Nike Pegasus 42
Responsive full-length cushioning sculpted to energise an icon.
Responsive cushioning in the Pegasus 42 provides an energised ride for everyday road runs. Experience power in every stride thanks to the propulsive feel of a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit and a ReactX foam midsole. An updated fit gives you more space in the forefoot and toe box.
We sculpted our full-length Air Zoom unit to deliver a propulsive feel and Nike's highest energy return from heel to toe-off.
The ReactX foam is 13% more responsive than previous React technology.
Lightweight mesh is softer and more breathable than earlier iterations, helping your feet stay comfortable.
An updated Waffle outsole delivers traction and flexibility with high-abrasion rubber and flex grooves.
We updated the fit to give you a little extra room at the toes and forefoot compared to the 41.

Great but fragile
S399303247 -
Nice pair of shoes, design, confort and support are good. Unfortunately, after only 3km of running the zoom air cell of the left shoes moved through the sole. The pair is now so assymetrical that it hurt my knee. Will try a new pair, can't give a better grade so far.
Great standing shoe
