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

  • Love!

    ariellewhatsup

    I absolutely love my Nike Pegasus 42s! I got the new pink ones (they have two shades of pink and lavender in them). They’re super comfy and lightweight. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on them. I plan to buy more pairs. 10/10!

    These are the most comfortable pair of trainers I have worn. They have a wide toe box and do not pinch my toes at all or cause blisters. I have bought a 2nd pair.

  • A++++ wider toe-box thank you :)

    Thank you so so so much for making the toe box wider!!! I have big wide feet and this makes the new pegs my dream shoe!

FAQ (9)

Who is the Pegasus 42 best suited for?

The Pegasus 42 is best suited for runners who want one shoe that can do it all. Built for everyday road running, it balances responsiveness with comfort and versatility.

What cushioning technology does the Pegasus 42 use?

The Pegasus 42 pairs ReactX foam with a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit for soft landings, smooth transitions and a ride that feels responsive and energized.

What is ReactX foam?

ReactX foam is a high-performance foam designed to feel soft, durable and 13% more responsive than previous React technology. It compresses on impact, rebounds quickly and helps keep the ride feeling energized underfoot.

How does the Pegasus 42 compare to earlier Pegasus models?

The Pegasus 42 delivers a smoother, more energized ride than the Pegasus 41 thanks to its curved, full-length Air Zoom unit and responsive ReactX foam. We also updated the fit, so there’s more room at the toes and forefoot compared to the 41.

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

We made the Pegasus 42 using a different last, also known as a foot-shaped form, than the Pegasus 41. This updated last allows for more room in the forefoot and toe box, helping the Pegasus 42 feel more accommodating while still offering a secure fit through the midfoot.

How versatile is the Pegasus 42 across different run types and paces?

Responsive cushioning in the Pegasus 42 helps energize every run, from easy miles to daily training.

How does the Pegasus 42 create a more propulsive feel at toe-off?

We sculpted our full-length Air Zoom unit to give it a slight curve. This helps create a springy, forward-moving sensation at toe-off. We also increased the curve of the toe box compared to the Pegasus 41, which allows for greater toe spring.

How breathable is the Pegasus 42 upper?

Lightweight mesh helps air circulate, creating a cool, comfortable feel when runs heat up or the miles start to stack.

How durable is the Pegasus 42 for consistent road use?

High-abrasion rubber on the outsole helps the Pegasus 42 deliver durable traction designed to withstand daily road running.
