Pegasus Plus 2
A performance-oriented road trainer combining ZoomX cushioning and a forefoot Air Zoom unit for daily training and workout use.
Details
The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 is a performance-oriented road trainer that combines a ZoomX midsole with an exposed Air Zoom unit in the forefoot. Nike lists the shoe at approximately 9.3 oz for a men's US size 10 with a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop. Cadence tracks a 39 mm heel stack and 29 mm forefoot stack based on available third-party measurements, as Nike does not publish official stack-height figures for the model. The Pegasus Plus 2 does not use a plate. Cadence classifies it as a Super Trainer with both Daily and Workout use designations.
