This shoe is comfortable and fits true to size. I definitely recommend this shoe for people with lower back and hip pain. It has helped make my walking more comfortable.

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.

Not for road running
Jennifer
I have been running on Pegasus for years. The models through number 41 were durable. This model barely lasted three weeks before the cushion gave out so much it was hurting my joints on longer runs. After barely a month of running about 25 mi/week, I need to replace them. If you run on the road, I do not recommend the Pegasus 42.
Perfect but not true to size

Amazing shoe but they aren’t true to size. PLEASE go 1/2 (half) size up from your usual size. Just like the Infinity RN 4!

The Pegasus 42 is best suited for runners who want one shoe that can do it all. Built for everyday road running, it balances responsiveness with comfort and versatility.
The Pegasus 42 pairs ReactX foam with a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit for soft landings, smooth transitions and a ride that feels responsive and energized.
ReactX foam is a high-performance foam designed to feel soft, durable and 13% more responsive than previous React technology. It compresses on impact, rebounds quickly and helps keep the ride feeling energized underfoot.
The Pegasus 42 delivers a smoother, more energized ride than the Pegasus 41 thanks to its curved, full-length Air Zoom unit and responsive ReactX foam. We also updated the fit, so there’s more room at the toes and forefoot compared to the 41.
We made the Pegasus 42 using a different last, also known as a foot-shaped form, than the Pegasus 41. This updated last allows for more room in the forefoot and toe box, helping the Pegasus 42 feel more accommodating while still offering a secure fit through the midfoot.
Responsive cushioning in the Pegasus 42 helps energize every run, from easy miles to daily training.
We sculpted our full-length Air Zoom unit to give it a slight curve. This helps create a springy, forward-moving sensation at toe-off. We also increased the curve of the toe box compared to the Pegasus 41, which allows for greater toe spring.
Lightweight mesh helps air circulate, creating a cool, comfortable feel when runs heat up or the miles start to stack.
High-abrasion rubber on the outsole helps the Pegasus 42 deliver durable traction designed to withstand daily road running.
