I've had the privilege of testing out the past two generations of Nike Peagasus 41, and have featured both as the best Nike shoe in my guide to best walking shoes.

They're excellent all-rounders, suitable for walking and running, benefiting from 41 generations of Nike product development.

My dad wore the first generation of Peg to win races in his early 20s, and I wear my pair mostly for walking longer distances over hard surfaces, but for the odd run as well.

The Pegasus 41 launched in June 2024 and I'm starting to see some significant discounts on selected colorways. You can get a whopping $55 off the men's Pegasus from Nike right now.

There's stock available in all sizes still, but hurry—a discount this good never lasts long! I've only ever seen the price a dollar cheaper, so this is about as good as it gets.

Not quite as good as the men's deal, but still a reasonable discount, you can also get just over $30 off this women's colorway.

You can also get this special edition Pegasus 41 for the same price if you don't fancy the brown.

So, why is the Pegasus such a good shoe? It's well cushioned, and pairs this with great energy return and bounce. I usually go for a max-stack shoe (think, Hoka), but the Pegasus achieves the plush feeling underfoot that I love, without raising you too high into the air.

This makes it great for the walker or runner looking for something in the Goldilocks zone: not too chunky and not too thin.

I’d also call the Pegasus a design classic, even when modernized and updated for a new generation. It’s got a sleek yet retro vibe that I love and you can wear it with a casual outfit and it won't look weird. I've paired mine with a maxi skirt and it somehow still fit the aesthetic.

So, if you're looking for a high-performance running shoe, or something comfy but classic to loaf around in, the Pegasus 41 has you covered.
