Nike Air Zoom Pegasus A/T is all weather ready.
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus A/T is an advancement away from the origins of this classic runner. The initial release of the Pegasus was focused on a lightweight alternative for average to elite athletes. It quickly became a running staple among frequent runners and weekend warriors alike. In fact, the Pegasus is also known for being Phil Knight’s favorite shoe.
As the Pegasus made its way through the years, we’ve seen the shoe go through some major changes. Some of those changes, of course, were just a matter of making sure the brand kept up with the industry. The Air Pegasus 32 took on woven uppers and Zoom cushioning, for example. Here, the A/T model shows some of the same design philosophies while offering up its own rendition.
The upper here is fashioned in a combination of textile and synthetic materials. Though not exactly super-advanced, this mix offers impressive durability. We still see Zoom cushioning, but it now sits atop an outsole with a high-end traction pattern. Combining the upper and outsole, the design here looks to be aiming for Winter wears. We even see a toggle lacing system for an easier slip-on, similar to the Flyease concept.
This latest iteration of the storied Pegasus will do nicely in anyone’s Winter rotation. Don’t sleep!
