The complete Nike Pegasus lineage

The Pegasus is Nike's workhorse daily trainer, updated every year since 1983. Most versions change little, which is the point. The exceptions, like the switch to ReactX foam in the 41, are where loyal runners get caught out. This page tracks every recent version, what changed, and where to find the one you actually want.

Questions runners ask

What is the newest Nike Pegasus?
The Nike Pegasus 42, released in 2026. List price at launch was $145.
Which Nike Pegasus versions are hard to find now?
Pegasus 37, Pegasus 38. They are discontinued at retail, so Amazon carries whatever stock remains and sizes disappear one by one.
Which Nike Pegasus should I buy?
New to the line: buy the Pegasus 42. If you loved the way this line rode before the Pegasus 41 changed its character in 2024, the Pegasus 40 was the last version of the old ride, and remaining stock is the only way to get it.
