The legendary comfort and responsiveness of the Pegasus help you smash all your goals. This version retains the responsiveness and neutral support you love, but with added comfort in sensitive areas of the foot, like the arch and toes.
The support provided by the shoe ensures stability for your natural stride. The combination of a snug fit and carefully targeted cushioning makes you feel secure with every step. The Pegasus 40 guarantees a neutral fit. It offers perfect balance for both heel and forefoot strikes. Suitable for short and long runs, it ensures a smooth transition from heel to toe.
The thicker the cushioning underfoot, the smoother and more comfortable your stride. Cushioning absorbs impact when your feet hit the ground. Enjoy enhanced ground feel with Nike React technology. Made from lightweight, durable foam, it ensures a comfortable and responsive ride. It also retains its shape for a consistent feel, run after run.
The more responsive the shoe, the greater the energy return with each step. For running a little faster or with a little less effort, responsive shoes are ideal. They provide a bit 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 increased responsiveness, bounce, and a dynamic feel with each push-off.
The single-layer mesh provides irresistible support and comfort. We've redesigned the midfoot strap for a fit that hugs the foot and accommodates all arch types.
What are the new features of the Pegasus 40?
To create the Pegasus 40, we took an inside-out approach, starting by placing a band across the midfoot for a more secure fit without sacrificing flexibility, as if the shoe were gently embracing your foot. We wanted the inside of the shoe to be comfortable, breathable, and flexible around the toes, arch, and heel—where the foot is most sensitive—with a circular pattern designed to conform to the shape of the foot.
