Description
The legendary comfort and responsiveness of Pegasus helps you shatter your goals with every run. This version retains the responsiveness and neutral support you love, but with more comfort in sensitive areas of the foot, like the arch and toes. Whether you're pounding out marathon miles, going for a speed run before the sun goes down, or going for a jogging with your buddies, this is the tried and true sneaker for running on the road, day after day.
Fit: neutral
The support offered by the shoe is a guarantee of stability for your natural stride. The combination of a snug fit and carefully targeted cushioning allows you to feel secure with every step. The Pegasus 40 guarantees a neutral fit. It offers a perfect balance for both heel and forefoot attack. Suitable for both short and long runs, it provides a smooth transition from heel to toe.
Cushioning: Medium
The thicker the underfoot cushioning, the smoother and more comfortable your stride. Cushioning helps absorb shock when your feet hit the ground. Get a better feel for the ground with Nike React technology. Made of lightweight, durable foam, it ensures a comfortable, responsive stride. It also retains its shape for a consistent feel, run after run.
Responsiveness: high
The more responsive the shoe, the greater the energy return with each step. If you want to run a little faster or with a little less effort, responsive shoes are ideal. They give you a little more bounce and allow you to get the most out of your run. We've combined Nike React technology with two Zoom Air units (in the forefoot and heel) for added responsiveness, rebound and a dynamic feel at impulse.
Compelling fit and comfort
The single-ply mesh provides a compelling fit and comfort. We redesigned the midfoot strap for a form-fitting fit that accommodates all types of arches.
What's new about the Pegasus 40?
To create the Pegasus 40, we took an inside-out approach, starting with a midfoot strap for a more secure fit without sacrificing flexibility, as if the shoe were hugging your foot. We wanted the inside of the shoe to be comfortable, breathable and flexible in the toe, arch and heel areas, where the foot is most sensitive, with a circular pattern designed to fit the shape of the foot. Suede provides a better fit without the risk of chafing, mile after mile.
