Nike Women's Pegasus 42 Running Shoes - Hyper Pink/Black/Laser Crimson

The Nike Women's Pegasus 42 Running Shoes – Hyper Pink/Black/Laser Crimson bring a more energized feel to one of Nike's most iconic daily trainers. Updated with a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit and responsive ReactX foam, the Pegasus 42 delivers smooth cushioning and propulsion from heel strike through toe-off.

The bold Hyper Pink/Black/Laser Crimson colorway brings high-energy style to daily miles, while an updated fit provides more room through the forefoot and toe box than the Pegasus 41. A softer, lightweight mesh upper improves breathability and comfort for everyday road running.

Full-Length Air Zoom + ReactX Cushioning

For the Pegasus 42, Nike replaces the separate heel and forefoot Air Zoom units of previous models with a full-length Air Zoom unit. Its curved shape is designed to provide a propulsive sensation throughout the stride, while increased toe spring helps create a smoother transition into toe-off.

The ReactX foam midsole complements the Air Zoom unit with responsive cushioning. According to Nike, ReactX foam is 13% more responsive than previous React technology, giving the Pegasus 42 an energetic feel suited to everyday training.

Underfoot, an updated Waffle outsole combines high-abrasion rubber with flex grooves for a balance of traction, durability, and natural flexibility on the road.
