Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield Women

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 most popular. 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. Its versatility lets you comfortably run at a slower or moderate pace for your recovery runs, but you can also pick up the pace worry-free during your workouts.

The upper is inspired by the AeroLoft technology. It retains heat without overheating the feet. On the inside is soft fleece for extra comfort and perfect insulation. The insulated tongue with insert also offers extra protection against weather influences. Finally, your feet stay dry thanks to the special PCV-free treatment and skins in places where water can easily penetrate.

The Nike React midsole is a lightweight, strong foam for a smooth, responsive ride. 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 is 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 than with average running shoes. This results in a light and active running feeling. The heel is designed to optimize landing for a smooth transition from heel to toe. This is combined with thick foam for a responsive experience.

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