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.
Shaped to fit your foot, a full-length Air Zoom unit delivers 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.
Lighter than previous models, 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.

Love them just as much as I loved my 41’s

My first pair of Pegasus was the 41’s. I run 5 miles everyday and the 41’s were an absolute dream to use. Because of how much running I do, I unfortunately ran through them rather fast. I discovered Nike had launched the 42’s when I had logged in to buy a new pair of 41’s to replace my worn out ones. I am equally as happy with the 42’s. Fantastic running shoe all around. Highly recommend.
Fantastic under rated running shoe

Got these because I was having calf issues with my other shoes. These are super stable and have a high drop so help immensely. Not as soft as other shoes but they look after your legs and are really well made.
Good cushioning and great for running!

I got these shoes to start training my running as im preparing for an agility test. Have to say they are amazing and really cushion your feet when you're running or even just walking around. My feet dont hurt anymore after running or the next day. Im very satisfied with these shoes, I will definitely buy the same or the upgraded version when these give out. (Hopefully not soon lol)
