Once again, Nike knocks it out of the park with the visuals.

The upper is updated with a single layer of mesh that is breathable yet nice and snug. The upper also drains well and dries quickly. Like version 4, Pegasus Trail 5 features Flywire technology and a midfoot wrap to keep you secure.

The ReactX foam in the midsole is an absolute dream. This feature alone puts Peg Trail 5 in the 10 most comfortable trail shoes. It’s nice and soft with just a bit of bounce. 

The outsole has been updated for abrasion resistance and better traction and uses Nike’s ATC rubber. It also features an updated lug pattern around the heel. This newer version also has slightly less rubber to facilitate its hybrid road/trail capabilities. Pegasus 5’s outsole performed noticeably better than version 4 on most terrains, but not all.
