Nike Pegasus Plus 2 Running Shoes - ZoomX Foam and Exposed Air Zoom for Next-Level Responsiveness

Take responsive cushioning to the next level. The Pegasus Plus 2 delivers even higher energy return than its predecessor with superlight ZoomX foam and an exposed forefoot Air Zoom unit for a propulsive, energised ride across everyday runs. Updated accommodating fit, breathable streamlined upper, and improved Waffle outsole.

ZoomX Foam with Exposed Forefoot Air Zoom

Superlight ZoomX foam pairs with an exposed, curved Air Zoom unit in the forefoot for a more propulsive and energised sensation than the previous version. The exposed Air Zoom unit delivers more energy return directly at toe-off, where it matters most during everyday running. Updated silhouette delivers more toe spring thanks to a greater curve at the toe box, enhancing forward momentum throughout the stride.

Streamlined Upper with Midfoot Containment

Streamlined mesh upper reveals the midfoot containment band for a secure, speed-ready fit with breathable lightweight material throughout. Modified forefoot shape provides a more comfortable fit around the toes — an accommodating update that suits runners who found the previous version less forgiving in the forefoot.

Updated Waffle Outsole

Updated Waffle design features a diagonal pattern with sharp edges for improved zonal traction and ground feel. Flex grooves add flexibility throughout for natural foot movement during daily training.
