Nike Elevates Its Most Versatile Trail Shoe with a Pair of Upgrades
When it comes to running, Nike may be best known for record-breaking shoes like the Vaporfly. However, few shoes in the brand’s catalog (let alone that of any other brand) rival the versatility of the Pegasus Trail 5, which just received a pair of performance upgrades for runners planning to rough it out in whatever winter throws their way.
Hybrid trainer
You could call the Pegasus Trail 5 an off-road version of the Pegasus 41 but that’d be selling the shoe a little short. It’s a hybrid trainer, designed by the Nike Trail team to transition between pavement and dirt without missing a step.

Like the Pegasus 41, the Pegasus Trail 5 features Nike’s new ReactX foam that debuted on last year’s InfinityRN 4. According to the brand, the midsole material boasts a significant increase in energy return over regular React foam. Even better: it nearly cuts Nike’s carbon footprint in half.
ReactX also just feels really good, combining bounce with responsiveness for a dynamic feeling underfoot, no matter the surface. Just as well — the lugs on the Pegasus Trail 5 provides enough grip for light trails without feeling out of place on the road.
