Nike Pegasus Premium - Maximum energy return for speed-focused training

The Nike Pegasus Premium takes the legendary Pegasus platform to new performance heights with triple-layer cushioning technology. Combining ZoomX foam, a sculpted Air Zoom unit, and ReactX foam, this is Nike's most responsive Pegasus yet—delivering exceptional energy return paired with an ultralight, breathable upper for fast-paced training and racing.

Revolutionary Triple-Stack Technology

Three powerful cushioning systems work together to create unmatched responsiveness. ZoomX foam in the midsole provides lightweight, high-energy return, whilst ReactX foam in the heel adds durable cushioning and impact protection. A full-length sculpted Air Zoom unit spans heel to toe, allowing you to harness Air cushioning throughout your entire stride cycle—from initial contact through propulsion.

Lightweight, Breathable Construction

The circular knit upper keeps weight minimal whilst maximising airflow, maintaining foot comfort during sustained efforts and warmer conditions. This lighter-than-air construction reduces unnecessary bulk without compromising structure, allowing you to maintain speed without distraction.

Built for Speed and Durability

A modified Waffle outsole features high-abrasion rubber in key wear zones, balancing responsive ground feel with long-lasting durability. Reflective details enhance visibility during early morning or evening training sessions when light conditions are poor.

Is the Pegasus Premium right for you?

Designed for runners seeking maximum responsiveness from their everyday trainer. The Pegasus Premium suits those who want race-day energy return in a shoe durable enough for regular training miles—typically runners logging tempo runs, interval sessions, and faster-paced efforts multiple times weekly. It particularly benefits runners familiar with the standard Pegasus who want elevated performance, or those stepping up from traditional trainers seeking more propulsive cushioning. Whether you're training for competitive races, mixing speed work into your programme, or simply prefer a livelier, more responsive ride on your quality training days, the Pegasus Premium offers the energy return and lightweight performance that faster running demands.
