Nike Pegasus... What happened??

Wore Pegasus for 20 years. Switched to Altras with forefoot strike and love 'em. Shin and knee pain gone

I think they are a great shoe for the price. They are not extremely good in any one category but all around I have had no problems in them and I can easily afford 5+ pairs a year

I have had great luck with Nike in the past few years. I switch between Nike Peg and Nike Vomero. The Peg is a little firmer and the Vomero slightly softer and a more of a plush feel. Really good shoes.

Real runners don't train in Nikes; they only race in them.

Huh, I guess I am not a real runner then. Because I race and train in Nike's. I use the structure and elite to train and race in the streak and victory. I loved the Pegasus 31-33 until I found out my arch collapsed but Nike makes high quality running shoes now. Their Free line is a little iffy, but otherwise, most of the shoes are great!

Time to make a shift to the Zoom Flys. Far superior than the Pegs!!!! I'm a big fan of the Pegs too!!!

FYI,

Running warehouse just reduced prices on Peg 34. I just bought another pair.

It still is the best, you just got older.

I personally think that the Pegasus has been greatly improved over the last few years. Lighter weight, more flexible, better cushioning under the forefoot, and much less clunky looking than past versions. But everyone's feet and bio-mechanics are obviously different.

I wondered this. Thanks for posting. I assume the Vomero gives more protection for daily training?

I’ve been running in Pegasus for 15 years. I have really liked the 33 and 34. Much better than the models immediately prior.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I used to be able to skip a version if they f-ed with it too much, but when the 32s came out I immediately returned them and bought up every pair of 30s I could find.

The new Peg 35s are going to have a ZoomX midsole (like on the Vaporfly 4%). So if you don't like your Pegs fked with, this is your warning that these shoes are going to be very different once again.

Yes, Vomero gives me a little more shock absorbtion and more filled -in under the arch. Kind of a "super Peg"

Pegasus is the new Vomero.

Vomero is the new Pegasus.

Conduct yourselves accordingly.

I haven't bought a pair of Pegasus since they stopped making them for a year. Went with Vortex and Venues that year and then the Pegasus came back $30 more. WTF happend? I switched to Asic Gels and haven't bought Nikes since.

WRONG - Real Runners? X X X -- Real runners definitely train in Nike's ... both for easy runs & DEFINITELY for workouts ('Real Runners' train in flats/spikes at least 2-3 times per week). Nike makes the best road flats/spikes. period. end of argument. The Pegasus is back on track + The elite is a great option for runners with efficient gates... Some of the very best (including medalists @ WCs & Olympics) train in those for a fact.

Any Pegasus long timers try Glycerin 15? Ran in it today and it feels really good. I didn't like the Ghost 6 from years ago so I never went to Brook again until now. It reminds me of Vomero 6 from years ago.

No Nike spikes peaked back in 2003-2005, with the Ventulus 2 and the Jasari.

Usain Bolt uses Puma, WvN uses the Adidas Prime something.

The Adios still holds the WR for the marathon.

The Avanti 2 is great for old Men like me.

Adidas & Puma were founded by Nazi Party members. Nike is horrendously rotten. New Balance are hurting my legs. Asics are worse.
