We are in the throes of a global running obsession. Run clubs, Strava, and an endless stream of striding streetwear brands have created a creative class that can’t get enough of stacked midsoles and breathable mesh. From the runway to the track, running is hotter than ever, turning Nike’s standard new silhouette rollouts into an even bigger event than usual.
The Pegasus Keeps Flying Higher
The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 is the latest advancement in running technology out of Beaverton’s racing lab, bringing The Swoosh’s top-tier cushioning and energy return systems to a new silhouette. Combining a curved Air Zoom bubble in the forefoot with a stack of ZoomX foam in the heel, the Pegasus Plus 2 features a thin, breathable mesh upper to match with large hole perforations in the middle of the side panels.
