Nike Pegasus Plus - Ultra-responsive cushioning for everyday speed
The Nike Pegasus Plus elevates everyday running with full-length ZoomX foam—Nike's lightest, most responsive cushioning. Built for runners seeking next-level energy return on daily training runs, this lightweight road shoe combines superlight ZoomX technology with a breathable Flyknit upper that adapts seamlessly to your foot.
Full-Length ZoomX for Maximum Energy Return
ZoomX foam spans the entire midsole, delivering Nike's highest energy return in a daily training platform. This ultra-responsive cushioning transforms impact into forward propulsion, maintaining that lively, energetic sensation throughout your run. At just 245g with a 10mm drop, it offers substantial energy return without unnecessary weight, keeping your legs fresh through consistent training weeks.
Adaptive Flyknit Upper
The Flyknit construction conforms naturally to your foot shape, creating a seamless, sock-like fit that eliminates pressure points. Strategic perforations throughout the upper reduce overall shoe weight whilst maximizing breathability—keeping feet cooler during sustained efforts and warmer conditions. A midfoot band provides containment and lockdown without restrictive tightness.
Built for Daily Performance
High-abrasion rubber covers the outsole in key contact zones, balancing responsive ground feel with dependable traction and durability for regular training mileage. Reflective details enhance visibility during early morning or evening sessions when natural light is limited.
