I’ve loved the Pegasus line of shoes, or maybe I love them so much since I hit 2000+ miles in a pair of the Nike Pegasus 29s. This can make or break the shoe for diehard Pegasus fans since issues around the ankle can be frustrating. The biggest changes from the predecessor are mostly in the upper around your heel, where Nike thinned out the tongue, made the heel counter and fabric around it sleeker and made some slight edits to the Flywire attachments. The midsole appears to be nearly identical to the predecessor, along with the general layout of the upper, so styling shouldn’t be a reason to upgrade either. The previous version of these shoes weighed exactly the same, so there’s not much of a need to upgrade for weight. The shoe just is there to give you the tried and tested tech that Nike has to offer right now. The shoe does miss out on high level tech like the Epic React Flyknits, or the crazy carbon fiber soles found in the Zoom VaporFly Elites. Nike stays close to this since the shoe is well below the high end shoe price points at $180+, the shoe contains a full length rubber outsole and durable upper, and the shoe has been slowly crafted to fit an average foot as best as possible. It’s the 36th version right now, so it’s been around for many years, and originated from the idea that shoes should be affordable, durable, and comfortable. Let’s do a quick history check on the Nike Pegasus line.
