Matt Varga As so many Swoosh ads remind us, oftentimes the difference between average folk and the upper-echelon physical performers isn’t an issue of genetics or biology, it’s a question of who has that extra motivation, that mental edge to go the extra mile that the competition won’t. As the revitalization of Nike’s running line continues, the face of that movement is pledging itself to the furthering of consumers’ mental makeups, as a version of the Nike Pegasus Premium with an included incense holder has surfaced.
As it states clearly on the insoles, the motif that lights this pair is the fact that “Running is Mental,” splayed out further with a mission statement on the other interior: “Engineered for Athletes balancing the pursuit of inner peace with the drive for pace.” That focus on energies and the inner self continues aesthetically with the infrared-like foot patterning on those inserts, mirrored with the baggie that holds the aforementioned accessory. As for the shoes themselves, largely those peripherals bring the vibrant coloring to the table, allowing a zen-like white and off-white to overtake the shoe’s exteriors.
The Nike Pegasus Premium “Running Is Mental” is likely touching down as a part of the brand’s Spring 2026 offerings, clocking in with a $220 retail price. Catch official images below and keep watch over this drop via our Sneaker Release Dates page.
Elsewhere on the Beaverton slate, we’re continuing to watch the Gamma Blue 11s as the silhouette’s 2025 Holiday spotlight.
