The Nike Pegasus series is poised for a historic year of innovation off the strength the Pegasus 41, which boasts ReactX Foam and Zoom Air at both fore-foot and heel, and the Pegasus Premium, a jaw-dropper that features the first-ever sculpted full-length Zoom Air inside ZoomX Foam. If you’re already excited, it might be too much to handle because Nike has a third model in the 2024 Pegasus line-up — the Pegasus Plus.
There was no mention of the Pegasus Plus model in Nike’s On Air presentation in Paris or any of their recent press releases. That said, we can assume the Pegasus Plus lands somewhere in-between the Pegasus 41 and Premium in terms of cushioning platforms, so we’ll do our best to break down the new model based on the five colorways revealed here.
Off the bat, there’s a clear connection to be made with 2018’s Zoom Pegasus Turbo. In fact, the connection is made obvious. “Pegasus Turbo” is featured at the forefoot of the bottom soles, while the year of the iconic running shoe’s release (2018) is printed behind the tongue. It’s two signature visual features are the thick racing stripe that spans toe to heel and the enlarged Swoosh that dips into the midsole; both return on the Pegasus Plus — the stripe via an additional fabric embroidered onto the Flyknit upper.
Cushioning & Tech Specs
The Nike Pegasus Plus is confirmed to feature ZoomX foam midsoles with stretchy Flyknit uppers. Flyknit allows for weight reduction and breathability, while ZoomX offers a much springier cushioned ride compared to previous Pegasus Turbo models. A size US 10 mens weights in at 245 grams/8.6 oz with a 10mm heel-to-toe drop.
