Nike Pegasus 42

$145

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.

Full-Length Air Zoom Unit

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 Midsole

ReactX foam is 13% more responsive than previous React technology.

Breathable Upper

Lightweight mesh is softer and more breathable than earlier iterations, helping your feet stay comfortable.

High-Abrasion Rubber Outsole

An updated Waffle outsole delivers traction and flexibility with high-abrasion rubber and flex grooves.

Wide Toe Box

We updated the fit to give you a little extra room at the toes and forefoot compared to the 41.

What's New?

  • Greater toe spring than previous model due to an updated silhouette that increases the curve of the toe box
  • Full-length Air Zoom unit compared to forefoot and heel Air Zoom units in previous models

    Best Pegasus I’ve own! And I’ve owned a lot over the years. I love the extra with on the toe box and the sole rocker on the front half of the sole too. Way different from the other models. Also, I love the stability this shoe gives for the ankles. Other models have too much “plushiness” to them making feel like I’m going to role my ankle on runs. 41yrs old, active rugby player, 6’1” 240lbs athletic built. This shoes perfect for short runs and sprints, which I do ALOT of.
