Nineteen-eighty-freakin’-three. That’s the long-ago year Nike released the first mythical Pegasus. And based on the discounted price of one of the shoe’s latest iterations, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in some sort of time warp. How else to explain the fact that Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Shields are just $78, 40 percent off the regular price of $130, at JackRabbit right now?

The deal is especially enticing given the fact that these particular Pegs are quite well suited to winter weather, not to mention spring showers. They feature a lightweight, water-repellent upper as well as a grippy rubber outsole with channels designed to shed water quickly, providing needed traction on roads dampened by snow, sleet or rain. A minimalistic, sock-like fit and reflective elements only add to the appeal.

Note: while sizing is limited on the black/voltage purple colorway, the grey/black colorway (shown above) is available in eight sizes. Shop now and you’ll have a reliable winter runner to carry you into the spring.
