I remember racing in the Mayfly’s back in high school and as a coach of HS XC & T&F I would talk about them all the time. When Nike decided to drop the Mayfly colorway in one of my favorite daily trainers I couldn’t have been more happier. I hope they keep this as a permanent option because I’ll buy them over and over again.

What's New?
- Based on feedback from everyday runners, we made the engineered mesh upper lighter and more breathable for increased comfort.
- For the first time in a Pegasus, the midsole is made from ReactX foam, increasing energy return by 13% and reducing the carbon footprint by at least 43%.
- A wider forefoot and heel provide a stable, springy platform and a responsive ride.
- We increased the stack heights in both the forefoot and heel for added cushioning and protection.


“The perfect balance of plush and responsive – like clouds with the right amount of bounce.”
