Nike Pegasus Plus 2

The second Pegasus Plus continues the formula of full-length ZoomX foam in a light, plate-free trainer built for faster daily miles. Expect the same energetic, flexible ride as the original with an updated upper for a more secure lockdown. It sits between the standard Pegasus and Nike's plated speed shoes in both feel and price.
