Nike Pegasus Turbo

There are several Turbo 2s on Amazon (mostly other sellers using Amazon). Bought a pair on eBay last night for $100. Seller claims they're new & in box. Free returns, so if they wind up not as promised, I'll just send them back.

Have you ran in them before?

Cushioned?

Light, soft(but not too soft) and fast feeling. So...nothing like the regular pegs.

They were discontinued some time ago

I love the original Pegasus Turbos so I went on ebay and purchased a few pairs....ok I was drunk and maybe purchased enough for the next 5 years but you can still find them on ebay pretty cheap. Brand new or very very lightly worn. One pair I got with no insoles for 50 dollars.

Easy to find for cheap on eBay.

I prefer the Pegasus 35 Turbo over the Turbo 2.

What size are you needing?

Depends. I prefer the T2. The T1 gets waterlogged as a mofo if used for long runs in the summer. T1 is more plush, T2 is more like a slimmed down, speed machine upper wise but the sole is exactly the same I believe.

I have the Turbo 2 and they’re very light yet enough support for a long run. I’ve done speed workouts, easy runs and a 16 mile long run in these. I don’t wear them often because I know they get that “flat” feeling after 200 miles if you don’t rotate them.

Yes the turbo 2 has a slimmed down upper and heel collar. With less cushion in the Turbo 2 heel collar the ride is slightly changed. I find the plush heel lockdown of the 35 Turbo to be one of the very best of all time.

Yes the upper can soak up a lot of moisture in the 35 Turbo.

The midsole is identical in both shoes. React on the bottom, zoomx above it. I believe the zoomX is around 55% and react 45%.

The only major downside to these two shoes in my opinion is where they bend. It’s kind of strange. They sort of bend near the middle, where most other shoes will bend more towards the toe.

SoleReview did a very good analysis of the two shoes if you’re looking for more in depth descriptions. Definitely worth a read.

They're brilliant!

I've got over 600 miles on my Peg Turbo 2 and they still feel pretty good. Even the soles aren't badly worn down. One recommendation is not to kick them off using the foam at the back because I've seen reports of this coming away from the upper.

Why did they discontinue these shoes? It makes little sense to me. I had the 1's and 2's and both were fantastic.

I have the Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit and it kind of sucks. It's pretty clunky and stiff and I'm going to "hate run" in these until I kill them off.

I also have the most recent Pegasus 37 and it's a little softer than the React but not nearly as soft as the Turbos. If they are going to keep making the Pegasus every year, my suggestion is for them to use the Turbo soles/cushioning for the next model so that everyone is happy.

I refuse to buy any Nike shoes that cross the $200 mark like the Vaporfly and Alphafly.
