First Look At Ohio State’s Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shoes
Update: Ohio State's Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 shoes were released on Wednesday morning. They retail for $129.99.
In what has become an annual tradition of sorts, Nike will release an Ohio State-themed sneaker in the weeks leading up to the 2022 college football season.
BuckeyesNow received an exclusive first look at the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 shoes, which are predominantly scarlet with scarlet laces, a white midsole and white Nike Swoosh on the sides.
The two-toned textured outsole transitions into a black front bumper with a subtle Nike Swoosh or "EST. 1972," which is when the company produced its first line of shoes. There's also a scarlet Swoosh on the back heel, which is slightly protruded.
Ohio State's primarily logo can be seen on the outer heel, while there's a Buckeye Leaf decal pattern and logo on the black insole – which, interestingly enough, goes against the athletic department's brand guidelines.
Last but not least, the name of the shoe is included on the left tongue, while "Ohio State Buckeyes" is printed on the right.
Other schools set to release the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39s this summer include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oregon State, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas and USC, among others.
All 32 NFL teams will get them, as well.
This marks the ninth straight year that Ohio State will release a new Nike shoe during the preseason, dating back to the Lunar TR1 Week Zero Collection in 2014. Like the previous iterations, the Pegasus 39 is expected to retail for $130 and hit stores in late August.
