1 / 5

The Nike team has accustomed us to the fact that when an original version of its trail models is released, it doesn't take long for its evolved version with the characteristic Gore-Tex membrane to reach the market. This is the case of the renowned Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex, and in RUNNEA we reveal everything you need to know about this versatile model.

As usual in these cases, this new edition of the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex trail running shoes brings all the strengths of its standard version, and adds the added value of that waterproof feature so demanded in environments where weather conditions are more likely to be determinant in your outdoor outings. There are no excuses now!

What are the highlights of the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex?

The path is made by walking, as the saying goes. Although, in our case, our path is made by running. As with the standard version of the Nike Pegasus Trail 4, this waterproof version reinforces the idea of being an all-terrain shoe, designed for the enjoyment of neutral-gait runners. However, its flexible and lightweight design makes it a perfect choice for running on rough terrain and roads, keeping the rain at bay.

Thanks to the redefinition of its midsole, the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex has less volume than previous versions, because the amount of React foam decreases, although this foam runs the entire length of the midsole. This does not mean that the trainer has lost performance, quite the contrary, because it is a model that still ensures a balance between comfortable cushioning, high protection and a more dynamic response. That is, smoother transitions, with good response, and even greater stability on rockier terrain.

That said, the main differences you will find in this evolved Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex are contained in its upper. The engineered mesh construction adapts better to the foot, providing improved breathability and lightweight support. The standout addition here is the inclusion of the renowned Gore-Tex membrane. This technological feature enhances the trainer's adaptability to its environment, ensuring your feet remain dry and cool throughout your mountain adventures. Additionally, it enhances the trainer's resistance in critical areas.

Also noticeable is the model's mid-top design, which is higher and offers better protection to the ankle area, but also allows a better adaptability, helping to prevent external elements from getting inside the trainer.

In addition, and as we have already seen in the previous model, the Nike Pegasus Trail 3 GTX, this latest release retains its practical perforated insole, which significantly improves drainage. Furthermore, integrated loops on the heel and tongue make it easier to put on and take off.

Technical specifications of the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex

The outsole of the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex implements a pattern with a compound that increases stability, traction and grip on different types of mountain terrain. In fact, this latest version of the GTX Pegasus Trail 4 combines that traction pattern with more rubber reinforcement in the front of the trainer. The aim is tp provide extra grip on any type of surface. But don't forget that one of the hallmarks of the Pegasus Trail family is that it is very versatile, because it works well as a transition shoe, so you can also use it on road sections, as long as they are not particularly abrasive.

On the other hand, this Nike bestseller model optimised for trail running keeps a standard drop of 10 millimetres. Its weight is slightly increased due to the inclusion of Gore-Tex, although you will hardly notice the difference when you run, and it is close to 250 grams.

In summary, the Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex continues to be a high-performance outdoor trainer, excelling in providing reliable and dynamic grip, comfortable cushioning, and agility. With its added premium waterproofing feature, this latest Pegasus Trail model is prepared for any adventure. Are you ready?
