Air Zoom Pegasus 33 Shield Running Shoe - Men's

Most of you are probably aware that the distant forebear of Nike's Air Zoom Pegasus 33 Shield Men's Running Shoe has been supporting tired legs with its soft cushioning since the days of short-shorts, white tube socks, and cotton singlets. But for those of you who aren't, know that in Nike's hyper-innovative culture, this is a shoe that's proud of its Prefontaine-era birth date and distinction as the OG trainer. Of course, it's a Nike, which means staying ahead of the times comes with the territory. Whether it's your first Peg or your 33rd, your winter training season will be a dry and cushioned one in the latest model to bear the Pegasus name.

Your training doesn't stop when snow and rain cover the roads, so Nike equips the Pegasus 33 Shield with an exterior DWR treatment and a water-resistant inner bootie to add extra protection when you're forced to step through puddles and snow drifts. The Peg also benefits from Nike's advancements in upper technology with stretchy, adaptable uppers that are devoid of any seaming and gently mold to your feet as you run.

To balance support with the rest of the shoe's airy flexibility, Nike reinforces the uppers with Flywire along the instep, lending security without bulk. Zoom Air pods placed under the forefoot and heel continue the theme of support by giving you responsive feedback from track laps to tempo days on the roads. On the outsole, targeted areas of sticky rubber work to keep you on your feet when slick spots abound.
