Nike Pegasus 42 Tested on Fiat's Historic Lingotto Rooftop Track

Cisalfa Sport and Nike transformed the iconic Pista 500 on the roof of Turin's Lingotto building into an open-air running track to launch the new Nike Pegasus 42. Instead of a traditional product launch, they organized a high-intensity race featuring four running clubs from Genoa, Turin, and Milan, including the Cisalfa Run Crew. The track, built in the 1920s by Fiat for testing cars, provided a fitting backdrop under the slogan "Full Horsepower." The Nike Pegasus line debuted in 1982, selling 8,000 pairs in the first month and over 300,000 in six months, but production was paused in 1998 due to unpopular design choices. It returned in 2000, and despite the model being 44 years old, it is named Pegasus 42 due to that production hiatus. The Pegasus 42 features a full-length curved Air Zoom unit embedded in ReactX foam, offering 15% more energy return than its predecessor, along with a wider forefoot, 3mm extra toe cushioning, improved fit, and breathable Engineered mesh upper. The shoes are available at Cisalfa Sport stores and online.
