Pegasus Premium
₹19,995 · choose a size
The Pegasus Premium sits above the standard Pegasus as the halo version of Nike's daily trainer, and the triple-stack midsole is why — ZoomX foam, a first-of-its-kind full-length sculpted Air Zoom unit shaped to the foot, and a ReactX heel wrap combine for the most energised ride the family has ever had. A lighter-than-air circular knit upper keeps the familiar Pegasus fit but sheds weight and adds breathability, so the extra cushioning stack doesn't come with the usual daily-trainer bulk.
First Stride lists EU sizing as the primary scale, with UK equivalents on each size button. Running shoes should have a thumb's width of room at the toe — if you are between sizes, take the larger one. Wide feet should size up half in Asics and Nike.

Midsole complexity

Xtep 2000KM 5.0 Pro: The 2000KM 5.0 Pro is a single PEBA-beaded foam, simpler and far lighter on engineering, at less than half the price.
Weight
Nike Pegasus Premium: That triple-layer midsole stack carries real weight — 308g.
Xtep 2000KM 5.0 Pro: The Pro is 81g lighter.
Upper
Nike Pegasus Premium: Pegasus Premium's knit-and-mesh combo is a genuinely premium build.
Xtep 2000KM 5.0 Pro: The Pro's jacquard upper is simpler but still weatherproof.
