Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39

This shoe has really taken me everywhere! Track, trail, gravel, grass, road, dirt; anywhere you can think of, it can handle the terrain! What’s important to know about the pegasus line is that Nike makes a big difference in the shoe every other year. The Pegasus 39 was redesigned much better than the mediocre Peg 38 and that was something that caught my eye at first. The reason that I didn’t buy the Peg 40 after having multiple pairs of the Peg 39 is that it was practically the exact same! The difference between small changes in the upper but really, that doesn’t make a difference. You could buy a Peg 39, and still can, for a huge discount for such a versatile and trustworthy trainer. Currently I am on my fourth pair of the shoe and I have nothing bad to say. This shoe can take on long hilly runs, stride runs, tempo runs, and workouts. The air zoom pods in the front embedded in the foam are what makes the feel of the truly unlike any other. All shoes have a special way they feel when turning over and for the peg, it’s the pods. Overall, it’s a lightweight shoe that is very durable and can bring you many miles of quality running.

Put simply, the Pegasus 39 is yet another solid edition. Sufficient cushioning for a good ride, but plenty of feel and control as well. Doesn’t have the bounce or the obvious return of the higher end Nike’s, but wouldn’t expect it for half the price. Holds up very nice (5 months at 50K a week). It’s just hard to beat Pegasus for an everyday running shoe at the price point, especially given the frequency they are on sell (well, less desirable color ways at least).

The Nike Peg is a consistent, not at all flashy trainer. Not the prettiest, not the snappiest, but all-around solid. I've worn many iterations over the years because it's comfortable straight from the box and lasts 300+ miles depending on whether I'm alternating with another shoe. 

i have never had any big problems with this shoe, the only thing is the laces were a little short for a runners loop. the stack is good for almost everything, from strides to long runs. i did intervals,strides,tempos long and easy runs in it and never really had any problems. the only other thing is it is not very good for competitive races.i raced a few XC 5ks in it and much preferred my spikes.

Great shoes for XC training

I’ve been wearing Pegasus for over 10 years now and the 39 was the best one in a while.   The Pegasus is comfortable, supportive and cushioned, but still feels relatively light and is nice looking.  

Shoe that can be used for any variety of easy running and still feels comfortable picking up to some faster distances paces, good durability I often take up to 500-550 miles, often on sale.

I've ran extensively in most of the models between 32-39. For purposes of relevance in my opinion the 34 was a pretty good all around trainer and several models since have been mostly duds or at best expensive walking shoes. I did like the 37 as a durable milage eater. The 39 is lighter and faster than the 37 making it a better all purpose trainer. I will not get the 500 miles out of the 39 which I did on the 37. The 39's upper at 200 miles is still 100% intact and the outsole rubber shoes almost no wear but the midsole foam is beginning to bottom out which is disappointing. I would buy the 39 again at the right price. 

I had problems with Pegasus versions 36-38, as the rubber lugs glued to the midsole would start to peel off. Also, laces on 38 were a PIA to tighten. Pegasus 39 has taken care of both problems

Beat these shoes up during summer training and they held up incredibly. Ran over 300 miles and they still are in decent shape. Very breathable shoes.
