Nike Pegasus Plus

Essentially the successor to the Pegasus Turbo, the Pegasus Plus pairs a full-length ZoomX midsole with a stripped-down Flyknit upper. It is a light, energetic trainer that livens up uptempo days and shorter races without a plate. The thin upper and price put it in enthusiast territory rather than everyday-value territory.
