Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 (Extra Wide) Men

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 (Extra Wide) are neutral, all-round running shoes. The Pegasus is Nike's oldest running shoe model. It is also one of the most popular. The shoes are ideal for your daily run, but are also great for an endurance run. The versatility allows you to run comfortably at a slower or moderate pace for your recovery runs, but also allows you to pick up the pace during your workouts without worry. The new Pegasus 39 has stayed fairly true to the classic look of the Pegasus. The shoe is lighter on the upper than the Pegasus 38 and is ideal for all-season wear. The shoe offers a supportive feel to keep your foot in place.

Extra padding at the tongue and collar keeps your feet comfortable. The mesh upper keeps your feet cool while you run your miles. Nike placed a special mesh on the upper, which is stronger and more flexible than regular mesh, for a light feel and ventilation. The midsole is Nike React, a light, strong foam for a smooth, responsive running experience. The material absorbs impact during landing and distributes it across your feet. On take-off, you get that energy back for an energetic feel. The Pegasus 39 is designed for every type of neutral runner, whether you are a forefoot, mid-foot or heeled runner.

The forefoot contains a Zoom Air unit. This unit is filled with air that is under a certain pressure. This unit springs in upon landing and springs back upon impact. The Zoom Air unit is positioned higher and therefore closer to your foot in the Pegasus 39. This gives more responsiveness. This means that you get more energy back from the energy you put in each stride than in average running shoes.

The heel is designed to optimise the landing for a smooth transition from heel to toe. This is combined with thick foam for a responsive experience. There is still a hint of the iconic waffle pattern that Nike as a brand became known for in its younger years. This pattern provides grip on both dry and wet surfaces.

This shoe has an extra wide last (4E, Wide).

This is a 4E last, an extra wide version of the shoe. This last is suitable for people with wider feet whose feet will still pinch too much in a wide (2E) last.
