cushioning
Air-Sole is a full length articulated device that flexes on contact for increased cushioning.

midsole

Phylon is Nike's standard full-length midsole foam that delivers lightweight, resilient cushioning. Crash pad is located at the bottom, lateral heel. This highly decoupled unit is gender-specific and reduces shock at impact and reduces the degree and rate of pronation. Arch bridge is located at the bottom of the midfoot and wraps medially to the rear of the shoe. This thermal plastic unit is gender-specifc and shores up the midfoot and offers support for over-pronation.

upper

Open mesh covers large expanses of the upper, providing great breathability. TPU Overlays are gender specific and strategically placed to reduce irritation. Dual-layer Ortholite sockliner with Fitsole geometry sits underfoot and provides additional cushioning and comfort. Nike Rideliner is a full length strobel last construction that is composed of a soft polyurethane foam for direct cushioning under foot.

outsole
BRS 1000 carbon rubber is located along the heel for durability. Environmentally Preferred Rubber is located in the forefoot and provides multi-surface traction. Waffle outsole design in the forefoot provides multi-surface traction and a touch of cushioning.

feedback for Nike Air Pegasus+ 26 Mens Shoes Wh/Rd/Si:

Comments: Pretty good ride for the price, but durability is a concern. After about 150 miles on them, I started to see tearing of the fabric around the ankles.

Comments: I just bought a new pair after retiring my last pair of Pegasus+ with over 450 miles on them. After trying a myrad of other brands, I have not been able to find a better all around road shoe. I am a neutral runner putting about 45-50 miles per week and as far as everyday training and long distance shoes, I am very happy with the Pegasus. I highly recommend them.  From: Zack, Kirtland, OH

Comments: I have been in New Balance for a while. I got these this week and have run twice in them (8 mi, 12 mi). I lovethem! My toes hurt before and my feet were always a little sore. I might never change shoes again. Thank You!!         From: Mike, Austin, TX
