Nike has dipped into its archives again, this time to reinterpret the early‑2000s Pegasus lineage with a surprisingly rugged twist. The new P‑6000 Premium CORDURA® marries retro running cues with utilitarian materials, giving the familiar silhouette a fresh, street‑ready look. Where previous versions leaned heavily on mesh and synthetic overlays, this edition layers leather and suede with panels of CORDURA® fabric, a durable textile more commonly seen in bags and outerwear. The result is a khaki‑toned sneaker that looks as tough as it feels.

It’s not all about the materials; the P‑6000’s design remains a tribute to Nike’s heritage. A cushioned foam midsole offers the same comfort that made the Pegasus line a runner’s staple, while a rubber outsole with a waffle pattern delivers dependable grip. Subtle details, like embroidered mini‑Swooshes and layered eyestays, add depth to the shoe’s profile without overwhelming its streamlined shape.

The Filbert and Desert Khaki colorway leans into earthy tones, making this release versatile enough to pair with denim or technical outerwear. At $125, it sits comfortably between mainstream runners and luxury collaborations, offering accessible style for those who appreciate craft and durability.

Officially available via Nike’s product page and select retailers, the P‑6000 Premium CORDURA® is already drawing attention from sneaker forums. Early pairs have also surfaced on StockX for collectors who refuse to wait. Its use of CORDURA® even has gearheads comparing it to their favorite backpacks, further broadening its appeal.
