![]() He walked me through all the changes to the Pegasus from bottom to top. Review: The night I picked up the sneakers, I had the chance to chat with Chris Nuelle, an EKIN for Nike (a group of Nike employees tasked with brand storytelling and marketing), who has been running for Nike for two years. ![]() The New Balance 880V7 ( $115) and the Saucony Ride 10 ( $72), also have similar neutral cushioning. Other similar running sneakers include the Asics Cumulus 19 ( $120), Brooks Ghost 9 ( $78) and Mizuno Wave Rider 20 ( $90). But once I hit those 11 miles, I felt like I could run forever.Īlternatives: There are a lot of differences between the Nike Air Pegasus 34s ( $65) and the 35s, so be sure to test them out in stores before settling with the former model. I played around with the fit quite a bit, testing out different ways of tieing the laces to adjust to just four toe eyelets as opposed to five.

An update to the airbags underfoot provide a thin, yet firm layer of cushioning that stretches from heel to toe. The mesh is more breathable, looks fresh and feels great. The Good: Thanks to cutouts in the outsole, the Pegasus 35 is. We took them for a spin to see how they compare to the Pegasus 34s. It’s snappier than previous iterations, fast on foot and durable enough for a 10-miler. ![]() The Zoom Pegasus 35 is a revamp starting with the outsole all the way up to the tongue.
