Lightweight sneakers for summer? Nike "serves" a coffee version of the iconic model

New Nike sneaker model inspired by coffee

The aesthetics of the Desert Ochre model take us straight to the interior of your favorite coffee shop. The colors: Soft Pearl, Desert Ochre, Fauna Brown and Velvet Brown evoke associations with latte macchiato , Arabica beans and milk foam.

The upper is designed in a light gradient, reminiscent of cream in a cup of freshly brewed coffee . The ReactX foam midsole is decorated with subtle speckles, reminiscent of ground coffee beans .

As usual, Nike has taken care of every detail. The sneakers are packaged in a packaging resembling a bag of coffee beans , with the words "Roasted by Nike, Inc."

Nike's new Pegasus will give you more energy than your morning coffee

In addition to its stunning appearance, the Pegasus 41 Desert Ochre offers full capabilities as a running sneaker . Advanced Zoom Air technology combined with new ReactX foam provides springiness, softness and support with every step. The mesh upper ensures ventilation even on the warmest days, and the ergonomic design was created with long-distance runners in mind.

The model will debut in summer 2025 on Nike.com and in select boutiques for $150.

Pegasus Coffee – an accidental Nike inspiration?

The name Pegasus is no stranger to coffee lovers. Coincidence? Or perhaps a subtle play on context? Pegasus is also the name of the legendary Seattle-based roastery Pegasus Coffee – one of the first to introduce the European coffeehouse style to the US. Its founder, David Dessinger, began by roasting beans on his own boat before creating a cult coffeehouse that today stands as a symbol of quality and an artisanal approach to taste.

It is possible that NIKE, consciously or not, has captured not only the aroma of coffee, but also the spirit of a place where style, taste and passion come together in a perfect blend.
