Full Description
The Nike Pegasus 41 is a staple neutral daily trainer designed for runners of all levels, combining reliable performance with everyday comfort. It introduces a major update to the franchise by incorporating full-length Nike ReactX foam in the midsole, which increases energy return by over 13% compared to the previous React foam while reducing the midsole's carbon footprint. The upper features an engineered mesh that improves breathability and wraps the foot securely for a supportive fit. Dual Air Zoom units in the forefoot and heel work in tandem with the new foam to deliver a springy, energized ride. With a durable rubber outsole patterned for traction on road surfaces, the Pegasus 41 continues its legacy as a versatile workhorse running shoe.
