I particularly noted that the heel hold was both more secure and more comfortable, as was the lace up over the toe padded tongue along with the mid foot hold from the new webbing straps extending to the midsole and finally from a more accommodating toe box with no rough edges but not quite the all business (overdone) lockdown of the 37. We also get a padded tongue instead of an unpadded leather like one and more collars padding. My women's 37 at true to size was a perfect fit for me due to its lighter upper materials.
Trying them on I immediately noted that the new Air Mesh upper was softer on the foot, had more toe box height, and slightly more volume than the Peg 37 the result of a new last (more like the Peg 36’s) and a new “air mesh” in place of the scratchy and kind of rough 37’s. Fit is true to size unlike 37 men's where even at a half size up in the men's and with to much length things felt snug. My Peg 37 in both the men’s and the women’s (which I also tested) was considerably more conservative in looks than either men’s or women’s 38. Sam: Sleek, low slung and fast looking we also see a fun clash of colors all of it kind of masking the Peg’s utilitarian purpose as a fairly priced, durable, stable and versatile old school trainer-albeit one with Nike’s newer React Foam, a large Zoom Air pod and modern upper. I love the two tone white and black with the multicolor pink/blue loops that secure the laces. Walking around, the shoe feels like it has firm and responsive foam, excellent heel cushioning and a firmer forefoot. This is actually the first Nike I’ve run in a while, so I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and versatility of the Pegasus 38.
They still fit true-to-size, with one of the nicer standard-shaped toy boxes.Īdam: The Nike Pegasus is a do it all shoe that Nike refers to as a workhorse with wings. All that being said, the upper fit is much better for me, with a softer feel throughout and a roomier to ebox. Last year we got the tick, which was a very different shoe than the year before, this year we get the tock, which is the result of taking last year’s shoe and refining the upper and the fit.
NIKE AIR ZOOM PEGASUS 38. UPDATE
Jeff: Welcome to the “tock”! In last year’s RTR Review, Michael so eloquently described Nike’s update cycle of the Pegasus as a tick-tock pattern. He is 5’9” tall and weighs about 164 lbs. These days he runs halves in the just sub 1:40 range training 30-40 miles per week mostly at moderate paces on the roads and trails of New Hampshire and Utah. Sam has been running for over 48 years and has a 2:28 marathon PR. He is 64 with a 2018 3:40 Boston qualifier. Sam is the Editor and Founder of Road Trail Run. Jeff has finished several ultra marathons, from 50K up to 50 miles, and is still debating if he wants to go down that road again. Jeff only got into running in his 30s, as a result his career PR's are 4:07 for the marathon and 5K at 23:39. Jeff runs 30 miles per week on roads and trails around Denver, CO (and sometimes on the treadmill when the weather gets too much for a Phoenix native). Jeff is the token slow runner of the RTR lineup, and as such his viewpoints on shoe and gear can differ from those who routinely finish marathons in three hours or less. Sam: Ride is duller, denser, heavier and dated compared to some of its competition. Jeff: Shoe got 16g heavier since last year in my sizeĪdam: Feels a lot harsher midfoot striking than it does heel striking Sam: Far more comfortable upper than 37, yet still Peg secure and locked inĪdam/Sam: Upper is thick which makes the shoe somewhat heavy Sam: Protective well cushioned, stable ride Sam: Solid value at $120 for a durable workhorse of a shoe that can handle most all training from slow and easy to workouts. $120.Īdam/Sam: Comfortably wide toe box, good heel holdĪdam/Sam: Versatile outsole and stable cushioning for a variety of terrains and paces Stack Height: 23mm (forefoot) / 33mm (heel), 10mm offsetĪvailable now in many colors and also in wide. Estimated Weight: men's 9.92 oz / 281g (US9) / women's / (US8)
