![]() Having run in at least two dozen of its predecessors since 1984, this version felt like what I might expect out of a shoe carrying the Pegasus name. I took the new Pegasus out for five runs, ranging from 3 miles to 10 miles at a variety of paces. It could even be used for 5K to half marathon races. That might be troublesome for runners who experience swelling feet during long runs on hot days, but otherwise it creates a very lively vibe for shorter, faster runs. Like a lot of Nike shoes, it has a snug fit from heel to forefoot, and, although it fits true to size, the toe box is low-volume and doesn’t allow much wiggle room. The new midsole foam package enhances its ability to run fast but also makes it more comfortable and energetic on long runs. You’re looking for a versatile everyday trainer than can tackle long runs, tempo runs, speed workouts and recovery runs. It also has a new, lightweight engineered upper, sturdy, iridescent eye stays (but no more Flywire internal support cords integrated with the lacing system) and a partially gusseted tongue. Whereas the Pegasus 36 had a thin, full-length Zoom Air bag embedded in the midsole, Pegasus 37 has a much thicker Zoom Air bag only in the forefoot, plus it’s tuned differently for men and women. The midsole is now made from React foam, a soft, resilient material that puts more energy in every stride than the previous Cushlon foam. This year’s Pegasus has gone through a mild overhaul, with substantial changes to the upper and midsole cushioning resulting in a softer, snappier ride. This year’s “Peg” continues those traditions, along with being a versatile shoe for a wide range of runners. However, most of those models have been moderately light, well-cushioned shoes with a snug, athletic fit. But while it has always been known as a neutral, cushioned everyday training workhorse, none of those 37 models have been quite the same - and some have been considerably different - because Nike is always making tweaks, changes and even complete overhauls, no matter how well received any particular shoe has been received. Now in its 37th edition, Pegasus is one of the best-selling shoes of all-time. Heel-Toe Offset: 10mm (31.5mm heel, 21.5mm forefoot)
