "red bottoms?" They're high-tech.
Indeed, the Pegasus Premium maintains all of its state-of-the-art running components, including its triple-stacked sole layered with Nike's best cushioning technologies. At the same time, it also keeps its lightweight technical mesh uppers and grip-tastic rubber soles. It's still stylish as ever, too.
Yes, the Pegasus Premium sneaker has received many good-looking colorways, plus some spins from tastemakers like A Ma Maniére and Melitta Baumeister.
With the "Black/University Red" colorway, the brand leans even further into the model's fashion side, essentially making a "Louboutin" for runners.
Speaking of which, the new "Bred" Pegasus Premium sneaker is available on Nike's website for $220.
