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 units in previous models

Great support for road/sidewalk miles!
juan611May 24, 2026
Bought these to replace my Pegasus 41s that I love but have too many miles on them. Received these and took them out for a short walk/jog to see they needed a break in but they were fine! Great support for my after work and weekend neighborhood activities. I mainly run on sidewalks or street so cushioning and responsiveness is most important, and these meet the needs. For reference, I’m in late 40a lot a bunch of weight so have mild joint issues if I don’t have correct footwear. Highly recommend these!
Neigh! Return of the workhorse.

The Pegasus 42 is the first version I’ve run in since the 39 and it feels like a real return to form. It’s a proper workhorse, not a super shoe, that expects you to put the effort in, but once you find the rhythm it gets you clip-clopping along like a happy little thoroughbred. Smooth, steady, and weirdly addictive!
