Nike is About to Release Some Sweet Eagles-Themed Shoes to Kick off the Season
By Kevin Aquino
Nike is releasing a new colorway for the Air Zoom Pegasus 36, and it's catered to die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fans.
Yes, Philly, this shoe will let everyone know which team you're repping, with the team logo on the tongue as well as the back of the upper.
There are #Eagles "Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36” shoes coming out at Dick’s starting tomorrow.

Nike released the Pegasus 36 College Collection earlier this year, with school logos from the around nation branded on the shoes. The shoe brand's been red-hot with collaborations lately, including popular Netflix show Stranger Things and a team-up between Kyrie Irving and SpongeBob SquarePants.
Cleats aren't just a fashion statement on the field -- players such as Aaron Rodgers have rocked custom kicks to raise awareness for charities through the "My Cause, My Cleats" initiative, while Dwayne Haskins became the only NFL rookie in this year's class to sign an endorsement deal with Jordan Brand.
