Nike Air Pegasus ALL NEW MODELS 30, 31, 32 and up

[DeletedCSaccount]

I tried these on at a store just for casual use purposes... very bouncy and responsive in a fun way, and the shoes look dope. The biggest issue is the instability, especially anywhere between the heel and the midfoot. If anyone had/tried on the ZoomX Streakfly and the Zoom All Outs, them ****s were unstable (especially the Streakflys). Put those two together and that's what you get: instability on crack. I guess the ReactX foam on the bottom helps a little bit, but still.

I'm gonna be extremely critical here... I feel like this shoe screams "John Donahoe era," especially since it was made during the John Donahoe era: desperate combo of tech just for the **** of it to compete with the big dogs and get some attention back. They got the attention part down though.

With that said... I'd still cop just for the looks and take the comfort as the bonus and the instability as a caveat.

Given the late renaming of the Pegasus Plus, and that the Premium was shown of at the start of last year, seems to me that this was suppose to be the 2024 Olympic tech shoe, like the Zoom All Out was for 2016.

The three x three lines (Peg, Vomero, Struture x Number,Plus,Premium) felt like a very quick to announce that I haven't seen Nike ever do before, and was something done as John Donahoe was being told "you're going this year"

I have a feeling that the premium and plus line of the Pegasus will be massively different for their versions 2.

Is this the start of the turnaround to the decline post 2020???? (also the time I and a lot of people in the UK who I regarded as top talent left) But I am happy I sold my employee shares in late 2021 when they were going for $170+ I got a stupid 200% return.

Since the SB2s and Glycerin Maxes have been brought up, I'm curious to know how the Premos compare to the Invincible 3s as well.

And along the lines of the NB SC Elite v4s, which I have yet to try… I’m still running in (and still ENJOYING) the RC Elite v2s! I have a few SC Elite v3s, but I find myself grabbing the V2s a lot more. They’re my all-time favorite performance NB with their versatility.

I use them for a variety of runs/paces. They shine in them all for me. I eeem use them as my travel shoes and casual when I’m lazy lol

What you got cooking up on these premiums bruh??? Get a little sneak peek can we ? . Can’t wait to see what you do with them

The V4 is a vast improvement imo IF the upper and your foot agree.

The nike invincible is a hate it or love it shoe, and I love it (though I’ve only had the 1). Imo, no similarities to the peg premiums. Very different ride

Nike made their big pivot about a year ago? It’ll take until next year to see what that all really looks like, but yes. Looks like this was a quick scramble and rebrand to cause some type of attention

Just running in them, bruh! If I do like them, I’ll think of some experiments if that’s what you mean LOL

I’d be curious to know your take on the NB SC Elite v4 once you try. I was a huge fan of the NB SC Trainer V2, but the V3 felt very different unlike a successor and I was not a fan. I was thinking the Elite V4 would be better, but also skeptical since the V3 Trainer left me disappointed.

i know you didnt ask me but SC Elite V4 is great and i think its mostly with NB finally integrating a pebax foam in the midsole

its on the heavier side in comparison to the other race day shoes (its about 1.5 oz heavier than the AF3) but it didnt really feel like it in the couple of 5k runs ive done with the SCEV4, might become a little more bothersome in longer runs and your legs may feel more tired but its a great shoe nonetheless

All feedback is great and appreciated. Not trying to derail the thread either, I just saw it mentioned.

lol Nike really needs a legit push. Again, the vapor fly and zoom x is almost a decade old

Premo First Impressions

Sizing: TTS (my feet are on the narrow side). These are narrow esp towards the forefoot. They’re the polar opposite of the UltraFly lol

Aesthetics: This is a realllllly GOOD LOOKING sneaker. I love the reflective strip that goes along the upper. It has that aesthetic that’s primed for casual wear, IMHO.

Feel: On the initial try-on and walking around, they reminded me of a certain Nike trainer. However, I couldn’t quite put my finger toe on it LOL. Then it came to me, they felt just like the ZOOMX Tempo Next% but with plush materials! The upper feels like a more robust Flyknit Racer with its knit at the toe with greater reinforcement panels and plush tongue, which I’m a fan of.

Ride: You can definitely feel all the cushioning systems working together just like those, which are also constructed with the same/similar tech, sans the plate and older React. I didn’t find the ride mind-blowing or that special, TBH. There is that propulsive feeling from the sculpted Zoom Air bag. Otherwise, I wasn’t impressed.

There are UNstable, so if you need that extra support, these won’t be it for you. These are also tanks compared to what I usually choose to run in. I think, in the long run, the fatigue will only build faster. However, I do plan to take them out on a long run this weekend to really assess that.

I went on a 4-miler during lunch in a small variety of paces. I did feel discomfort, which I rarely experience towards my big toe in the forefoot area. But I felt like I could still continue with the run with minimal issues. It could handle the paces that I was running at, but I felt their sweet spot would be at the slower paces/easy paces.





Just off this first run, they’re what I expected them to be… a casual sneaker that can be run in… if you don’t care too much about pacing or time. With that said, if you want these for performance, I’d look at other brands. I do not see any benefit if you're trying to improve your running performance in these. You can spend less than $210 for far better running sneakers options out there. I wouldn’t even consider grabbing the Premos over any shoe that I have in my current rotation.

However, if you want them for casual wear and have the extra funds, do it! For me, I’m personally waiting on the White/Black cw for casual wear purposes ONLY.

If you're considering purchasing the Premos, it really depends on what your intention is with them. If you want to use them as a trainer/performance, DEFINITELY look elsewhere. However, if you want to wear the latest Nike tech in the form of a casual sneaker and don’t mind spending $210, do it!

Solid review and agreed. I will give it up to Nike with their uppers. They still make the best in the game.

I’m really excited for the black Pegasus Premium’s in black!

2nd run in the Premos for a 10K:





They did feel better on this run eem with some of the wet stretches on the road I ran on. They handled the wet surfaces with no slippage. The big toe discomfort was no longer felt. They just needed to be broken in. When I went uphill, I started to push the pace more, and I did like the responsiveness of the sculpted Zoom Air bag.

They got complimented when I was wearing them running errands lol. With that said, my opinion of them still hasn’t changed. They’re pretty much a casual sneaker that you can run in… if you don’t care too much about pace/time.

I’m in on those Kigers.

 

[sssstan]

seen stuff online about zoomx chipping away from their invincibles/VF/AF and never experienced it myself but just noticed i had a bit chipped on my premiums. just a test run and majority casual wear so but surprised.

not too bummed since their beaters and didn’t pay the $210 on them but would’ve hoped for better durability

Never seen this before.. and I have 3 pair .. what did you too them?

Another run in them for a 5-miler

​

Terrain was a hybrid pavement/dirt trail. The slight big toe discomfort from the first run never resurfaced. My opinion of them remains the same. For my running/performance, I see no benefit in having a full zoom air bag since my footstrike is primarily in the mid to forefoot. The Zoom Air portion at the heel is unnecessary for me. It’s just extra weight that drags.

From a casual perspective, the full sculpted Zoom Air unit does feel comfy, and it does LOOK dope. It serves a better purpose for walking than running.

I don’t see where they fit in my current rotation. Planning one or two more runs before my final thoughts. However, to me, as of RN, they certainly are NOT worth their MSRP.
