The Pegasus 38 has a comfortable ride so it makes a good daily trainer. When it comes to cushioning, the Pegasus 38 is medium soft, with its midsole density being softer than the Ghost 13, Ride 14 and Miler 2 but firmer than the Clifton 7 and Cumulus 23. I find the React foam of the Pegasus 38 a lot firmer and more responsive than the squishy, easily compressible React in the Infinity Run Flyknit 2 so if you found the Infinity Run too soft, the Pegasus 38 might be a better choice. I find myself trying to forefoot strike more in the Pegasus 38 than in any other shoe because of the thick airbag situated there so if you’re looking for a shoe that will encourage you to forefoot strike, I highly recommend the Peg 38.Įven though there’s a Zoom unit in the forefoot and not in the rear, the ride still feels very smooth because the rearfoot and the forefoot are quite similar in density so transitions don’t feel disjointed. The 10mm thick, large, forefoot-only Zoom Air unit provides a target landing area that absorbs shock and provides a pleasant springy rebound sensation. The Pegasus 38 is much more suited to longer runs at relaxed paces than shorter, faster runs.
The Peg 38 is very cushioned but the downside of the added cushioning in the Pegasus 38 is that the classic, all-rounder, versatile nature of the Pegasus takes a knock. It wasn’t a fun run because the ride of the Peg 38 is very “old school” as the midsole doesn’t provide a lot of energy return compared to newer nitrogen-infused shoes like the Rebel V2 with FuelCell or the Deviate Nitro with Nitro Foam. I did a 40 kilometre run in the Pegasus 38 and while it wasn’t a very fun run, it got the job done and offered my feet enough protection from the pounding. I find the current Pegasus to have noticeably more cushioning than the previous Pegasus versions due to the softer React foam and the thicker air bag.īefore the Pegasus 37, I wouldn’t even have dreamt of doing a marathon in the Pegasus but with the extra cushioning, it’s definitely doable. The Pegasus 38 has the exact same midsole and outsole as the Pegasus 37. I like the changes to the midsole that were introduced in the Pegasus 37 because I prefer softer shoes. Is the Pegasus still a fitting name for the Pegasus 38 and how does it compare to the other daily trainers? Nike Zoom Pegasus 38 First Impressions Nike named it the Pegasus after the winged horse to represent movement, quickness and the allure of flying. It has a new sandwich mesh, a new midfoot webbing system and a longer, more padded tongue. The Pegasus 38’s new upper is wider in the forefoot and built on the same last as previous versions of the Pegasus, before the 37th version. The Pegasus 37 felt like a rough prototype that should never have seen the light of day and most of the problems were upper related. When a shoe has been around for 37 years, everyone expects it to be perfect but the Pegasus 37 was far from it. These flaws were very uncharacteristic for the always consistent, ever-reliable Air Zoom Pegasus.
Its narrow fitting upper caused runners to get blisters on the medial side for their feet while the heel cup was too shallow so it resulted in major heel slippage.
