Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield Men

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield are neutral, all-round running shoes. The 'Pegasus' is the oldest model of running shoes from Nike and also one of the applied ones. The Pegasus 39 Shield is the water-resistant version with extra grip on the outsole. The shoes are ideal for your daily run, but can also be used during an endurance run. Thanks to the versatility, you can run your recovery runs at a slow, moderate pace for your recovery runs, but you can also increase the pace during your workouts without worry.

The upper is inspired by AeroLoft technology. It keeps the stretched out without heating the feet. On the inside is soft fleece for extra comfort and perfect insulation. The payment against insert provides additional weather protection. Finally, your feet stay dry with the special PCV-free treatment and skins in places where water can easily penetrate.

The midsole is made of Nike React and is a light, strong foam for a smooth, responsive running experience. The material absorbs the impact during landing and distributes it over the feet. At the take-off you get that energy back for an energetic feeling. In fact, every type of neutral runner will walk away with the Pegasus 39, whether you are a forefoot, midfoot or heel lander. In the forefoot is a Zoom Air unit. This unit is filled with air that is under a certain pressure and which compresses on landing and rebounds on take-off. This Zoom Air unit sits 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 into each stride with normal running shoes. This results in a light and active running feeling. The heel is designed to optimize landing for a transition from heel to toe. This is combined with thick foam for a responsive experience.

The outsole has a lot of grip in rough weather. The texture of the sole is oriented towards that of winter tires. The micro-grooves and irregular shapes ensure that water can drain well and you maintain direct contact with the ground.
