Nike Pegasus Premium first runs

It’s Pegasus Premium release week and I was able to get these in early thanks to this community and Fleet Feet

Came in Friday, did 4.5 miles easy pace on Saturday then a 12 miler on Sunday, half easy and half at marathon pace

Profile: 6’ 150lbs Midfoot striker 5k pace: 6:45 10k pace: 7:05 HM Pace: 7:40 Marathon pace: 8:30 Easy pace 9:30

Fit/Upper: Fits like a typical Nike. TTS and slightly narrow. If Nikes are typically too narrow for you, you’ll probably have a similar experience in these.

Feels like a typical training upper with racing ventilation holes. Laces are short, so might need to get longer ones for anyone that uses the runners knots

Ride/Midsole: If you ever had experience with full length zoom before, you’ll know the deal. There’s nothing else in the market I’ve experience that feels like Zoom. When walking, it’s soft and extra bouncy. When running, it firms up and extra bouncy. The more force you up into the zoom bag, the bouncier it feels. Most of the weight is from the midsole, but I think the amount of bounce makes up for it.

Runs like a neutral shoe and I think it works very well for heel strikers. Feels really smooth transitioning from heel to toe. Doesn’t feel clunky to me at all and doesn’t feel as max stack compared to the Puma MagMax. My last pic compared my long run shoes, SB2s midsole is longer, and MagMax midsole is much wider.

Outsole only has 16 miles in them. Mostly on road, some snow and ice. No wear at all, and based on how the lugs are, going to be hard to tell. Feels like it’ll be pretty durable.

Overall: Real fun and bouncy. I thought the Puma MagMax was bouncy, these take it a notch higher. Some might find the weight a problem, but if you have ran in other heavy trainers, these won’t feel any heavier. Works great for Easy/Marathon/Half Marathon paces, will probably reach for my Zoom Fly 6 for any faster paces. I’ve really enjoyed the shoe so far, looking forward to putting more miles.

Going to grab a 2nd pair for casual use and keep these exclusively for running. Probably grab the pink pair for my gf because they are so comfortable
