Nike Air Pegasus ALL NEW MODELS 30, 31, 32 and up

sort of want to make an ID

I'm a huge fan of that midsole geometry. The upper looks reminiscent of the Free Trainer v7. @RFX45
 go try that on and see how the upper feels. The lacing structure has me concerned. I think they'd need one more row to secure the forefoot.


I'll go check it out, hopefully it works because I had to return the LunarEpics2 because of that bootie construction granted it was a flyknit upper. Thanks for the tip.

Pegasus if you actually plan to run in them.

AlphaBounce are great but it's not really ideal for anything outside of walking.
 
Do you squat or deadlift (or do Olympic Lifts) at the gym? If you do any of those, I would probably probably go with the Alphabounce if you're just on treadmill. Although I have not seen it happen, the Zoom Air units in the Pegasus could potentially pop. That said, if you aren't going super heavy, you're probably fine with the Pegasus.
 
Like I said, I've never seen it, but any material with gaps in it poses a risk. It's also why I never recommend Mizuno shoes for lifts. The Wave plate tech they have has air pockets, essentially. Plus, the Zoom Air units are built to compress and expand within a second or so. Prolonged compression is not their main function, so could lead to com prosimians structural integrity.Your other option is to just take your shoes off for those lifts, but that can vary based on your gym's policy.
 
Anyone tried the VaporMax or new Zoom Fly yet?

I thought the VaporMax made a good case for why they SHOULDN'T put Flyknit on more shoes. The flexibility of Flyknit doesn't mesh with how rigid the midsole is.

The Zoom Fly I really liked, though. If you've ever tried out Hoka shoes, it felt a lot like that, but with better toe-off.
 
I have the dark gray/blue with the orange Pegs. I have the 32s and the 34s are way more comfortable. The zoom in the forefoot makes a huge difference. I love the pegasus line, always fits true to size for me and the break in time is minimal.
 
Nike say a key difference between the Pegasus 33 and Pegasus 34 is the enhanced Cushlon ST foam, although they list both pegs with the same material code for the sole...
 

I found this on IG, a video of what looks to be the Pegasus 35.


I hope that's it. Somebody posted a picture in here that had a boogie upper. That one in the video looks to still have a physical tongue, and a more traditional lacing system.
 
From my own experience with both of them and everything I've heard from other users here and reviewers on other sites, yeah, it's a little stiffer.
 
For the record the pegasus 35 do have a bootie upper. The Nike FR Distance 2 bootie is similar to the pegasus 35 one.

ALSO for those wondering why the Pegasus 35 has a sole close to the new Zoom Fly, that's because the streak 6, elite 9 and vaporfly 4% were designed at the same time. (You will see the elite 9 has the pointed end on the sole). The new point design is something they came up with when they were designing the shoes and the result was so positive that they are now adding it onto future shoes and spikes.
 
Also another note is the the elite 9 is designed to be the training model of the streak 6.

It would be more apt I think to say that they are cousins, as the Elite features forefoot Zoom, compared to the Streak's heel Zoom. And if I remember correctly, they use different lasts. The Elite has no direct corollary. Perhaps the Structure or Span, as a stability versions. I'm curious how the Rival and Streak will continue going forward, with the introduction of the Breaking2 racing models. If I had to guess, those will be their "budget" or "traditional" racers.
But yeah, the "point" at the heel is supposed to give the shoes a more aerodynamic profile.
