    Avoid lime for active/sporty kids - the colour has turned an awful brown after less than a months wear on grass and paths etc - not in wet mud I must add! They are comfy, just look old before their time!

    Nike Pegasus 42 Big Kid's Road Running Shoes - Mar 19, 2026

    I wasn’t expecting to be this impressed, but the Pegasus 42s have become my kid’s absolute favorite pair. As part of the Nike Performance collection, these shoes have made a noticeable difference on the track. My kid’s stride looks more confident and the responsive cushioning gives that extra bounce when it counts most during races and drills. The lightweight foam sole provides my child with a springy, energized feel that translates really well at track practice. The extra room in the toe box compared to the previous version is great for growing feet, and after weeks of hard use, the soles are still holding up strong. My kid picks this shoe daily. Style combines with performance? Total win.

FAQ (9)

Who is the Pegasus 42 best suited for?

The Pegasus 42 is best suited for kids who love to move, whether that means daily runs after school or everyday play. It offers responsive cushioning for an energized ride that keeps up all day.

What cushioning technology does the Pegasus 42 use?

The Pegasus 42 pairs ReactX foam with a forefoot Air Zoom unit to deliver responsive cushioning and a springy underfoot feel.

How does the Pegasus 42 improve on earlier Pegasus models?

The Pegasus 42 builds on the responsiveness of the 41 thanks to the addition of ReactX foam. By moving the Air Zoom unit to the forefoot, we also helped improve toe-off compared to the 41. An updated fit adds a little extra room at the toes and forefoot.

How does the Pegasus 42 fit compare to earlier Pegasus models?

We updated the fit to provide more room at the forefoot and toe box, helping the Pegasus 42 feel more comfortable for kids who like a little extra wiggle room.

How much toe room should parents look for in the Pegasus 42?

A little room up front helps give toes space to move naturally while keeping the fit secure enough for running and play.

How breathable is the Pegasus 42 for active kids?

Lightweight mesh helps air circulate, creating a cool, comfortable feel through recess, daily runs and everything in between.

How durable is the Pegasus 42 for pavement and playground use?

The outsole of the Pegasus 42 is made with durable rubber, helping it hold up to play on paved surfaces or playgrounds.

Can kids wear the Pegasus 42 for running, school and everyday play?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 can be worn for running, playtime and everyday use. A lightweight, breathable upper, comfortable cushioning and durable traction make it an easy pick for active kids.

When should kids replace the Pegasus 42?

When cushioning starts to feel flat or the outsole shows clear wear, it’s usually time for a fresh pair to help keep every step feeling comfortable and supported.
