Nike Pegasus 42
Responsive full-length cushioning sculpted to energize an icon.
Responsive cushioning in the Pegasus 42 provides an energized 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.
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.

Nice effort, great shoe, needs more work
DeanM590386542
Fit is nice although varries often due to elasticity of laces. To secure them well without causing discomfort takes practice. Heal doesn't lock in. Far too few color/style options for wide. Mid-sole is great until 300 miles, then fades quickly.
Look and feel great. Best shoes I’ve tried.

I tried a lot of different running shoes and these were the most comfortable. They feel and look great. I hope Nike continues to offer their premium shoes in wide.
Great for supination

The Pegasus 42 is a very comfortable shoe, especially good for supination which I have, but it is not much wider than the normal version. I’d honestly say it’s literally like going up half a size in the normal version. Shame as it’s a great shoe
