Nike Juoksukengät 'Pegasus Premium' vaaleansininen / musta / hopea

The Nike Pegasus Premium delivers great cushioning that feels soft from heel to toe when walking or lightly jogging, but quickly becomes very firm when force increases. As such, this shoe feels most comfortable on short, easy runs.

At first glance, I thought the Pegasus Premium would be a firm shoe, but I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was. I really enjoyed the amount of springiness underfoot, and I found that this shoe had the perfect amount of cushioning for me.

I immediately liked the Pegasus Premium and appreciated it more the longer I had it. From the cool style to the comfortable underfoot feel, I think most people who get this shoe on their feet will enjoy it. Before testing, I wasn't sure if the Air Zoom unit would be gimmicky and more just for looks (I do love the Nike racing shoes with this feature). However, it created a springy underfoot feel that I noticed whether I was running fast or just walking. Where the shoe really shined for me was on long runs with some faster paces mixed in mid-run. I found it had plenty of cushioning for my long runs of 7 to 10 miles. I would probably choose something else for track workouts and my fastest efforts. Also, the price is a consideration. $210 is a lot for a trainer, and I don't think I'd personally spend that. However, it is a fun, versatile shoe and I will continue to wear it after testing.

The Nike Pegasus Premium is a short-distance trainer that offers a surprisingly springy and enjoyable ride. However, its substantial weight of 325 grams deviates from the expected feel of a super trainer, and leans more towards the comfort and style of a lifestyle sneaker. It’s too heavy for uptempo runs and too unstable for long runs; this makes it a very niche offering and a questionable investment for serious runners considering its high price.
