Nike Pegasus Premium 2

The second Pegasus Premium keeps the ZoomX-plus-Air-Zoom-plus-ReactX sandwich that defines the model, trimming a little weight and cleaning up the upper. It remains a plush, springy max-stack cruiser for runners who want the most dramatic Air-cushioned ride Nike makes. Still heavy and expensive relative to simpler trainers that cover the same runs.

Who it's for

Reach for the Nike Pegasus Premium 2 for everyday training miles and long runs. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
