Nike ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 W Black and White shoes

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 is another version of the popular model from Nike, which works great when running in various terrains. The fifth version brings improvements, including a changed midsole foam - Nike React X known from the Nike InfinityRN 4 model.

Debuting in this Pegasus version, React X foam was researched, developed and tested for five years to create a formula that perfectly combines performance and environmental impact. By subjecting the material to an injection process rather than traditional extrusion molding, the new foam provides higher energy return without creating a larger carbon footprint . As a result, Nike was able to reduce its carbon footprint by at least 43% by using less energy in the production process of the new Nike Pegasus Trail 5 midsole. Additionally, the new injection molding method of ReactX foam not only uses less energy, but also generates less waste.

The amount of foam has also been increased, which also contributes to better protection and shock absorption during longer runs. The mesh upper has special zones responsible for breathability . Additionally, the denser knitwear has been strategically placed in places most exposed to abrasion , including the big toe area. The midfoot area has also been improved, where we can find Flywire technology . The cables are integrated with the strap in the midfoot area, which provides full support and stabilization of the foot on uneven surfaces.

The outer sole includes abrasion-resistant Nike Trail All Terrain Compound (ATC) rubber, which is designed for a variety of surfaces and is designed to provide excellent traction also on wet surfaces.
