Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX Women's Running Shoes

Responsive cushioning in the Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX provides an energised ride for wet-weather road running. Experience lighter-weight energy return with dual Air Zoom units and a ReactX foam midsole. Plus a waterproof GORE-TEX upper and reflective details help you comfortably take on the elements.

Engineered Mesh Upper with GORE-TEX Membrane

The upper is made of an engineered mesh that's even lighter and more breathable than the Peg 40 to create an inviting feel and fit. The inner confines of the shoe are comfortable, a highly-tuned mesh provides a breathable and forgiving experience in the toes, arch and heel areas, which are most sensitive. The GORE-TEX materials provide protection, keeping your feet protected from rain and moisture in poor, changing weather, including snowy conditions. When temperatures rise, the well-ventilated upper ensures a constant cooling effect, pushing you through workouts easily. The mesh is designed to stretch with your foot for a comfortable shape and fit as you move throughout the gait cycle. Built with the same internal materials and padding as its predecessor, the Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX hugs your foot with an implemented midfoot band for a more secure but forgiving sensation. A wider forefoot creates more space for your toes, while maintaining the shoe's fit to ensure increased comfort. Midfoot webbing provides a snug fit, whilst more foam in the tongue helps to cushion the top of the foot to reduce irritation. Heathered material around the collar traps heat, keeping your ankle warm even when temperatures drop. Reflective details on the upper provide visibility in low-light conditions, morning or evening. Completing the upper is a lacing system that locks down the midfoot, reducing in-shoe slippage and enhancing support so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

Nike ReactX Midsole

Providing you with soft, lightweight and durable foam, the shoes utilise Nike ReactX so that you can get even closer to the ground without sacrificing comfort and speed. This, therefore, delivers you with feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. ReactX foam reduces the carbon footprint of the midsole by at least 43% compared to previous Nike React foam, helping support the planet. The reactive nature of this clever midsole material absorbs impact and expels it for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going longer. Soft, generous, and substantial, ReactX will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power that is often elusive in the running world. Embedded within the generous ReactX platform, and complementing its reactive nature, are two Zoom Air units - one in the forefoot and one in the heel. This low-profile midsole feature combines pressurised air with internal fibres to deliver responsive cushioning that springs back quickly, so you can move faster. Twice as big as previous versions, the unit delivers more bounce with every step. It's top-loaded to be closer to your foot for better responsiveness as you move through the gait cycle. Nike broadened the forefoot and heel width compared to the Peg 40. The extra room provides a stable, springy Zoom Air engine for that extra horsepower when needed.

Storm-Tread Outsole

Produced using a Storm-Tread rubber outsole, the Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX ensures extraordinary traction in wet weather conditions. The durable outsole provides a strong grip and protects itself from damage and users from slipping. The rubber is placed in high-wear areas such as the forefoot and heel to increase durability and resist heel strike trauma, providing you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. The rubber has been removed in the midfoot to reduce weight, further enhancing the lighter-than-air feel of this shoe. Wave-like flex grooves also feature on the outsole to supply added traction and flexibility underfoot.
