It’s a very flexible shoe, it took us only 20.1N to bend it at room temperature, and 31.4N after chilling with ice cream and petit gateau. They even claim that it has an "octopus- sucker-like" grip!ĭoing flexibility tests also confirmed that Peg 39 is great for running at cold temperatures. 83% of the critics find it "one of the most aggressive outsole setups" they've ever encountered in a daily running shoe. This is especially true on wet concrete, light trails, and grassy terrain. Sticks better than your regular daily trainers The Nike Pegasus Air Zoom 39 wraps so securely "excellent" has been the most frequent word used to describe its foothold. It not only locks the foot in it also prevents tongue slide. What's more is it doesn't cut into your feet.Ĭomplementing it is the shoe's tongue that's attached to the inner sleeve. In this iteration, the Nike Flywire makes a " triumphant return," providing a snug midfoot lockdown. Lockdown has never been this goodĮspecially for a Nike Pegasus. Despite it being considered by some as "bottom-heavy" because of the copious amount of rubber it has, the general consensus about the Peg's "big weight loss" has been positive. It's not only lighter than its predecessor it's also lighter than its peers like the Brooks Ghost 14 (280 grams/9.9 ounces) and the NB 880 v11 (275 grams/9.7 ounces). The average for all shoes that went through our lab is 9.6 oz or 272g. What's worse is the airbag feels intrusive the "lumpy sensation" gets in the way when really slowing it down. The new Zoom Air pod in the forefoot creates a "disjointed feel" that makes the heel-to-toe transitions suffer. Your browser does not support the video tag. The average difference between these 2 widths is 13.3mm.Īt the heel, the difference is very noticeable with the midsole being 83.2mm wide and the average is 88.7mm. At the forefoot, the upper is 11.2mm narrower than the midsole.On average, we see a difference of 12.9mm here. At the heel, the upper is 9.9mm narrower than the midsole.However, looking at the difference between the width of the midsole and the upper, we get these numbers: So it’s a slightly lower-to-the-ground shoe. At the heel, we’ve measured 30.3mm (the average is 32.7) and at the forefoot, we’ve measured 22.3 (vs 24.1mm that’s the average). Definitely, there’s a less-than-average amount of cushioning. In the lab, not much goes on to confirm why this shoe feels especially stable. This is thanks to the shoe's relatively firm midsole and tacky grip. Out of all the runners who mentioned stability, more than half of them agree that it "feels planted" when cornering. Not exactly weight-wise, but stability-wise. The durometer showed 15.5 when measuring the softness of the midsole which is 60% softer than the average (28.6).
