Nike
Pegasus 42
The workhorse gets a full-length Air Zoom unit and extra forefoot foam: a lively, dependable everyday trainer that handles easy runs and the odd tempo without fuss.
What's new: Swaps the Pegasus 41's two Air Zoom units for a full-length curved Air Zoom plate and a roomier, more anatomical fit. Same ReactX foam, stack and 10 mm drop.
