You already know that the Pegasus is a winged horse. But did you know that it is the offspring of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Medusa, that lady with a bunch of snakes for hair? And did you know that he was basically responsible for slaying the monstrous chimera, too? And that he’s the namesake and inspiration for a pair of Gore-Tex trail sneakers from Nike?
All of those things and more are true about the noble, winged steed. And when you need to be as fleet of foot as a flying horse, you should reach for a brand new pair of Pegasus Trail 4’s. Waterproof, lightweight, flexible, responsive—they’re a trail shoe that does it all, allowing you to conquer your own mythical beasts (so long as they take the form of particularly long trail runs).
The addition of an ankle gaiter really takes the waterproof functionality to a new extreme here, preventing that unfortunate backsplash-into-your-heel thing that every runner has soaked a pair of socks with. And they’re available in nine colors, too, so you can match your heroic running aspirations to your personal style.
