The History of the Nike P-6000
The Nike P-6000 first appeared on the scene in 2019, designed as a homage to the Nike Pegasus 25 and Nike Pegasus 2006, two iconic running shoes. The blend of running DNA with a Y2K aesthetic quickly captured the attention of sneaker enthusiasts worldwide.
While its design draws clear inspiration from the past, the P-6000 also offers modern comfort and performance. The upper is constructed from mesh with both horizontal and vertical overlays, creating a distinctive, retro look.
While its not built with cutting-edge performance technology, its equipped with a lightweight foam midsole, durable rubber outsole with a waffle-inspired tread, and extra padding in the collar and tongue for improved ankle support and comfort.

Can you run in Nike P-6000 sneakers?
While Nike P-6000 sneakers have a sporty appearance and take inspiration from running models, they were originally designed as lifestyle shoes rather than dedicated running shoes. The cushioning and support are not sufficient for intense running sessions.
What materials are Nike P-6000 sneakers made of?
Nike P-6000 sneakers are crafted from a combination of materials. The upper consists of layers of leather and mesh, and some designs may include suede overlays. The midsole is made from Nike foam, and the sole from durable rubber.
Are Nike P-6000 sneakers water-resistant?
Nike P-6000 sneakers do not have specific water-resistant properties. While the shoe's upper may be somewhat water-repellent due to materials like leather or synthetic textiles, it is not completely waterproof.
How to tell if Nike P-6000 are fake?
You don't recognise fake P-6000 by one fixed indicator. In fact, it is a combination of indicators that vary from pair to pair. However, you can use these indicators to virtually determine whether a pair of P-6000 are genuine:
Material and colour, stitching, smell (fakes might have a strong chemical odour), weight (fakes tend to be lighter than the real thing), placement of the Swoosh, shape of the heel, discrepancies on the tongue, nose, insole and outsole, errors on the size label, incorrect product code (SKU), flimsy or faded packaging, lack of or discrepancies in accessories and, finally, judging prices and sellers.
How do you clean Nike P-6000?
A P-6000 should be cleaned by hand. For the best results, remove the laces, then use a toothbrush to remove obvious dirt from the surface. Mix a mild detergent with some water and use a sponge or cloth to gently scrub harder stains. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the residue, then let them air-dry.
For a smelly sneaker, you can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoe, then leave overnight. The powder will absorb moisture and neutralise the smell. Shake out the excess before wearing again. Alternatively, you can use silica gel or activated charcoal bags for the same results.
Laces can be cleaned with a mild detergent and rinsed afterwards, or you can put white laces in a 1:5 bleach and water solution for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
In addition, we do not recommend putting your shoes in the washing machine. Sneakers made of leather and suede can come out damaged. With shoes made of canvas or cotton, the risk is less, but the chance of damaged sneakers remains. So we recommend always washing your sneakers by hand. If you do put them in the washing machine, then place the shoes in an old pillowcase beforehand.
