The updated tread pattern on the outsole also helps to provide a better grip. Nike took some of the research from the breaking 2 project and applied it to the standard daily trainer.Ĭombined with the full-length air zoom unit it gives the shoe a much smoother ride. The sole unit is the main update in this model of the Pegasus. These are shoes you can take straight from the box and go into a run without needing to break them in.

My first thought when I put the shoe on was that it felt very natural for a 10mm toe drop. The streamlined look is very aesthetically pleasing. When I first took these shoes out of the box it was like looking at something from a Sci-Fi movie. The Pegasus has always been one the more popular shoes for Nike, and this shoe is no exception. The shoe that seems closest to this would be the Epic React flyknit.

I think one of the best aspects of this shoe is its ability to cater to many different types of runners. “Normally you don’t get all three from shoes.The Pegasus 35 is an amazing daily trainer for its price. “The ride is comfortable, responsive, and snappy,” said one tester. The resulting shoe hits a sweet spot that so many trainers strive for. Nike says the air unit is twice as big as previous Pegasus forefoot air units (the previous shoe had a full-length air pocket), and the entire shoe has 2mm more foam than the Pegasus 36. The midsole is all new, with springy React foam instead of Cushlon ST and a forefoot air unit-a pocket of air within the midsole. And we can report that the update is a great one, subtly improving on an already excellent all-rounder without putting a foot wrong. When Nike puts out a new Pegasus, the brand’s longest-running trainer, you had better believe a lot of thought went into it-especially now that the company has made 37 versions. Testers loved the smooth, energetic ride.The air unit is now just in the forefoot, but it’s twice as big as previous iterations for extra snap.

A new React foam midsole adds 2mm to the stack.The RW Takeaway: The Pegasus gets more responsive and more cushioned without losing any versatility.
