The Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex is Nike’s latest version of their road-to-trail running shoe, featuring a Gore-Tex upper for wet-weather protection. Priced at $170, it competes with the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 WTR ($170) and the Adidas Ultraboost 5X ($180). This update includes a new All Terrain Rubber compound that delivers improved grip on the roads. It blends elements of the Pegasus road shoe—like the ReactX foam midsole—with features from Nike’s trail line, including a grippier outsole, trail lugs, and a bootie-like, waterproof upper. As a hybrid road-to-trail shoe, it handles light gravel and easy trails with ease, though we wouldn’t recommend it for more technical terrain or extended time on foot. In our experience, the Pegasus Trail series consistently outperforms its road counterparts, with the foam feeling more lively, bouncy, and stable. If you’re looking for a comfortable, do-it-all road-to-trail daily trainer with solid wet-weather grip and protection, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex is a certified banger.
