Pegasus 1

Daily TrainerRelease date 1983US

The original Pegasus brought Air cushioning to an accessible everyday running shoe. A focused heel Air unit paired with Tomilite EVA kept the construction simpler than full-length Air designs. Its Waffle outsole used directionally arranged lugs, complemented by a lightweight upper. A limited 1982 debut preceded the broader early-1983 rollout that established the series.

Intended uses:
Jog, Daily
