Since its inception, the Air Pegasus has been a lightweight staple for the running community and has evolved to incorporate new technology as the brand grows. First introduced in 1983, the shoe was named after Pegasus - the winged horse in Greek mythology - and was designed to express quickness, almost like you’re flying! Not to mention, it's responsive, snappy and offers sublime ground contact without sacrificing comfort or cushioning.While the Nike Air Pegasus often flies under the radar, the shoe has been reworked almost once a year for nearly four decades and has held the spot as Nike’s best-selling running shoe of all time. Well done, Nike.įor a similar running experience, try the Saucony Kinvara 12 on for size: this is one of the fastest running trainers on the market today. Thanks to the combination of the ‘evolved’ Flyknit upper, ZoomX foam, padded collar and puffy tongue, comfort is elevated to the next level. If you need running shoes that are even more cushioned than the Pegasus 37, try the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 review: also consider Recommended for: train, jogging and mid- to long-distance runs. It's a versatile running trainer that offers good energy returns and support. The best thing about the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 is that it doesn't force you to compromise on performance and comfort. Better still, the Pegasus 37 is not an absolute eyesore either so it could be worn for other things than just running. The combination of the React foam and the Zoom Air units work well together, making runs both enjoyable and effective. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 is a great running trainer. (Image credit: Nike) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 review: the verdict No one expected subtle branding from Nike. Fun fact: the gradient-coloured areas highlight the placement of the Zoom Air bags in the forefoot.Īnd, of course, there is a huge swoosh on the lateral side of the upper and a smaller one (albeit still relatively large) around the heel in the medial side. That said, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 is not pure white, the side of the foam is shaded with gradient colours, blue-to-green on the medial side and purple-to-red on the lateral side. Not like the bright white main colour is subtle but at least it's not fluorescent yellow or vibrant pink. A lot of people will probably appreciate that Nike moved away from using the bright colours of the Vaporfly and opted in for less harsh colours here.

At the moment, I dare say Nike running shoes look better than the best Adidas running shoes, although the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro looks pretty snazzy for a racing shoe. Undeniably, Nike manufactures good looking shoes. (Image credit: Nike) Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 review: the aesthetics In my opinion it helped a great deal in improving stability. The Zoom Air unit actually shrank since the last iteration of the shoes where it was full-sized. This doesn't mean the Peg 37 is not a fast running shoe: the Zoom Air bags under the forefoot will provide plenty of energy return. Don't get me wrong, I ran amazing times in the Vaporfly (compared to my usual pace) but still, running in the Pegasus 37 I felt less pressured to push myself to the limits and more inclined to just enjoy the ride. It is soft and bouncy and cushioned, all at the same time. I liked the React foam before but I only really warmed to it wearing the Pegasus 37. There is a lot of support on offer here and the padding is just sublime. I found the collar of the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail a bit too low, but that's not the case with the Pegasus 37. The heel area really elevates the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 above the competition. As much as I love the softer laces on my trusty Brooks Hyperion Tempo, the more traditional laces of the Pegasus 37 work well too. The toebox is roomy but not loose and there is ample amount of support on the medial and lateral side of the shoes, just under the eyelets. The Pegasus 37 was comfortable to wear and to run in, despite me having a wide feet. Although the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 uses a similar-looking sole structure as the Vaporfly, due to the more stable React foam, the Peg 37 is much more forgiving than its racing sibling. It breaks my heart when I see pronating runners trying to use the thin Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% platform on races: their stride breaks at every step, struggling to keep the foot balanced.
