FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Air Pegasus '89 Premium?

The upper combines a loose-weave mesh with suede overlays and leather accents on the toecap and around the laces.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While it features Air cushioning, the '89 Premium is primarily designed for casual wear and retro style rather than high-performance running.

How do I clean the mesh part of the shoe?

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth or a very mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbing to maintain the texture.

What does 'Light Iron Ore' refer to?

'Light Iron Ore' is the name of the primary colorway, featuring neutral tones complemented by Photon Dust, Flat Pewter, and Metallic Silver details.

Does the shoe have good grip?

Yes, it features a textured tread on the sole designed to provide traction on various surfaces for everyday use.

What is the main benefit of the mesh upper?

The loose-weave mesh provides enhanced breathability, keeping the foot cooler, and offers a contemporary textural element to the shoe's design.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort due to sizing

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider the fit characteristics; some users find this model runs true to size, while others suggest a half-size up for wider feet.

Suede material appears dull

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and appearance of the suede. For stubborn marks, consult specific suede cleaning products.

Mesh feels too loose or delicate

Handle with care during cleaning. Avoid excessive force. This material is chosen for breathability and texture; for heavy-duty activities, a different footwear model might be more suitable.
