Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 Women's Trail Running Shoes

Spread your wings and see what nature brings as you chase pavements and earthy paths in the Nike Pegasus Trail 5. Now equipped with an ultra-responsive ReactX foam midsole, this shoe is soft on the road, stable on the trail and better for the environment. It's a true dual threat raring to cross the divide between dirt and drives.

Breathable Mesh Upper

Supplying your feet with a comfortable level of airflow, the Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 have strategically placed engineered mesh throughout the upper, which was designed using runner-informed data to provide you with a sturdy, lightweight and breathable feel. Alongside this, the shoes have tighter woven fabric placed across the toes to supply feet with an additional level of durability and protection from knocks, bumps and scrapes on the trail. The shoes have Flywire technology throughout the upper construction, which has been integrated into the midfoot band for total support, which also helps to keep your foot in place. This is controlled by the lacing system to supply feet with a locked-in and secure fit, preventing in-shoe slippage from occurring. Lastly, pull tabs at the heel assist in putting the shoes on and off.

Nike ReactX Midsole

A Nike ReactX unit resides in the midsole to deliver exceptional cushioning plus smooth responsiveness. To produce this midsole, Nike listened to the voice of the athlete. Their in-house sports research lab plugged footstrike data into a proprietary algorithm that determined how much cushioning was needed and where. They simulated testing on approximately one hundred possible shoe geometries to quickly determine the handful they knew would work best for most runners and then merged the science with an elegant design, intended to feel like a slipper on a mattress. The reactive nature of the midsole means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Soft, generous and substantial, React will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power that is often elusive in the running world. Nike ReactX foam is engineered to reduce its carbon footprint by at least 43% in a pair of midsoles due to reduced manufacturing process energy compared to prior Nike React foam.

Nike Trail ATC Outsole

The 5th generation of the Pegasus Trails utilises less rubber along the outsole, to provide you with a smoother transition from road to trail while preserving the ReactX midsole. This is present in the Nike Trail ATC outsole compound, providing you with high-abrasive comfort on an array of surfaces. Excellent grip and traction are provided on the varying surfaces of your trail running adventures, whilst the rubber wraps around the front of the shoes for optimising the durability of the shoes, keeping you confident and ready to tackle whatever the trail throws at you. The outsole has a generative traction pattern which is combined with the rubber in the forefoot, to provide optimum grip for the technical trails, whilst also maintaining a smooth ride for the road.
