Wildcats Drip: You need these Kentucky shoes by Nike

The look of the season just dropped. Nike’s new Kentucky shoes are perfect for hitting the gym – or the stadium – and anything in between. Check them out. 

For fans of the Wildcats, there’s certainly no shortage of great looking Nike gear. You’ve got jerseys, hats, t-shirts, hoodies.

And don’t get me wrong – all those things are great. Essential, even. But for my money, the coolest gear drops every year towards the end of summer. The new Nike Air Zoom Pegasus running shoes.

This year is no different, with the release of the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Kentucky shoes.

Last year Nike released the Air Zoom Pegasus 38’s, which were another great addition to one of the best running shoe lines currently available.

They’re incredibly comfortable and durable, plus stylish and sleek. (Please note I did not own a college colorway, nor was a pair provided by Nike). Seriously, these things are perfect for hitting the gym, running across campus to get your seat at the stadium, or just everyday life.

This year, the Pegasus 39 is in full on team color. So each pair is vibrant – and everyone will know who you’re rooting for when they see you coming.

This year, some things have changed – but the end results are the same: an amazingly comfy shoe.

The Air Zoom Pegasus 39’s feature two Nike air bags, providing the wearer with optimal balance and comfort. The upper mesh is breathable to keep your feet cooler and in terms of a training shoe the Pegasus 38 is a very solid catch-all, weighing in at less than one pound (except for sizes 15+).

It will endure beyond your workout, too, providing enough flashy style to be your everyday footwear. The only gripe – and it is a small one – is that these can get wet quick if it’s really raining hard or you’re running through the elements.

These will not only be the perfect addition to your collection, but the perfect look for the rest of the year – and well into next. They’re definitely going to attract attention.

Please note: On Fanatics, the shoes are listed as unisex sizes. The same was true last year, but it is still a relatively new development. Previously, Nike had released both men’s and women’s versions of the shoes.

The company is looking to move away from that, meaning there’s a little more leg work involved (or foot work?) to figure out your size.

The good news? Just use the chart below.

Don’t wait. These sell fast every year. Head on over to Fanatics and get your order in today.
