Pegasus Turbo

The debut of the Nike Pegasus Turbo in 2018 represented a significant moment in the realm of athletic footwear. This groundbreaking shoe earned acclaim for its remarkable lightweight construction and agility, made possible by the innovative fusion of ZoomX and React midsoles. An especially noteworthy feature was its introduction of the Air Wedge, an exclusive heel-based Air unit aimed at enhancing shock absorption by 12 percent compared to conventional EVA wedges. This innovation was originally documented in a Nike catalog dating back to October 1982. While it was initially referred to as the Air Wedge Trainer during its development, the Pegasus Turbo gradually evolved into a symbol of dependability, durability, and comfort, firmly establishing itself as one of Nike’s flagship offerings.

Over the course of 40 iterations, it has garnered a dedicated following and consistently receives praise as one of the most sought-after running shoes. The Nike Pegasus encompasses all the essential elements that have made it a favorite among runners: exceptional midsole cushioning for unmatched comfort, a resilient rubber outsole designed for long-lasting performance, and a breathable mesh upper to maintain cool, dry feet. Engineered for runners with a neutral pronation, it combines specially crafted mesh with strategic overlays and leverages Nike Flywire technology to deliver the stability and breathability demanded by active athletes.
