Released in 2023, the V2K Run was designed to reference Nike’s early 2000s running catalog, specifically the Pegasus 25 and the Vomero 5. It represents a shift in fashion history where performance-oriented archival designs are repurposed for aesthetic consumption. The model gained cultural significance during the resurgence of tech-runner trends, serving as a bridge between heritage athletic engineering and modern streetwear.
