The 40th edition of Nike’s Iconic Road running shoe brings the Zoom Air units and React Foam from previous editions into a more forgivable and breathable upper.   

What’s New

Most of the update with the Women's Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40 occurs in the upper. Opting to begin with the midfoot Nike introduced a midfoot strap that wraps from underneath the arch to the top of foot. The strap provides more midfoot lock down while retaining a soft feel underneath the arch regardless of arch volume. Ultimately, the shoe hasn’t changed much from the 39th edition. If you enjoyed the 39th you will enjoy the 40th. 

Details 

As far as Nike's road shoes go this is probably their most well known running shoe. Everyday trainer, workhorse, reliable, introductory running shoe are all terms we would use to describe the Women's Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40. This is a high drop running shoe that works extremely well for those new and or getting back into running. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40 sits right in the middle of cushion and responsiveness. You can put in high mileage while retaining the ability to run at higher speeds. That is why we love the Nike Pegasus at 7000 Feet Running Company. It is truly the definition of an excellent all around road shoe and one utilized by Saldia runners from middle school into their 80s. 

Technologies 

• React Foam

Combining thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)  and EVA the Women’s Nike Air Zoom Pegasus is extremely flexible while retaining a high amount of impact damping in the moderate stacked forefoot. This blend of polymers has been a staple in Nike Running Footwear for many years. 

• Zoom Air Pods

Sitting beneath the forefoot and heel of the Women’s Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40 the Zoom Air Pods this technology utilizes pressurized air and tightly stretched woven fibers to dampen impact and return energy. 

• Outsole

Increased footstrike strike area in the heel for heel strike runners combined with a waffle designed rubber that provides excellent traction and grip on wet road days. Two sets of grooves have been placed onto the forefoot to provide improved flexibility and a larger range of flex points beneath the metatarsal pads. Overall the outsole is excellent on all types of hard surfaces, gravel and maintained dirt roads. 

• Upper

An engineered mesh common in many types of road running shoes, it is extremely breathable but differentiates from others with its circular weave pattern. This circular weave pattern allows the mesh to give and adapt with your foot shape without chafing and creating sore spots. This small change helps the Women’s Nike Air Zoom Pegasus feel comfortable from a 5k to a marathon. distance run.
