I want a good pair of classic-ish running sneakers. Looking at the Nike Air Pegasus 83 and 89

Here's the Air Pegasus 89 in a black/gray colorway:

here's the Air Pegasus 83 in an all-leather gray colorway:

I like the design, and the color, but I think I want one of the classic nylon pairs? Here's another gray/black Air Pegasus 83, but with the nylon body (not sure how i feel about black/gold, or the marbling):

Writer for Complex Sneakers here. Please tell me you went with the 89s! They'll age the best and always be wearable.

I still love the 89s and might get em but this round I went with some Internationalists in black/silver

I'm interested to see these styled.

Nike Internationalist has the '83 Pegasus sole with slightly different upper. I like the white/blue/silver color and it's mostly nylon:

Yo Max, I'm rockin the Black/ Grey Air Pegasus 83 Right now son! Mine doesn't have the marbling just a solid Grey. Yo the all-leather Grey colorway is Sick! I want those too! Both 89 and 83 are dope but 83 > 89

Cortez always works. Blue or black canvas. Swap in white laces. $65

Adidas Element Refine Tricot - Easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Under $50

Saucony Jazz in black. $40 or so.

The Cortez is nice but I don't think I could pull off the Adidas and the Sauconys bring back too many memories of high school
