The Nike Pegasus 40 "NCAA" men's shoes drop August 3 at Hibbett | City Gear.

Forty years. That's a ridiculously long time for a sneaker to be in the spotlight, but that's how long the Nike Pegasus has dominated the running world. Now, as we prepare to celebrate the Ruby Jubilee of the original Mark Parker design, it's time to revolutionize things ever further.

The Nike Pegasus 40 is an amalgam of all the best tech Nike has developed throughout the years. This springy road runner comes with neutral support, medium cushioning and high responsiveness so you can use it for training sessions and races alike. And best of all, it's dropping in men's sizes in six different colorways to support some of the NCAA's best: "UNC," "Tennessee," "Ohio State," "Kentucky," "Georgia" and "Alabama." Catch them all on August 3.

The feature that unites all of these shoes is a single-layer white mesh base. They all also come with a midfoot strap that gives you a more secure fit, crafted out of various colors of suede. Nike React technology, two Zoom Air units and a waffle-inspired tread pattern with an extra flex groove help you compete.

Otherwise, the difference is in the details. Each shoe uses its titular school's primary colors in the design. For the UNC shoe, that includes Valor Blue on the Swoosh outline on the side panel, collar and laces, as well as College Navy on the suede eyestays and tongue. You also can't miss the tiny Tarheels logo at the lateral heel.

The Tennessee kick has a Wolf Grey Swoosh and Bright Ceramic detailing on the tongue and lateral heel logo. In true Buckeye fashion, the Ohio State version has a University Red Swoosh and Pewter Grey eyestay and tongue.

Moving to the Kentucky shoe, you'll see a mix of Wolf Grey Swoosh and Team Royal tongue. The Georgia shoe uses black for the Swoosh and University Red for the other details, while the Alabama shoe has a Team Crimson Swoosh with Night Silver alternate detailing.

You can't miss out wearing these with your favorite college athletic gear — think matching shorts and T-shirt.

No matter which school you're a fan of, the Nike Pegasus 40 can help you show your support while also getting your run in. Grab it in men's sizes in the following colorways starting Aug. 3, online or at your local Hibbett | City Gear:
