Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 Running Shoes
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 is built for runners at every level, whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out. This update features a breathable mesh upper with an out-turned collar for Achilles comfort. Down below, a full-length Zoom Air unit is housed in premium Cushlon foam, swept into a bevelled heel for an insane equilibrium of softness, responsiveness and speed.
Engineered Mesh Upper
Engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in seamless comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Flywire cables integrate with the laces to wrap the midfoot and arch in a dynamic fit, helping to anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. A partial bootie construction swathes the foot in snug, sock-like comfort, reducing the risk of rubbing and blisters; because we know how those can ruin your day. Notches at the tongue make for easy on-and-off, plus a tapered heel collar increases comfort around the Achilles tendon. The bottom eyelet has been moved up to open up the forefoot flex zone, promoting natural splay and therefore a more efficient push-off. A reflective strip completes the upper, splashed across the heel to increase your visibility to passing vehicles and keep you safe on those low-light adventures.
Zoom Air Midsole
A high-resiliency sockliner lies atop a feathery midsole as an extra layer of step-in, anatomical comfort and lightweight support. Premium Cushlon ST foam makes up the main midsole; this soft and springy platform of responsiveness helps to attenuate shock, sparing your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Embedded within the generous Cushlon platform, and complementing its reactive nature, is a full-length Zoom Air unit. This low-profile midsole feature combines pressurised air with internal fibres to deliver responsive cushioning that springs back fast, so you can move faster.
Rubber Outsole
Duralon covers the forefoot to enhance cushioning whilst supplying soft, sticky grip. The lightweight, blown synthetic rubber compound incorporates tiny air pockets to create a smooth, pillowy ride. Waffle pistons adorn the outsole to increase shock absorption while providing multi-surface traction. The lugs have been elongated for a more efficient roll off; they reduce the amount of time the foot is on the ground, yielding snappy responsiveness. A rubber crash rail on the lateral side of the outsole acts as a durable cushioning device at contact; segmented to enhance flexibility, it encourages an even transition from heel-strike through to toe-off. To improve grip, grooves have been cut from the crash rail; horizontal-facing, they produce a stable base with increased traction. Small cutouts across the outsole expose the midsole foam to create a type of flex groove, promoting natural foot flexion whilst reducing weight. The heel is bevelled to optimise the initial touchdown, promoting a smooth transition to midstance. High-abrasion rubber at the rearfoot adds durability, resisting the traumas of ground-contact to provide you with reliable grip. For the athletes who crave ultra-responsive cushioning and a quick, smooth transition, choose the Air Zoom Pegasus 35.
