Nike’s Pegasus 42 Is Under $90 for a Limited Time

Shoe brands face a unique problem with their most popular models: How do you improve them without ruining what made them great in the first place? Nike faced that conundrum with its Pegasus, a vaunted training shoe that has been a top pick in the lineup for decades. For the shoe’s 42nd iteration, Nike aimed to make the Peg snappy and more responsive. We put this revamped workhorse through our wear testing program, and it earned the Runner’s World seal of approval—it’s still one of the best shoes Nike makes, and testers loved it.

The key detail is the new Air Zoom unit, which stretches from toe to heel in the 42 and replaces the separate forefoot and rearfoot units used in the 41. It’s paired with responsive ReactX foam (also used in the Structure 26 and Vomero 18, two of our other favorite Nike shoes) for a peppy feel underfoot.RW testers really appreciated the Peg’s comfortable ride and its impressive versatility. This is a shoe that can handle whatever kind of road run you’re up for. “It feels smooth, with a great rolling ride, but also supportive underfoot,” tester Molly Sunderlin said. She also noted the Peg’s comfy ride applies no matter the pace or distance.“It feels easy to run quickly in, but also like I can do a two-hour-long run without getting sore underfoot.”That’s the appeal of the Peg: This workhorse with wings helps you run at your best, day in and day out. Even in its 42nd iteration, it’s still winning over new fans, and you can’t beat the price.
