Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield Women

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 Shield are neutral, all-round running shoes. The 'Pegasus' is Nike's oldest model of running shoes and also one of the most popular. The Pegasus 39 Shield is the water-resistant variant 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 its versatility, you can comfortably run at a slower or moderate pace for your recovery runs, but you can also pick up the pace during your workouts without worry.

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

The midsole is from Nike React, and is a light, strong foam for a smooth, responsive walking experience. The material absorbs the impact during landing and distributes it over the feet. When you push 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 runner. There is a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot. This unit is filled with air that is under a certain pressure and compresses when landing and rebounds when taking off. This Zoom Air unit sits higher and therefore closer to your foot in the Pegasus 39. This provides more responsiveness. This means that you get more energy back from the energy you put into each step than with average running shoes. This results in a light and active running feeling. The heel is designed to optimize the 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 stormy 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 maintain direct contact with the ground.
