Fit & Feel
Light, secure, and more accommodating through the forefoot. Nike redesigned the toe box for additional comfort while a streamlined, breathable mesh upper and midfoot containment band provide a secure performance fit.
Ride
Fast, bouncy, and propulsive. ZoomX foam delivers lightweight cushioning while the curved forefoot Air Zoom unit and increased toe spring help roll the runner smoothly forward, making the Pegasus Plus 2 especially capable when the pace increases.

Shoe Tech
UPPER


A streamlined mesh upper reduces bulk while providing lightweight breathability. The construction reveals an integrated midfoot containment band that securely holds the foot when running at faster paces.

MIDSOLE


Lightweight ZoomX foam combines with an exposed, curved Air Zoom unit in the forefoot for a highly responsive and energetic ride. Updated geometry increases toe spring to help create smoother, more propulsive transitions.

OUTSOLE


The updated Waffle outsole uses a diagonal traction pattern with sharp edges for improved zonal grip and ground feel. Added flex grooves allow the forefoot to move more naturally through transitions.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE NIKE PEGASUS PLUS 2?

Nike also added more toe spring, created a more accommodating forefoot, streamlined the upper, and redesigned the outsole with flex grooves.

HOW DOES THE PEGASUS PLUS 2 COMPARE TO THE ORIGINAL PEGASUS PLUS?

The Plus 2 also has a more accommodating toe box and redesigned upper and outsole.

WHO IS THE NIKE PEGASUS PLUS 2 BEST FOR?
