October 12, 2020 – This cold-weather footwear collection from Nike Running highlights two features that are wintertime favorites: a GORE-TEX upper on the Nike Pegasus Trail 2 and redesigned traction patterns in the Shield series, specifically the Nike Pegasus 37 and the Nike React Miler Shield.
Nike Pegasus Trail 2 GORE-TEX For runs that veer off the beaten path, the Nike Pegasus Trail 2 GORE-TEX is designed to help withstand weather conditions as rugged as the terrain. The GORE-TEX invisible fit upper helps protect feet from moisture. Additional traction was added at the heel and toe to steady runners when going up or down hills, joining the outsole’s detailed nubs for a secure, confident ride. Nike React foam helps provide cushioned responsiveness with every step.
Nike Pegasus 37 Shield and Nike React Miler Shield Two cold-weather Shield silhouettes from Nike Running feature a reimagined outsole pattern inspired by winter car tires.
Designed specifically for wet road surfaces, the traction patterns include micro-siping to better grip the road. The multidirectional shapes help channel water for improved contact with wet pavement. The weatherized shroud upper for both silhouettes helps repel water and keep feet dry. A bonus: the React Miler Shield is customizable on Nike By You. Check out the last two images above.
The Nike Pegasus Trail 2 GORE-TEX, the Nike Pegasus 37 Shield and the Nike React Miler Shield release later in October.
Soft, responsive foam in the midsole gives you a comfortable, smooth ride for your run and wherever else your day takes you. High foam heights provide a soft feel.
Flyknit upper has zones of breathability where your foot heats up most, specifically at the toe box. It's strong and durable, helping keep your foot secure with every mile. The airy and breezy upper hugs your foot in a free and easy way.
We created the rubber outsole using runner-informed data for traction where you need it.
The tongue is even more plush than previous versions.
We added extra support along the sides via a band at the midfoot. It works with your laces, helping you adjust how snug and secure your foot feels. There's also a clip at the heel, helping with stability as you run on uneven surfaces.
We tested real runners to learn where feet need the most cooling. Using that data, we put mesh in key spots (especially around the toes) to give you stretch and ventilation.
Your foot sits on Nike ZoomX, our lightest and highest energy returning foam. It gives you a smooth ride from foot strike through your transition. We combined it with Zoom Air cushioning under the forefoot for a snappy, responsive feel as you push off.
High-abrasion rubber at the outsole with lugs gives you durable traction.

Nike is bringing fresh updates throughout 2020 to its three-member Trail series: the Nike Pegasus Trail 2, the Nike Wildhorse 6 and the Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6.
Key to the changes on the Wildhorse and Kiger are updates that home in on serious performance — the kind that recognize the distinct variances within trail running that differ from your standard road run or track workout. For the Wildhorse, Nike React foam now delivers more comfort and stability underfoot, while the Kiger is built to keep out more mud, muck and moisture with a new upper.
Meanwhile, the Nike Pegasus Trail gets a full update from its initial offering in 2019. The Nike Pegasus Trail 2 features a new upper and tooling, with underfoot cushioning designed to handle those transitions from road surfaces to the trail and back again.

A durable FlyMesh upper hugs the foot comfortably, allowing skin to breathe and stay dry. The higher cuff above the heel collar helps keep out dirt and debris.
The pull tab on the heel allows you to attach your muddy shoes to a backpack or a bag via a carabiner.

Runner-informed data was used to create and place engineered mesh throughout the upper for a sturdy, lightweight and breathable feel. We placed extra skins across the toes for durability.
Flywire technology is integrated with a midfoot band for total support that helps keep your foot in place.
Nike React technology is a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a smooth, responsive ride.
The rubber outsole has a generative traction pattern, created using data from runners like you. It gives your foot grip in key areas, helping you stay upright and stable over rocky trails, while also maintaining a smooth ride on the road.
When approaching rocky and technical terrain, go with the comfort and speed of the Kiger 9, there for every unexpected twist and tight turn. Equipped with full-length Nike React foam and a revamped breathable upper, this agile, quick trainer helps keep you zigzagging in and out of trails with speed. It’s lower to the ground and lighter than our previous iteration, so that you can handle the off-road path with pace and security.
Nike React technology is a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a smooth, responsive ride. We implemented a full React midsole and removed the forefoot Air unit from the prior iteration, so that you can get even closer to the ground without sacrificing comfort and speed.
Multidirectional traction lugs in the heel have high-abrasion rubber to help give you enhanced grip on ascents and descents, even in wet weather, so you can stay connected to the trail.
The upper is light and reductive, so the shoe feels like it disappears on your feet while still offering cushioning on the trails. It's made of engineered mesh, stronger and more flexible than regular mesh, and helps keep dirt out. The midfoot band provides stability and support to help minimize movement inside the shoe.
Hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant materials help provide durability in key areas, like the overlays around the toe and the rubber outsole wrap on the heel and forefoot.
Nike ReactX foam in the midsole gives you extra cushioning.
We placed engineered mesh with tighter woven fabric in high-wear areas, like the toes. Engineered mesh combines with open holes on the upper for breathability. Plus, Flywire technology integrates with the laces to help secure your midfoot.
Less rubber along the outsole compared to the previous iteration creates a smooth transition from road to trail while preserving the full-length ReactX midsole. Plus, it wraps around the front of the shoe to provide extra durability.

May 24, 2019 – With a fresh look and new performance features, the versatile crossover trainer is back for the first time since it was introduced in the 2000s.
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail builds off the heritage of the favored Pegasus, offering the same shape, fit and feel of the road runner.
Unique to this model:
An entirely new mesh upper that vents during sweaty runs or puddle encounters.
Durable skins on high-wear areas such as the forefoot and heel protect from rubs with twigs and rocks.
The forefoot and heel also have separate Zoom Air units for responsiveness and stability on uneven paths.
The outsole is lined with enlarged lugs that have flat tops to provide better traction on wet or loose ground and offer an easy transition from trail to road.
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail is available now for NikePlus members in Europe and will be available globally June 13.
The more supportive the shoe, the more stability it can give to your natural stride. A combination of tuned support and intentionally placed cushioning helps you feel secure with every step. The Peg 40 has neutral support. It gives you balance, whether you're a heel or forefoot striker. It's good for long and short runs, too, providing a smooth transition from heel to toe.
The more cushioning that you have underfoot, the softer and more comfortable your running experience can be. Cushioning helps soften impact as your feet hit the ground. Feel connected to the ground with Nike React technology, a lightweight, durable foam that delivers a comfortable, responsive ride. It holds its shape run after run to give you a consistent feeling.
The more responsive the shoe, the more energy return you can get back with each step. Whether you want to run a little bit faster or with a little less effort, responsive shoes help give you slightly more spring in your step to get more out of your run. We paired Nike React technology with 2 Zoom Air units (1 in the forefoot and the heel) to give you a bouncy, springy sensation and an energized feel at toe-off.
A highly tuned single layer mesh creates an inviting feel and fit. We redesigned the midfoot strap for a more molded fit to the foot, shaped for all sized arches.
