Nike’s Premium sneakers are among the brand’s most innovative and technical. Primarily, this series is used as a kind of proof-of-concept, high-end models through which the brand can showcase new innovations.
That also makes them somewhat divisive, as their high price and weight sometimes push them beyond consideration as serious trainers. Nonetheless, they are essential to The Swoosh’s ecosystem.
While these two new Premium versions of two of Nike’s most popular shoes won’t beat the pricing allegations, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the Nike x Melitta Baumeister sneakers, especially for lovers of craftsmanship.
“Run like no one is watching”
This collaboration comprises two sneakers, both of which are among Nike’s most popular and important models of the moment: the Pegasus and the Vomero. Also, as mentioned, they are the premium editions of these sneakers, making them the most high-end in the brand’s vertical rating system (the other two ranks being Plus and Icon).
For the most part, the shoes retain much of their signature elements. The Vomero, for example, still has the same maximum-cushioned outsole with its double Air Zoom units and ZoomX foam midsole. It also retains its breathable engineered mesh upper, durable waffle outsole and more.
