Men's Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40

Nike Pegasus 40

Men's Road Running Shoes
A springy ride for any run, the Peg’s familiar, just-for-you feel returns to help you accomplish your goals. This milestone version has the same responsiveness you love, but with better comfort in those sensitive areas of your foot, like the arch and toes. Whether you’re logging long marathon miles, squeezing in a speed session before the sun goes down or hopping into a spontaneous group jaunt, it’s still the established road runner you can put your faith in, day after day, run after run.

Support: Neutral
The more supportive the shoe, the more stability it can give to your natural stride. A combination of tuned support and intentionally placed cushioning helps you feel secure with every step. The Peg 40 has neutral support. It gives you balance, whether you're a heel or forefoot striker. It's good for long and short runs, too, providing a smooth transition from heel to toe.

Cushioning: Medium
The more cushioning that you have underfoot, the softer and more comfortable your running experience can be. Cushioning helps soften impact as your feet hit the ground. Feel connected to the ground with Nike React technology, a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a smooth, responsive ride. It holds its shape run after run to give you a consistent feeling.

Responsiveness: High
The more responsive the shoe, the more energy return you can get back with each step. Whether you want to run a little bit faster or with a little less effort, responsive shoes help give you slightly more spring in your step to get more out of your run. We paired Nike React technology with 2 Zoom Air units (1 in the forefoot and the heel) to give you a bouncy, springy sensation and an energized feel at toe-off.

What's New About the Peg 40?
We increased the foam around the collar for better fit and comfort. Then we improved internal linings and padding throughout for an incredibly smooth fit.

Inviting Fit and Feel
A highly tuned single layer mesh creates an inviting feel and fit. We redesigned the mid-foot strap for a more molded fit to the foot, shaped for all sized arches.

Behind the Design
When we sat down to design the Peg 40, we took an inside-out, approach, literally, starting with an implemented mid-foot band for a more secure, but forgiving sensation, like the Peg is giving your arch a welcoming, gentle hug. We wanted to make the inner confines of the shoe comfortable, breathable and forgiving in the toes, arch and heel, where your feet are most sensitive, with an engineered circular pattern that allows it to conform to your foot. Suede material allows it to provide better fit without irritation, from your 1st run to last run. Heel area optimizes the landing space and improves transition and durability. Waffle-inspired pattern provides traction for the road. An extra flex groove offers a smooth toe-off.
