Without any qualms, and literally Nike takes to the mountain with its new trail running shoes. If you haven't heard about it yet, you should know that the new Nike Pegasus 36 Trail is one of the biggest hits of the season. But there's more, so stay tuned.
Just as you read it, the renowned brand from Oregon has decided to go a step further, and is fully into trail territory, making its most emblematic Running shoes for asphalt also have a homologous version, and adapted to run in the mountains. Conquering the popular mountain runner is the goal of this new Nike Pegasus 36 Trail.
But it wouldn't be fair to focus all the attention only on these Pegasus 36 Trial, because Nike Running has a long history in the trail running world with its Wildhorse and Terra Kiger series. It should also be noted that the latest versions of the Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 5 and the Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 5 have also been released this season with a total redesign and major changes, but keeping their original essence.

The 3 new Nike trail running models
The iconic Nike Pegasus takes the leap, and also moves from the asphalt to the mountain with the launch of the Nike Pegasus 36 Trail, a model designed to run on different surfaces, and maximizing its cushioning and comfort in each stride. The cushioning capacity of this model is guaranteed by the combination of the Cushlon foam, which increases the cushioning underfoot, and the double Zoom Air unit both in the forefoot and heel area. While its upper is made of a synthetic material and perforated mesh, which improves the ventilation of the shoe.
In addition, thanks to the wider forefoot, the fit is looser, which benefits to enjoy greater comfort. The outsole also includes a series of grips to optimize traction, even on the most technical terrain.
As we have told you, the changes in the renewed Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 5 are very significant, and they are noticeable. In this fifth version of the Terra Kiger, there are two new features to highlight: midsole with React foam to gain in lightness and reactivity, allowing a smoother ride, and also reinforced by the Zoom Air unit in the heel area. And on the other hand, the Flymesh material of the upper, which presents a synthetic upper and perforated mesh, which significantly improves breathability and support, while contributing to lighten the weight of the model.
Also striking in these Air Zoom Terra Kiger 5 from Nike are the rubber pads on the outsole to increase grip and traction on wet terrain, especially. Not to mention that sturdy plate in the forefoot, arranged to offer more safety and protection on the most complicated surfaces.
Comfort and safety are the guarantees offered by the new Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 5. A trail running shoe designed for all types of distances, and also for running on a multitude of terrains. Some of the arguments in favor of these Wildhorse 5 are still in the most outstanding sections of its predecessor version. Thus, this model continues to provide an excellent balance between cushioning and response with the Zoom Air unit in the heel to make the stride more reactive.
The great novelty of these Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 5 lies in the redesign of its upper. With the idea of making this shoe lighter, more resistant and durable, a mesh with different layers has been incorporated to wrap the foot better, as well as to increase breathability. It also has leather overlays, which have been placed in the areas most exposed to wear to give the shoe greater durability. There is also still that resistant plate in the midsole that provides greater protection in the most difficult and rough terrain.
