Original Mens Nike Air Pegasus +30 599205-070 - UK 9 (SA 9)

Runner's World Review

For 30 years running, the Pegasus has delivered a soft, cushioned ride at a good value. "A tried-and-true classic," says Helen Dole, a competitive age-group runner from New York City. "It offers a cushioned-ride and is comfortable from day one." Of course, the shoe has grown along with the times—it was a whopping 12.9 ounces as recently as 2006. Today, the Pegasus is back to a simplified, cushioned shoe. We saw this shaping up last year, and grew to love the shoe more as we ran in it. So we were thrilled to see that the midsole and outsole were left untouched. So, too, was the price. For $100, there are few, if any, better shoes on shelves. The upper, however, got a re-do, with Nike swapping out the one-piece engineered mesh for three distinct panels. Underneath the midfoot mesh, a reflective saddle wraps around your foot, holding you in place and keeping you visible in the dark.
BOTTOM LINE: Excellent for long distances and recovery runs.
