Reliability: It's what the Pegasus series has been about- only minor updates and improvements have been put into the shoe as it updates every year. Like a new Zoom Air unit in the heel provides added responsiveness and protection upon footstrike, while a single layer engineered mesh with Dynamic Flywire offers a breathable, comfortable fit. 32 years, that's how many incarnations Nike has produced, that's how big a following the Pegasus has accumulated, and that's why it's been branched out to include the young athletes- because it's reliable and in for the long haul.

Internal Notched Bootie is constructed for a snug and secure fit.
Dynamic Flywire provides necessary support and unmatched fit while reducing the shoes overall weight.
EVA sockliner mimics the curvature of the heel and arch for increased comfort and support.
