Power Up Your PRs With the Nike Pegasus 41
While shiny race day shoes seem to be getting everyone a little hot under the collar right now, any competitive runner will tell you that the shoes you spend your training sessions in are even more important to get right. Since its launch in 1983, Nike’s franchise has proven itself as one of the most dependable workhorses of the running realm, with each iteration introducing improved tech to keep pace with the sport’s ever-evolving developments. Now, as running seems to be growing at breakneck speed, the Swoosh introduces the Nike .
Certain qualities define the Pegasus series, including its cushioning, fit and responsiveness, but there are always improvements to be made. Known to have an energetic ride already, Nike have upped the ante for the 41, doubling down on the responsiveness by introducing their new, full-length foam ReactX midsole, which provides 13 per cent more energy return compared to the foam in the Pegasus 40. Put simply, that means more bounce – it’s a shoe that’s cushioned, but still feels fast. And speaking of cushioning, Nike have also packed the Pegasus 41’s sole unit with Air units in both the forefoot and heel for an even more comfortable ride – something your feet will thank you for when you’re out covering kilometres.
Those already familiar with the franchise will also know that the Pegasus is renowned for its reliable fit. The 40 in particular was loved by runners and the Swoosh team. Instead of fixing what isn’t broken, the 41 has been engineered on the same last and features the same midfoot support and lining in the collar and tongue. But once again, Nike listened to runners’ feedback, and the Pegasus 41 now features a lighter and more breathable mesh upper than its predecessors, as well as a Dynamic Midfoot fit system that wraps around the foot for added support, reducing the risk of injury ahead of your race day or distance run.
The Nike Pegasus 41 is available now in three colourways: 'White/Dusty Cactus/Glacier Blue' (mens), 'Summit White/Bright Crimson' (womens) and the uber-energic 'Volt' (unisex). Hit the links to secure your size and get set to hit those new PRs.
