Nike Pegasus Premium Reviews

Bought on sale, the Pegasus Premium felt really good on a 60-minute steady rolling run; heavy by today's standards but not unstable to this runner.

This runner found good energy return in the Pegasus Premium at 6–7 min/mile, better than their Superblast 2, but sees it as a vacation shoe due to its weight.

About 100 miles in just under two months, in cool to warm and wet to dry conditions. They found the true-to-size fit close to ideal and the traditional Pegasus ride fun, best for forefoot strikers, a bit slappy at midfoot and steadier than expected for heel striking, though not for weak ankles. The upper and foam held up well, but the very firm outsole wore almost through under the right forefoot, partly down to their own gait. At about 311 g it is heavy, though they never noticed it.

After an unimpressive 3.5 miles, a 9-mile run in the Pegasus Premium felt great with really nice bounce, though the weight showed on inclines.

Two testers; one did a 12-mile first run, then hill repeats and a few wet runs. Both loved the bouncy, energetic ride, and that one found the cushioning great, with fresh legs afterwards and fine rain traction. At about 345 g in a men's 10.5 it is very heavy, though neither minded on the road, and the narrow build makes it less stable, so it is not for those needing a steady ride. One thought the upper premium and well dialed in, the other disliked how narrow it looks from above.
