Pegasus Running Shoes & Trainers

Smash your training goals in our Pegasus 42 trainers. We've updated our iconic Pegasus series to give you your best-ever running shoe performance. Expect plush, cushioned support that helps protect your body. Up top, you'll find flexible uppers that promote a natural range of movement. Plus, our engineered materials ensure your footwear won't weigh you down. Our company journey began with a pair of running shoes. So, it's no surprise that empowering runners everywhere to achieve their potential is core to who we are.

Support where you need it

At the heart of our Nike Pegasus 42 running shoes is our acclaimed cushioning system. Our ReactX foam cradles and supports your foot throughout each stride and mile. We've also fitted Nike Pegasus series with full-length Air Zoom units. First, they soak up the impact of your movement. Then they snap back into place for a springy, propulsive feel. All of this helps create 15% more energy return compared to the previous generation of Pegasus footwear. That powers you forward into the next beat and onwards towards your goal.

Stay grounded

Runners everywhere know that great performance is built from the ground up. We design the outsoles for our Pegasus 42 running trainers to suit the surface you're running on. If you put in most of your miles on hard urban surfaces, pick out pairs with our signature waffle outsoles. They deliver grip and traction without weighing you down. Plus, we make them from durable rubber. That ensures your footwear will go the distance with you. Setting off to explore open country? Look for Pegasus 42 running shoes with deep directional treads. They keep you stable on slippery or uneven terrain.

Keep your cool

Because pushing your limits means working up a sweat, our Pegasus 42 trainers include pairs with mesh uppers. They promote good airflow around your feet. That helps you shed excess heat efficiently, so you can stay comfortable and focused for longer. Our engineered fibres are also stretchy and flexible, so your footwear moves with you and holds its shape. And thanks to our lightweight materials, your shoes will set you free to fly.

Head off the beaten track

Our range of Pegasus 42 trainers includes specialist trail-running pairs for rugged adventures. They're made with deep treads in the outsoles to help you stay stable on challenging terrain. At the ankle, snugly padded collars help prevent dirt and debris from getting into your shoe. Look out for pairs with weatherproof GORE-TEX uppers. They keep your feet dry for lasting comfort, mile after mile.

The future of sport

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. To join us, choose Pegasus 42 running shoes with our Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill. Plus, since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste.
