Women's Nike Pegasus

The Pegasus debuted in 1983 as a premium running shoe. Its original Air unit was perfect for shock absorption. The responsive technology meant that high-speed, long-distance runners could excel.

A Woman's Touch

The Pegasus has evolved over time, becoming the first shoe with female-focused construction. In 2004, the women’s Pegasus featured a more substantially curved saddle and better medial support. Cutting-edge Cushlon foam was engineered for a women’s stride in the 2018 update.

Performance Matters

Initially made for high-performance runners, the Pegasus line remains a top choice for marathon training. The sleek, slender profile is lightweight and snug around the foot. A partial bootie, resilient sockliner, and revolutionary Flywire cables connect the laces to the upper for a custom fit. The durable, engineered-mesh upper contributes to the lightweight quality while offering supreme ventilation for long, hard runs.

Balance is key to the design. It’s comfortable without the heavy bulk of traditional cushioning with a hard-working Zoom Air unit. The heel-to-toe, shock-absorbing mechanism works in a responsive nature — meaning less wasted energy. Cushlon ST is high-quality foam for cushion and performance. The aerodynamic heel found on most variations of the Pegasus offers Achilles support for smooth heel-to-toe movement with each stride.

Fit for All

For athletes in training, the Nike Zoom Air Pegasus Turbo 2 is a premium, slender, futuristic sneaker designed explicitly for marathon runs. It’s the first training shoe to feature long-distance-friendly racing foam. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 Turbo is built for speed, with a lightweight, multiuse top, and Nike Zoom X marathon foam. Runners and athletes who need a more versatile option may consider the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 34, with neutral cushioning support for fast movement. For more variety, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 has an array of sleek colorways, and it’s ideal for both serious runners and casual joggers. 

Finish It Off

The Pegasus is the right trainer to pair with any runner’s look. Style with Nike shorts or a performance T-shirt if you’re training in the heat, or layer over your gear with a fitted track jacket for cold-weather runs.
