Nike Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX running shoes "Black & Anthracite"

As one of the oldest and most trusted running shoes in Nike’s extensive lineup, the Pegasus has long been known for offering a reliable balance of comfort, durability and accessibility. Since becoming a core franchise in the brand’s revamped running collection in late 2024, its focus has also encompassed responsive cushioning. As a result, the modern Pegasus series provides runners with a versatile combination of soft cushioning, hard-wearing longevity, solid stability and springy energy return for all types of daily training.

ReactX foam: Highly responsive foam enhances energy return while also being firm enough to ensure durability and stability. Manufactured using energy efficient methods, its carbon footprint is 43% lower than that of other midsole foams.

Zoom Air: Pressurised airbags filled with pressurised nitrogen gas and tensile fibres provide ultra-responsive support and highly effective shock absorption.

GORE-TEX: Waterproof yet breathable fabric provides protection against the elements for those running in wintery conditions.

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper integrates the waterproof material into a hard-wearing technical mesh, keeping the foot dry while also providing excellent durability.

Extensive no-sew panelling stretches from the forefoot to the heel, offering structural support, stability and a secure fit.

Uses the same MR-10 last shape as the previous iteration, which offers a snug and highly consistent fit that all runners can rely on.

Increased padding in the toe keeps the forefoot warm in colder weather.

Firm toe bumper protects the forefoot.

Well-padded collar and extra-plush, quilted tongue enhance comfort and help secure the foot.

Sturdy heel counter increases stability and contributes to lockdown.

Heathered collar design offers more warmth around the ankle.

Fully gusseted tongue holds the foot securely in place and helps keep water out.

Dynamic Midfoot Fit system connects an internal midfoot band to the lacing structure, wrapping the entire foot in a supportive embrace that creates outstanding containment and a comfortable, secure fit.

Textile tongue patch doubles up as an extended lace loop, thus keeping the laces secure and the tongue centred.

Extensive reflective elements placed across the upper to make the shoe highly visible when running at night.

Full-length ReactX foam is comfortable, durable and high in energy return, giving a responsive step. It is also far more sustainable to produce than traditional foams.

Foam stack is several millimetres higher than its predecessor, thus enhancing underfoot support and impact protection.

Zoom Air cushioning placed directly below the sockliner in both the forefoot and heel increases responsiveness and shock absorption for long miles of running.

10mm heel-to-toe drop gives a cushioned feel that favours heel strikers.

Wide base through forefoot and heel provide a stable platform for the foot.

Bevelled heel features a gentle curve that propels the foot energetically through to toe-off while maintaining a good level of stability.

High sidewalls increase lateral stability.

Storm Tread rubber outsole of interlocking, multidirectional triangular lugs has broad coverage, offering durable traction on roads and pavements in wet conditions.

Design of the micro grooves between the lugs helps to funnel water away from the outsole, thus improving wet-weather grip.

Large longitudinal groove improves flexibility and guides the foot through each step.

Moulded foam insole is plush and comfortable, supporting extended runs.

Insole can be removed for those needing bespoke orthotics.
