It is not a plush cushion soft, but adequately soft and softer than the previous editions and yet firmer enough to put on tons of kilometers. It is durable and is believed to last about 25% more than the other foam out there. The Pegasus 39 midsole features Nike’s React foam. Much lighter than Pegasus 38, and now in the league

Spoiler alert, it’s an excellent and a much recommended daily trainer from Nike. Contrary to what happened in the recent past with the Pegasus line finally, it is refreshing to see 39 follow a diet and shred some weight. I was well prepared to unbox just another heavy daily trainer and that’s exactly where the surprise began. The Pegasus 39 was due for significant updates and the changes are quite visible right out of the box. Pegasus has always been known for its cushy and responsive ride and is the best-selling shoe for many other reasons, so Nike wouldn’t shy away from correcting a few elements to offer a better overall ride. Both the previous editions had a wider toe box which doesn’t work well for me. I tried the Pegasus 37, but the fit didn’t work well personally, Pegasus 38 was also a disappointment. The next in line, Pegasus 36 didn’t feature any significant updates, since Nike believes in providing major updates once in two years. Did anyone say over-plush tongue? Damn! I loved it, through the 1500+KMs mileage, I had put in them. The first in the series I picked was Pegasus 35, which featured a full-length air zoom pocket, and Flywire, and there was no reason to hate it. I was quick to pick up the Pegasus 39 from a retail outlet in Mumbai, for review purposes.


Surprisingly, never before have I seen Nike launching something globally and retail stores in India at the same time. This article first appeared on shoegeeks.inĮvery summer, we look forward to what Nike has got to offer in the Pegasus series, an iconic neutral daily trainer.
