Nike Pegasus 39

The Pegasus 39 scores primarily with its good fit and, with its comfortable properties, is undoubtedly a solid all-rounder. Nike has tamed its classic a bit here. Both the design and the running feeling are more reminiscent of the earlier models, i.e. before the time of the fast Vaporfly. I assume that Nike deliberately chose classic elements of the Pegasus series here. Tried-and-tested features paired with new, innovative materials that are more durable and lighter. At the same time, this is also my point of criticism. The lack of reactivity, i.e. the lack of bounce, is at the expense of running fun. Likewise, the shoe doesn't really move forward or show a responsive impression. The sole is designed to be a little flatter, so there is no great rocker geometry that ensures good propulsion. Well, we're talking about a different shoe here, but approaches in this direction have already been developed with Pegasus offshoots. Maybe there will be a Pegasus Turbo successor in the future. I recommend the Pegasus 39 to runners with a neutral heel-heavy running style who are looking for a solid daily trainer. Also for forefoot and midfoot runners who prefer very direct and not too soft cushioning. A good choice for quiet and relaxed runs of any distance, although a few interval units are also easy to master. Read Alex Park's expert report- https://shop4runners.com/blog/post/pegasus-39-im-test
