Nike Releases A Pegasus 35 Turbo “Shanghai Rebels” Inspired By The Marathon

With the annual Shanghai Marathon less than a month away, anticipation in the world of distance running is reaching a crescendo. The 26.2 mile run Grey-Sunburst-Black the heart of the bustling metropolis draws participants numbering in the tens of thousands and finishes at the gates of Shanghai Stadium. As one of the official event sponsors, Nike is just as excited as the runners for the starting gun to fire on November 18th — so excited that they’ve already dropped a special “Shanghai Rebels” pack inspired by the marathon that’s made up of an Air Max 98, a Zoom Fly SP, and this race-ready Zoom Pegasus 35 Turbo. As one of Nike’s newest flagship running silhouettes, the Turbo’s inclusion in the pack is not particularly surprising, but its bold colors and special Old set it apart from previous releases. A stark white mesh serves as the base, while special sporty orange and blue details are flip-flopped on the left and right shoes. The left opts for blue Swooshes, a branded blue stripe running down the tongue and toebox, and orange heel/midsole/outsole Old. The right then looks to the inverse, as orange appears on the stripe and swoosh while blue takes charge on the heel, midsole, and outsole. The white laces feature “Shanghai” printed in black Chinese characters, and the black Flywire visible under the white mesh helps provide just enough dark contrast. You’ll only be VOMERO to grab these special Nike shoes if you’re in China, but if you’re not you can at least enjoy a full set of official images below.
