NIKE PEGASUS PREMIUM Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Premium Women's Running Shoes The Pegasus Premium supercharges responsive cushioning with a triple stack of Nike's most powerful running technologies: ZoomX foam, a sculpted Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam. It's the most responsive Pegasus ever, providing high energy return unlike any other. A lighter-than-air upper decreases weight and increases breathability so you can fly faster. Circular Knit Mesh Upper The upper of the Nike Pegasus Premium has been created from a circular knit fabric that's light and highly breathable, keeping feet cool and comfortable over long distances. Creating an inviting feel, the upper has increased stretch properties compared to previous Pegasus models, especially in areas of your feet that are most sensitive, such as the toes, arch, and heel. The added stretch moves with your foot for a comfortable shape and fit throughout the gait cycle. Nike has added perforations in the fabric to increase airflow, creating a healthier environment for your feet to thrive. When temperatures rise, the well-ventilated upper ensures constant cooling, allowing you to run easily. The shoes' wider forefoot creates more space for your toes while maintaining the shoe's fit to ensure increased comfort. Midfoot webbing provides a snug fit, whilst more foam in the tongue helps to cushion the top of the foot to reduce irritation. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system that locks down the midfoot, reduces in-shoe slippage and enhances support for distraction-free strides. Nike ReactX and ZoomX Midsole Providing you with soft, lightweight and durable foam, just like previous models of the Pegasus, the shoes utilise Nike ReactX, allowing you to get even closer to the ground without sacrificing comfort and speed. However, this updated foam will deliver the same feathery durability but with 13% more responsiveness, allowing you to push further for longer. ReactX foam reduces the carbon footprint of the midsole by at least 43% compared to previous Nike React foam, helping support the planet. The reactive nature of the midsole absorbs impact, then expels it for a bounce-like effect. Not only this, but Nike has also included a full-length ZoomX unit in the midsole. ZoomX delivers exceptional energy return, providing forward propulsion for natural, effortless strides that help to enhance your performance. The foam reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, further helping to prevent fatigue and enhance your running performance. The extra cushioning softens the impact, sparing your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infusing every stride with the kind of zealous power often elusive in the running world. Sandwiched between the two layers of foam is a full-length, visible sculpted Air Zoom unit that helps propel you forward like never before. Due to advanced technologies and rapid prototyping, Nike has improved the Air units, which change shape to resemble the foot and enhance efficiency. Both foams combine with pressurised air and internal fibres to deliver responsive cushioning that springs back fast, so you move faster. Waffle Outsole Produced using a waffle-inspired rubber outsole, the Pegasus Premium ensures extraordinary traction in varied conditions. The rubber has been modified and combined with high-abrasion rubber, providing a stronger grip on various surfaces whilst protecting itself from damage and users from losing control. The rubber is placed in high-wear areas, such as the forefoot and heel, to increase durability and resist the traumas of heel strikes, supplying you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. Wave-like flex grooves also feature on the outsole to supply added traction and flexibility underfoot.
