■What is PEGASUS 42
The "NIKE PEGASUS 42" is the latest, 42nd iteration of NIKE's popular PEGASUS series, offering the best ride feel in the series. Since its debut in 1982, the PEGASUS series has evolved and is an iconic model that forms one of NIKE's three road running shoe categories (PEGASUS, VOMERO, STRUCTURE). The PEGASUS 42 harmoniously blends Air technology with high responsiveness and comfort, creating a lightweight shoe that excels in various scenarios. With a 15% improvement in energy return compared to its predecessor, the Pegasus 41, this model features a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit, allowing you to enjoy all types of runs, from jogging and fun runs to training sessions.
