Nike Pegasus 42
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.

Addicted to Pegasus!

So, I am writing on behalf of my husband since I always order for him! I think he is addicted to his Pegasus sneakers. He has about 12 pairs & as soon as I see a different color he orders them. It’s always hard to find sneakers you especially when you wear size 15. He says they are extremely comfortable & the best sneakers he has owned. Take it from an all around athlete & former basketball players. You can’t go wrong.
Great Performance & Value

I bought my first pair of Pegasus 42’s earlier this year and have found them to be extremely comfortable, durable, great support and perfect for my runs, walks and workouts. I bought this second pair based on my personal delight with this product.

After first run they feel great so far like the wider toe box. The change in how the foam is spread across the foot bed is quite noticeable and welcome change. Solid training shoe
