Nike Air Zoom Pegasus

Known as the workhorse with wings, the Nike Pegasus has been trusted by runners for more than four decades. The first Nike Pegasus was released in 1983. 2024 sees the release of the 41st version of the legendary Nike running shoe. While it’s fair to say it’s changed considerably over these years, the Pegasus has always been designed to deliver responsive cushioning for daily miles. Whether you're tackling some hill sprints, meeting up with your local run club or heading out on a long Sunday marathon training run, the Pegasus is there to support you. Updated with a new full-length ReactX foam midsole, the Nike Pegasus 41 is designed to deliver the same solid, stable, comfortably cushioned ride that Pegasus fans love – with even more bounce and responsiveness. The ReactX foam provides over 13% more energy return than the React foam used in the Pegasus 40. This, paired with the forefoot and heel Air Zoom units, provides a highly energised ride for everyday road running. The new ReactX foam not only enhances responsiveness, but also improves sustainability. Reduced energy consumption in the manufacturing process of ReactX foam reduces Nike’s carbon footprint in a pair of midsoles by at least 43%, compared to React foam. Another notable update to the Pegasus 41 is the upgraded engineered mesh upper, which is lighter, more breathable and more comfortable than previous versions. A new Dynamic Midfoot Fit system helps with support, durability and comfort. The Pegasus continues to deliver a protective, yet responsive underfoot feel. Perfect for runners looking for running shoes that perform over a range of paces. At Run4It, we position the Nike Pegasus in our Connected Experience category as it offers maximum versatility. If you’re looking for a daily mileage Nike running shoe with a softer and bouncier underfoot experience, we recommend the Nike Invincible. The PEBAX based midsole feels incredibly cushioned to run in. Alternatively, the Nike Zoom Fly combines ZoomX foam and a full-length carbon fibre plate for extra propulsion across a range of speeds.
