The Pegasus Premium sneaker model by Nike is a newly elevated iteration of the iconic silhouette. The spotlight hits the brand’s Air technology as it is optimized to provide comfort and sculpture to the silhouette. The shoes are designed to naturally contour the profile of the foot as the sculpted Air Zoom unit can carry the runner’s power from the base of the heel to the toe. As a result of this, it provides springy and smooth feedback from the Air Zoom unit. Other details include the ZoomX foam integrated into the midsole with the ReactX foam at the heel.
Kathy Gomez, Nike VP NXT Footwear explains “Air is Nike’s separator in the footwear industry — no one can create cushioning innovations like we can. In running, when we combine Air with components like midfoot plates and with platforms like our proprietary foams, we create superior systems for performance. For the Pegasus Premium, we wanted runners to get the most energy return possible out of the sculpted Air Zoom unit. Not only does it double as a spring-like mechanism, the Air unit is also designed to engage with the entirety of your foot, no matter your gait pattern or stride length.”
