The Pegasus is Nike’s most popular running shoe and is the culmination of 30 years development offering runners who require neutral or slightly under-pronating lightweight cushioned shoe. The Nike+ Pegasus 27 shoe came into the marketplace in the summer of 2010 in gender specific versions and sees updates to both the upper and sole unit. The sole of the Nike+ Pegasus 27 shoe comprises of a Nike Air unit in the heal to absorb the impact, midsole of of Chuslon which is developed by Nike and is a resilient foam that springs back to into shape to provide the best possible shock absoption. The area under the heel is broken is gender specific pods to take away the impact from the rest of the foot and the rigidity from heel to forefoot is rigid enough to keep a good natural position.
Due to the body mass the forefoot has deep groves to allow flexibility the female version of being deeper due women’s body mass being less. The sole is made from Nike BRS1000 carbon rubber to ensure good grip and reduce the deterioration of the sole. There is also a removable Dual layer Ortholite sockliner that adds extra cushioning right under the foot.
The Nike+ Pegasus 2 is proving to be a well rounded running shoe that’s ideal for the average neutral or slightly under-pronating runner and that seems reliable even in the wet, though it’s not been tested in snow or ice. The Nike+ Pegasus 2 is available gender specific and ideal for everyday training.
