Men's Pegasus Plus 2
A Livelier Everyday Pegasus
The Pegasus has long been Nike's do-it-all trainer. The Pegasus Plus 2 keeps that everyday role but swaps in ZoomX foam for a bouncier ride, making it a good pick for runners who want one shoe for easy days with some spring left for a quicker effort.
What's different in version 2: a curved Air Zoom unit is now exposed under the forefoot, the toe is more rocker-shaped, there's more room around the toes, and the Waffle outsole has a new diagonal pattern with flex grooves.
The Technology
ZoomX Foam
Nike's premium ZoomX foam makes up the midsole and gives the shoe its springy character.
Forefoot Air Zoom Unit
A curved, pressurized air pocket under the ball of the foot adds pop at toe-off. On this version you can see it from the outside.
Updated Upper
A lighter, airier mesh with a band around the midfoot to keep your foot centered, and a reshaped forefoot with more space for your toes.
Waffle Outsole
Nike's classic Waffle rubber, now in a diagonal layout with flex grooves so the shoe bends naturally with each stride. Reflective details help in low light.
Who This Shoe Is For
- Everyday runners who want more bounce than a standard daily trainer
- Pegasus fans ready to try a softer, springier version of a familiar shoe
- Runners building toward a 10K or half marathon who want one shoe for most of their training
- Neutral runners who don't need extra stability
