Nike Pegasus 41 review: The best value running shoe for most people
What are the Pegasus 41 running trainers?
Released in June 2024, the 41s are the latest Nike Pegasus trainers. They're one of the brand's most popular running shoes, with the first version having been released in 1982. They've gone through some major changes since then, and the shoe was even dropped for a couple of years, but by 2001 they were a bestseller with $19 million worth of pairs being sold.
This upgrade, available in 17 colours, sees the brand using ReactX foam cushioning for the first time, while the upper mesh has also been engineered to be more breathable. The trainers are particularly popular with neutral runners.

How we test trainers
As a health and fitness journalist, I'm always in the gym or running, so I tested these trainers during both activities. When I was running I diversified the terrains I covered – from gravel and sand to grass – to assess their performance on various surfaces.
I looked at the comfort, alongside the design aesthetics of the shoes and also paid close attention to their durability, particularly how well they maintained their condition after multiple runs. From a runner's perspective, I evaluated crucial aspects such as shock absorption, stability during runs and overall support provided by the shoe.
Comfort and design
Score: 9/10
The 41s have a chunkier sole and upper knit which wraps around the whole trainer, compared to the previous version. Unlike other running shoes, they're also slimline enough to wear with a pair of jeans.
The Nike Pegasus 41 trainers were comfortable when I initially tried them on. The padded collar and tongue felt snug, and the toe box was roomy. The upgraded mesh and sock liner kept my feet cool and dry, even when I was pushing the pace. The extra padding around the ankle and heel meant there were no blisters or hot spots, even on my longest runs.
However, it took me a while to adjust to the neutral feel of the midsole during my runs, as I slightly overpronate. The shoe's well-cushioned heel, measuring in at 37mm, enhanced their comfort.
I reviewed the white version of the trainers, which didn't stay as pristine for long, particularly after a muddy bike ride and a few winter runs through trails. I'd recommend choosing a darker colour if you want to use them for similar activities. Thankfully there's a wide variety of options with 17 different colours and designs.
Bounce and shock absorption
Score: 9/10
In 2010 the line introduced Air Zoom, a cushioning system which is said to help with speed and agility – this improved my heel-to-toe progression as I ran, but I'm not sure it made me faster.
New for the 41 is the brand ReactX foam cushioning, which is said to enhance energy return, and as you can see from the video, the bounce on the heel was very responsive. They definitely gave a spring to my step and enhanced my stride, but other brands such as HOKA's Bondi 9 and Brook's Glycerin Max are just as responsive and give you more energy return, especially when you're struggling to finish those last couple of kilometres during a race.
The foam cushioning also features Air Zoom pods under the heel and forefoot, which provide excellent shock absorption. I could barely feel the ground impact as I ran on both pavements and trails.
Durability
Score: 10/10
I put these trainers through a lot on a fitness holiday, running along the beach, cycling through muddy puddles and even jumping through tyres – so, of course, they're no longer as pristine as they were when I got them out of the box.
They also showed how versatile and durable they are; although now a shade of white-ish brown, the outsoles show no sign of wear, while the upper mesh is still in good condition. The mesh tore after six months or so on a previous iteration of Pegasus trainers which I own, so I'll be interested to see if the case is the same with the 41s.
Ground feel and responsiveness
Score: 9/10
The heel stack comes in at 37mm, which means a lot of cushioning around the heel, which I appreciated. I barely noticed the ground and they felt so responsive as I pounded the pavements. I'm a heel striker and overpronater, so they cushioned my heels well as I ran. The heel-to-toe drop is only 10mm, meaning there is lots of cushion in the front of the shoe too.
The outsole of these trainers, crafted from a layer of rubber and moulded with the distinctive Pegasus waffle pattern, delivered an impressive grip. Even when venturing off-road onto trails and encountering muddy conditions, their traction control was consistent and reliable.
Stability
Score: 7/10
The Nike Pegasus 41 is designed for neutral feet which do not show excessive pronation or supination (outward rolling). As someone who slightly overpronates when they run (which means my foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inwards), I took a while to adjust.
To begin with I could feel an ache in my foot arch, especially when I ran more than 3k in them. I found my feet needed some time to mould into Nike's midsole and adjust, which they did after a few miles, but I also ensured I didn't wear them on longer runs to avoid injury or discomfort. If you do overpronate, more supportive shoes such as Brooks Glycerin Max could fit better – when I tested these my feet immediately adapted.
Technical specifications
As a neutral running shoe that suits both long-distance and speed running, there are few trainers more versatile than the Nike Pegasus 41s. One shoe that comes close is the Puma Velocity Nitro 3, which is slightly cheaper and lighter, with the same heel-to-toe drop. Here's how they stack up:
Should you buy the Nike Pegasus 41 trainers?
The Nike Pegasus 41 is a great all-rounder, especially for shorter distances. The heel stack and bounce from the ReactX foam cushioning and Air Zoom are impressive, while the design and comfort of the shoe are excellent. However, as it's a neutral footing shoe, it's not for everyone, so definitely try before you buy, especially if you overpronate, like me.
Yes if:
You want impressive grip
You run shorter distances
You want good bounce from your cushioning
No if:
You overpronate
You don't want a neutral fitting shoe
You run longer distances
Nike Pegasus 41 FAQs
Does the Nike Pegasus 41 run true to size?
Yes, the Nike Pegasus 41 running shoes run true to size, and are available in standard and wide widths.
Are the Nike Pegasus 41 shoes good for long-distance running?
Yes, the responsive cushioning and supportive design make the Nike Pegasus 41s good for long-distance running.
Are the Nike Pegasus 41 running shoes waterproof?
No, the standard Nike Pegasus 41 shoes are not waterproof, although you can buy the GORE-TEX versions for £144.99, which are waterproof.

Nike set to make history with collaboration that's 'steeped in Indian culture'
Nike's historic collaboration with Indian designer brand NorBlack NorWhite seeks to turn the brand's performance pieces into "symbols of cultural connection" and will be "steeped in Indian culture". Sportwear giant Nike has launched its first major collaboration with an Indian designer label NorBlack NorWhite (NBNW). The limited-edition styles celebrate Indian culture and craftsmanship and 'invite women into sport' with unrestrictive silhouettes. NBNW is the brainchild of Mriga Kapadiya and Amrit Kumar. The New Delhi-based label is known for combining traditional Indian crafts and textiles with streetwear silhouettes. The Nike x NBNW collection is rooted in the practice of bandhani: a centuries-old Indian tie-dye technique used to create the complex patterns. According to Nike, the collaboration helps transforms the brand's performance styles into 'symbols of cultural connection' and introduce 'new communities to colours and patterns steeped in Indian culture'. The collection includes sportswear and leisurewear essentials including a hoodie, tank, cropped T-shirt, bras and shorts. A Nike x NorBlack NorWhite crossbody bag is also part of the limited edition collection as are four footwear silhouettes for women: the Nike Air Max Craze, Motiva and Pegasus 41. The collection is available globally on June 11 at and select Nike Stores. The Nike Calm x NorBlack NorWhite Women's Slides (£54.99) are currently available online in the UK. As are the High-Waisted Printed Biker Shorts (£32.99), matching Light-Support Padded Printed Sports Bra (£37.99) and the Dri-FIT Printed Tank Top (£44.99). The collaboration is noteworthy not just for its hues but for its focus on silhouettes that promote easy and effortless movement for women. Women's kit is often cited by athletes as particularly restrictive and unfunctional and this new range addresses these shortcomings with breathable and free-flowing pieces. 'This collection shines a light on the rigor, dedication and ancestral knowledge that's rooted in Indian culture, and we hope each piece inspires women to draw into their own athletic mindset while navigating everyday life in India and around the world,' says Mriga. To highlight the functionality of the designs, Nike and NBNW teamed up with several female athletes. The official campaign features wrestler Anshu Malik, sprinter Priya Mohan and cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! To highlight the functionality of the designs, Nike and NBNW teamed up with several female athletes. The official campaign features wrestler Anshu Malik, sprinter Priya Mohan and cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma. 'What really hits different from other campaigns is that this collaboration is designed right here in India by a local collective that gets our vibe,' says Jemimah. 'Wearing Nike that's laced with Indian culture is a flex. It's bold, rooted and ours. As a woman in a sport that's often seen through a male lens, being part of a campaign like this is my way of saying, 'We're not just showing up, we're here to take over, win big and look fab while doing it.'' This is one of a few major moves from Nike to invest in women consumers and athletes. Back in February 2025, Nike announced a joint brand deal with Kim Kardashian to create NikeSKIMS. At the time Nike shared the collaboration was meant to "disrupt the global fitness and activewear industry with best-in-class innovation in service of all women athletes — championing their confidence, strength, femininity and competitiveness like never before."

Apple iPad Pro (M4) review: Is this the best tablet you can buy?
This article contains affiliate links. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. We may earn a commission when you click a link, buy a product or subscribe to a service. What is the Apple iPad Pro (M4)? The iPad Pro (M4) sits at the top of Apple's tablet offering, with more power than the iPad Air (M3) thanks to the M4 processor, and a slimmer and lighter build. It's the thinnest product Apple offers, and its slender design comes in 11-inch and 13-inch size options, as well as two colour variants. The iPad Pro (M4) is the most expensive iPad available, costing almost double the iPad Air (M3) and iPad mini (A17 Pro) and nearly triple the iPad (A16), but it is also the only iPad to offer an OLED display. Apple introduced the iPad Pro (M4) in May 2024 and with it, introduced its Tandem OLED display technology to offer better brightness. The iPad Pro is an impressive tablet, but it comes with a huge cost, starting at around the same price as the recent MacBook Air (M4). I've been using it for nearly a year since it first launched and while it will be overkill for many in terms of power, here's why it remains the best tablet in its class. How we test tablets I have been testing consumer technology for over 12 years and have reviewed everything from the best smartphones and best headphones to the best tablets. I have also used every iPad that Apple has ever released, and regularly use all the current models, from the entry-level iPad (A16) to this top-of-the-range iPad Pro (M4), so I have a good idea of how the models compare, including to other tablets, such as Samsung's Galaxy Tabs. When we test iPads, we look at five distinct metrics: design, display, performance, battery life and software and AI, but it isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet. For this iPad in particular, I have used it for a year: watching hundreds of films, writing thousands of words, spending hours browsing the web, editing images and playing games. I've also taken it with me on a number of plane journeys, all of which have allowed me to test its screen in a variety of scenarios, as well as its battery life and general performance.

Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Design Score: 10/10 The iPad Pro (M4)'s design is impressive. It has a slim body, measuring just 5.3mm, and a lightweight aluminium build that makes it incredibly portable, whether you opt for the 11-inch or 13-inch model. Unlike the rest of Apple's iPads, the iPad Pro has Face ID built into the top of the uniform bezels around the display, rather than Touch ID in the power button. This is significantly more convenient for unlocking and authenticating payments or passwords. Alongside the Face ID sensors is the front camera in a landscape orientation like the rest of the range, while a magnetic strip is located on the edge at the top, allowing the Apple Pencil Pro (sold separately for £119) to snap on and charge. A camera and LiDAR sensor are present in the top left rear corner of the iPad Pro (M4) when in portrait mode, while the Smart Connector sits at the bottom. This allows the tablet to connect to various accessories, like the Magic Keyboard (also sold separately for £349). Display Score: 10/10 If the iPad Pro (M4)'s design wasn't enough to win you over, then its display will. The Tandem OLED panel has a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, which allows this iPad to be used outside in blazing sunshine with no problem. That's even more true if you opt for the nano-texture display option available in the higher storage models (1TB and 2TB), where the matte finish cuts through reflections. It is an added cost (£100) to an already expensive tablet, but it's well worth it, as it is on the MacBook Pro (M4). Colours presented on the display – whether standard or nano-texture – are exceptionally vibrant with plenty of punch, while contrast is superb with brilliantly bright whites and a deep, inky black. Viewing angles are great, too, and the detail is crisp and sharp. As far as displays go, this one is fantastic, making everything look wonderful from watching movies to looking back through your photo gallery. Performance Score: 10/10 The iPad Pro (M4) runs on Apple's M4 silicon chip, which is the same as what powers the company's latest MacBooks. It means that the iPad Pro is an incredibly rapid tablet and while it has more power than many will need, its performance is unbeatable. Loading apps, switching between tasks, gaming and scrolling are all effortless. In the last year, I've used the iPad Pro as a tablet, as well as a replacement to my laptop by attaching the Magic Keyboard. I was able to write, edit images on Photoshop, take hours worth of notes and watch hundreds of films. Nothing was a problem. It's smooth and fluid, whether you're running two apps side-by-side or playing casual or graphically intensive games. The four-speakers deliver decent sound and while I'd always recommend connecting up a pair or AirPods or other headphones for the best listening experience, the iPad Pro more than delivers without. Battery life Score: 9/10 Apple touts the same battery life for all its iPads, whether you're using the iPad mini or the iPad Pro: ten hours for watching video and nine for surfing the web. I've found that to be pretty accurate in use, after streaming an hour of video on the iPad Pro used only 9 per cent of charge, which means it should entertain you across the Atlantic to New York without requiring a top-up mid-flight. The battery does deplete a little faster if you connect the Magic Keyboard, but that's the case for all tablets, so it's not a deal breaker. The only downside is that the charging speed is on the slow side, like all of Apple's iPads. Apple doesn't officially specify the charging speed, but for this model, it seems to be between 30W and 35W. With OnePlus and Oppo both offering support for 67W charging, the iPad Pro (M4) could up its game, even if only to 45W to match what Samsung provides on its latest Galaxy Tabs. It's not the end of the world and depending on the user you are, you may go days in between charges, but a quicker burst of speed would be welcome. Software and AI Score: 9/10 The iPad Pro (M4) runs on iPadOS, the same software on all of Apple's other current iPads, as well as some older models. It's slick and easy to use, offering a multitude of apps optimised for bigger screens and overall, it is superior to the Android tablet user interface. Android does allow for better multitasking in that you can use three apps simultaneously on some devices rather than just two, like the iPad offers, but iPadOS is more intuitive than many Android tablets for entering multitasking modes, as well as general navigation and use. There's no support for multiple users, which is probably my biggest bugbear with the iPadOS software, but it's a great experience that Apple users will find familiar, while those new to Apple's ecosystem will have no problem getting to grips with it. Apple Intelligence is supported on the iPad Pro (M4) as well and while I don't see it as being a sole reason to invest in this tablet on its own, there are some useful features such as Math Notes and Writing Tools. Image Playground can be fun, while Clean Up in the Photos app is handy for removing unwanted objects or people from the background of your shots. The iPad Pro (M4) is one of the most expensive tablets on the market, but it's not on its own. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra also has a £1,000 starting price, so I've compared the two below. Should you buy the Apple iPad Pro (M4)? The Apple iPad Pro (M4) is an exceptional tablet, with a slim and lightweight design, stunning display and rapid performance. There's more power here than many will ever be able to fully utilise, accessories like the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard aren't included, and there's no multi-user support, so it doesn't lend itself well to being a shared family tablet. There's also no getting around the iPad Pro (M4)'s high starting price. Get past the cost, though, and all the other criticisms are minor grievances. The iPad Pro (M4) will be overkill for most, but it's without a doubt the best tablet on the market, delivering a fabulous experience that's hard to fault. Yes, if: You're looking for the most powerful tablet on the market You want a slim, lightweight and long-lasting tablet You need a tablet with the best display No, if: Power isn't your priority You want the best value Apple iPad Pro (M4) FAQs What does the M4 mean for iPad? The M4 chip means the iPad Pro has as much power as the entry-level MacBook laptops from Apple, so this tablet offers superb performance. Should I buy the 11-inch or 13-inch model? The 11-inch iPad Pro is more portable with a smaller footprint than the 13-inch version, weighing 444g compared to 579g. However, if you're considering this iPad as a laptop replacement and can afford it, go for the 13-inch size. It's still portable and the larger screen is excellent for multi-tasking. What generation is the iPad Pro M4? The iPad Pro (M4) is the seventh generation of the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro line was first announced in September 2015 with a 12.9-inch model, before the 9.7-inch version was announced in March 2016. The iPad Pro (M4) succeeds the iPad Pro 12.9 (6th generation) and the iPad 11 (5th generation). When was the iPad Pro M4 released? The iPad Pro (M4) was announced on 7 May 2024. Pre-orders started immediately, with availability from 15 May 2024. It starts at £999.

Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo review: This new portable misting fan is now my heatwave go-to
What is the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Portable Misting Fan? New for summer 2025, the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is a cordless air cooler. This means you can charge it, fill the integrated water reservoir and then enjoy a misty breeze wherever you like, be that on your patio, picnic blanket, desk or bedside table. It's versatile with five fan speeds, three misting settings and a vertical tilting range of 45 degrees. There's a long battery life of up to 12 hours and you can extend the cooler's runtime in between charges by plugging it into the mains. It looks more like a pedestal fan than a boxy air cooler and has an innovative, lightweight build and an attractive, accessible design. There's no connect app, so everything that's smart about the FlexBreeze HydroGo is in its mechanics. Whereas most air coolers chill air through internal evaporation before recirculating it, this Shark model uses a fan and misting mechanism to emit a cooling vapour. It retails at £129.99 and comes in a selection of colours including Dove and Quartz Pink (shown in our testing photos), although currently only Charcoal is readily available here in the UK. How we test air coolers Our air cooler reviews are based on hands-on testing inside our reviewers' homes (and in the case of portable models like the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo, in their gardens too). I set up the cooler, filled its tank and used all available settings and features to get a thorough overview of its effectiveness. To grade the air coolers, I considered cooling performance, design, quietness, ease of use and value. Each air cooler tends to be marketed for particular uses and audiences, and this is taken into account during scoring. For example, the FlexBreeze HydroGo is sold as a portable model, so I paid more critical attention to its lightweight design and battery life than to its power and tank capacity. Why you can trust Telegraph Recommended Our thorough, real-world tests will always help you find the best product. No manufacturer ever sees Telegraph Recommended reviews before publication and we don't accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, nor do we allow brands to pay for placement in our articles. All opinions are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Power and cooling Score: 9/10 The FlexBreeze HydroGo provided excellent cooling, both outdoors and inside the house, during my testing. In contrast to more conventional air coolers, you can clearly feel that this model produces a fine vapour. In my opinion that's a lovely thing, but it could be off-putting for users whose homes are afflicted with damp. Other types of air coolers also add moisture to the air; you just don't see it. Naturally, the cooling effect is strongest when you're close to the fan, but the effect is still tangible several metres away, even outdoors. When I used it in my living room, the entire space felt cooler. There are five fan speeds to choose from, and I found the lower three enough for indoor cooling. For group use in an outdoor setting, you'll need the higher speeds. It's also worth playing around with the misting settings ('continuous' or 'interval' which causes vapour to be released only half of the time). In my experience, interval misting provided adequate cooling while using water more conservatively. Design Score: 10/10 What the iPod did for portable music players, the FlexBreeze HydroGo might do for air coolers and fans. This brilliantly designed, finished and user-friendly gadget is worlds apart from the average white box domestic competitors and even the misting fans seen lining European restaurant terraces. The compact design is a true match for everyday life (and for the occasional nature of our summers, since you'll probably want to keep it in storage through the colder months). I loved the look of this cooler straight out of the box and it only impressed me more on closer inspection. Its components feel robust and pleasantly textured, and I soon found that every feature works as you'd hope. Charging is simple (via the included mains adaptor), topping up the integrated water reservoir using a jug is foolproof and at less than two kilograms, the fully loaded cooler weighs little more than a bag of sugar. It's conventional, these days, for products such as a newly released air cooler to feature a connected app that provides some extra functionality (of variable merit). In this case, there isn't one, so all of the smarts are inherent to the innovative design: its against-the-grain cooling action, peerless portability and intuitive on-unit controls. Quietness Score: 10/10 Using my smartphone's sound meter app, I measured the operating noise levels of the FlexBreeze HydroGo at 57 to 75dB, which is quiet for a fan-based appliance. These measurements were taken close to the fan blade, so it's worth noting that the sound is quieter at a reasonable distance. Better still, the character of the sound is relatively kind on the ear: a deep rush, rather than the unpleasant whine that's quite common among fans. It's worth noting that the misting mechanism makes a distinct sound while active: a sort of 'pssst', similar to the sound of some automated air dispensers. This is most noticeable when it repeatedly stops and starts during interval mode operation. Ease of use Score: 9/10 It's hard to imagine how an air cooler could be much easier to use than the FlexBreeze HydroGo. The misting and fan settings can be toggled with the quick press of a button, while filling, tilting and charging the cooler can all be mastered in a matter of seconds. Helpfully, Shark has added removable stickers to the device that tell you exactly how each of these features should be used. My only significant quibble is that the 150ml water reservoir requires frequent top-ups: once every half hour during continuous misting, or hourly when you've selected the interval mode. During a heatwave you could save yourself a few trips to the kitchen tap by keeping a full jug or water bottle close to the cooler. Note too that there's a small moisture cap at the centre of the fan cover, which you'll need to flip open to allow misting. Closing this after use will prevent dripping. Quality and value Score: 10/10 At £129.99 this is not exactly a cheap gadget, but the price is comparable to those of other top-rated air coolers such as the Princess Smart Air Cooler and Symphony Diet 3D 12i Tower Air Cooler. That outlay won't give you the most power for your pound, but what you'll get is an air cooler that's well suited to everyday home use, with a presentable finish and terrific cooling performance, especially at close quarters. The FlexBreeze HydroGo feels robust (which is impressive considering its negligible weight), with watertight tabs over the reservoir inlet and power input. If something should happen to go wrong with the cooler, you're covered by a two-year manufacturer's warranty (terms apply). Technical specifications While the FlexBreeze HydroGo is boundary-pushing, it's not the only small air cooler that's impressed our team. Another model worth considering is the Tristar Air Cooler, which costs significantly less at £75 and compares favourably on raw performance data. Should you buy the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Portable Misting Fan? We've not awarded any air coolers a 10 out of 10, since they still can't rival portable air conditioner units when it comes to tangibly lowering thermostats. But for its features, this design came close to perfection for me. The lightweight design with built-in misting makes it more versatile than most fans and a great heatwave companion. Yes, if: You want a small, convenient air cooler that's perfect for most home users Attractive and user-friendly design matter to you You'd like to take an air cooler with you into the garden or on your travels No, if: You've got a large home to keep cool Refilling your air cooler's water tank is a hated chore Using a connected app suits you better than simple, on-unit controls Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo FAQs How long does the Shark FlexBreeze last? The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Portable Misting Fan qualifies for a two-year manufacturer's guarantee, although you must register the product with Shark in order to receive this cover. Beyond that time period it's difficult to assess how much longer the product might last, since it was released recently. It's worth noting that the fan's operation is reliant on an in-built lithium-ion battery and these tend to degrade after years of use. Still, you can expect no less than a few summers of perfect functioning. How much electricity does a Shark fan use? Different models of Shark fan draw power at varying rates, depending on their input wattage. Charging or powering the FlexBreeze HydroGo Portable Misting Fan draws no more than 42W, which will cost you fractionally over £0.01 per hour based on current UK electricity rates. This level of power consumption is normal for a small fan, while large or high-speed fan models sometimes require more than double the power. Meanwhile, a small air conditioning unit would typically use anywhere from 900W to 1,500W to keep a room cool. Is Shark FlexBreeze an air circulator? Air circulators are a subcategory of fans with automated oscillation. A tilting or turning mechanism continually changes their direction (up and down and/or left and right) to recirculate air throughout a room. The Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo does not have this feature so it can't be classed as an air circulator. However, the FlexBreeze HydroGo does have 45 degrees of vertical tilt, so you can manually adjust the direction of cooling to promote circulation. Keeping the fan well away from open windows and directing airflow towards windows may improve the rate of recirculation.
