Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult male runners, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 trainers offer enhanced comfort and performance for daily training. The key benefit is a smoother, more energized ride thanks to a full-length Air Zoom unit and improved cushioning. A potential caveat is the updated fit, which offers more room and may feel different to those accustomed to previous models.

FAQs

Are the Nike Pegasus 42 suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Pegasus 42 is designed as a daily trainer and provides excellent cushioning and comfort, making it suitable for marathon training, especially for longer, easier runs.

What is the main difference between the Pegasus 42 and previous models?

The Pegasus 42 features a full-length Air Zoom unit (replacing separate forefoot and heel units), a softer and more breathable mesh upper, ReactX foam for increased responsiveness, and an updated, roomier fit in the toe box and forefoot.

How do I clean my Pegasus 42 trainers?

Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. Clean with mild soap and cold water using a soft cloth or brush. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Is the sizing different on the Pegasus 42?

Nike has updated the fit to provide more room in the toes and forefoot compared to the Pegasus 41. It's recommended to try them on if possible or refer to Nike's sizing chart.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Pegasus 42 features a waffle outsole designed for road running and light trails. For technical or muddy trails, a shoe with a more aggressive lug pattern would be more suitable.

What is the weight of the Nike Pegasus 42?

The Nike Pegasus 42 weighs approximately 300g (for a men's size 9).

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel offset (drop) for the Nike Pegasus 42 is 10mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight in the toe box

The Pegasus 42 has an updated, roomier fit. Ensure you have the correct size. If still uncomfortable, consider using thinner socks or exploring other Nike models with a narrower fit.

Reduced responsiveness after initial use

Running shoes naturally break in. The initial responsiveness may slightly decrease as the foam settles. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as debris can affect performance.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

The waffle outsole offers good traction, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. For consistently wet conditions, consider shoes with more aggressive tread patterns.

Discomfort or blisters after a run

This can be due to fit, socks, or the break-in period. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists after several runs, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth and energized ride with significant energy return.
  • Improved comfort due to softer, more breathable mesh upper.
  • Enhanced cushioning and responsiveness from ReactX foam.
  • Better traction and flexibility from the updated outsole design.
  • More spacious fit in the forefoot and toe box.

Cons

  • The new fit may require an adjustment period for long-time Pegasus users.
  • While improved, breathability might not be sufficient for extremely hot climates.
  • The focus on daily training might mean less specialized support for intense speedwork or racing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box; no specific setup is required. They are compatible with most running terrains, including roads, treadmills, and light trails. To care for your Pegasus 42 trainers, we recommend the following:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Rotation: For optimal longevity and performance, consider rotating your Pegasus trainers with another pair of shoes if you run frequently.
