Nike Pegasus 41 vs Pegasus Plus

The Nike Pegasus Plus is a spin-off of the Nike Pegasus 41, which is the iconic classic daily trainer. The Pegasus 41 has a midsole made of dense ReactX foam, with two Zoom Air pods inside, while the Pegasus Plus' midsole is entirely made of bouncy Zoom X foam. That ZoomX midsole does make the Plus version lighter and bouncier, but the cushioning is much less reliable. If you're a smaller runner going very slow, you might not feel the difference; larger runners, or anyone applying more force when running, will get less protection from the Pegasus Plus' cushioning.
