What's new
From 41 to 42
The Pegasus has always been Nike's workhorse. The 42 changes the formula.
For the first time in Pegasus history, a curved, full-length Air Zoom unit runs heel to toe. It mirrors the geometry from Nike's elite marathon racers. Every step gets a responsive push.
ReactX foam replaces the old React. 15% more energy return than the Pegasus 41. The carbon footprint drops 43%.
The upper gets roomier. More space across the toes means natural splay. 3mm of extra forefoot cushioning takes the edge off long miles.

Questions
Before you buy
Is the wider toe box noticeable?
Yes. The 42 has a roomier forefoot than the 41, giving your toes more room to splay naturally. If you found the 41 snug across the toe box, the 42 should fit better. Most runners notice the difference within the first mile.
What's the return policy?
30-day returns on all unworn shoes. Try them on at home. If they don't work for you, send them back for a full refund. No restocking fees.
How long does shipping take?
Free shipping on orders over $120. Most US orders arrive in 3-5 business days. International delivery times vary by destination.
