Nike Damen Laufschuhe W PEGASUS PREMIUM

At first glance, I thought the Pegasus Premium would be a firm shoe, but I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was. I really enjoyed the amount of springiness underfoot, and I found that this shoe had the perfect amount of cushioning for me.

I immediately liked the Pegasus Premium and appreciated it more the longer I had it. From the cool style to the comfortable underfoot feel, I think most people who get this shoe on their feet will enjoy it. Before testing, I wasn't sure if the Air Zoom unit would be gimmicky and more just for looks (I do love the Nike racing shoes with this feature). However, it created a springy underfoot feel that I noticed whether I was running fast or just walking. Where the shoe really shined for me was on long runs with some faster paces mixed in mid-run. I found it had plenty of cushioning for my long runs of 7 to 10 miles. I would probably choose something else for track workouts and my fastest efforts. Also, the price is a consideration. $210 is a lot for a trainer, and I don't think I'd personally spend that. However, it is a fun, versatile shoe and I will continue to wear it after testing.

The Nike Pegasus Premium is a short-distance trainer that offers a surprisingly springy and enjoyable ride. However, its substantial weight of 325 grams deviates from the expected feel of a super trainer, and leans more towards the comfort and style of a lifestyle sneaker. It’s too heavy for uptempo runs and too unstable for long runs; this makes it a very niche offering and a questionable investment for serious runners considering its high price.

If the Pegasus is a Volkswagen, the Pegasus Premium is an Audi
