Running Back to Y2K: Meet the Nike P-6000

Jul 31, 2024

Retro running shoes are on top of the footwear world right now, and shoes like the Nike Vomero 5 are showing up everywhere with their 2000s-inspired styles. But the Vomero 5s aren’t the only retro-futurist kicks gaining traction (sorry not sorry). 

Behold the Nike P-6000, a stylish new take on the classic designs of old-school running shoes. It’s both a nod to nostalgia and a confident stride into the future — oh, and it’s absurdly comfortable. Here’s what you need to know about Nike P-6000s.

What’s up with the Nike P-6000?

Nike P-6000 sneakers are a modern remix of some of Nike’s greatest running shoes of the 2000s, specifically the Nike Pegasus series. The breathable mesh and ribbed overlay design of the classic Pegasus uppers get a contemporary facelift for the P-6000, while a chunky foam midsole gives you plenty of bounce. In short, Nike-P6000s are casual shoes that also feel great for running, or running shoes that also work in casual outfits — you get the idea. They’re a versatile footwear MVP that can quickly become the hardest-working pair of kicks in your closet.

How do Nike P-6000s feel on your feet?

How do Nike P-6000s feel on your feet?

In a word, heavenly. The consensus among practically everybody, from sneakerhead YouTubers to reviewers on Hibbett.com, is that Nike P-6000s are among the most comfortable shoes in their style and price range.

What’s going on inside P-6000s that makes them so comfy? Here’s the elements that work overtime to keep your feet happy:

  • Breathable mesh: The mesh upper maximizes airflow and minimizes the funk from sweaty feet after a long day.
  • Foam midsole: A pillowy foam midsole delivers the all-day comfort your feet deserve.
  • Lightweight materials: Thanks to the light synthetic materials of the Nike P-6000s, you might almost forget you’re wearing them sometimes. 
  • Full rubber outsole: Traction is a must for any running shoe, and the P-6000’s full rubber outsole makes sure your grip is locked in.

What styles and outfits look good with Nike P-6000s?

  • Y2K: P-6000s radiate the mid-2000s “dad shoe” aesthetic, so they’re a great pick for anybody who embraces the Y2K-chic look. Rock them with baggy jeans, a cropped baby tee, and an oversized denim jacket for a full-on throwback vibe.
  • Athleisure: These are running shoes, after all — so whether or not you spend your mornings at the track, Nike P-6000s are an outstanding match for any kind of athleisure wear. 
  • Streetwear Chic: The P-6000s are a natural fit for a streetwear vibe. Try them with a graphic tee and cargo pants for a classic look, and consider a hoodie or bomber jacket to complete the outfit and sharpen the contrasts. A baseball cap is a perfect way to top it all off.
  • Festival Fashion: The P-6000s are exactly the kind of comfy and versatile shoes that shine as festival footwear. Pair them with high-waisted shorts or a flowy dress for a comfortable and stylish look that can keep up with your all-day dancing.
