Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 42 White

A plain white Pegasus 42 is a practical thing as well as a clean one: it works for running, for the gym, and for the walk there and back without looking like gear. White shows wear honestly, so treat the first fortnight as a grace period. What does not change is the ride, the current generation of Nike's most-bought trainer.

ReactX foam handles the cushioning across the full length of the shoe, resilient enough for daily volume and lively enough that easy runs do not feel dead. Air Zoom units at the heel and forefoot add rebound through the transition. The 42's upper holds the midfoot more precisely than previous versions, and the outsole rubber is mapped sensibly for road use.
