I think this falls under the design philosophy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, just tweak it a little and see if it sells”. I’m honestly surprised how strong Nike is sticking to their general layout of pods/squares along the medial side of the sole in two patches, and a stripped ‘crash pad’ along the lateral side of the sole. I think the best way to identify the Nike Pegasus line of shoes is by looking at the outsole. I kept these shoes in my running rotation until they had 50 miles and came back here to let you guys know what I found out. It still had the familiar outsole design and upper silhouette, but a welcomed sleeker upper and embedded Flywire. The Pegasus line of shoes pretty much was my shoe of choice before I started testing pairs for this site, so it was a little rush of nostalgia putting on the Pegasus 34s. I ran that old pair more than 2,000 miles into the ground before retiring them to my personal hall of fame. The last time I laced up in Nike Peagsues shoes was around 6 years ago in the Nike Pegasus 29s. The biggest changes from the predecessor are more numerous holes on the mesh toebox, slightly more hidden flywire on the sides, and a smoother external heel counter wrap. The midsole appears to be nearly identical to the predecessor, along with the general layout of the upper. The previous version of these shoes weighed a splash more (10.8 oz vs 10.4 oz), so you’ll see a tiny speed boost if upgrading from the 33s. The shoe just is there to give you the tried and tested tech that Nike has to offer right now. It doesn’t feature all the cutting edge tech found in more expensive Nike shoes like the LunarEpic Flyknits, or the absurd ground breaking designs of the Zoom VaporFly Elites. This line of shoes came from the idea that there should be an affordable shoe for runners that remains durable and comfortable and have quality components. It’s rare to see a line of shoes that goes back this far in time, which means that Nike found something that hits a sweet spot with runners.

That would be an election race I’d love to watch. If the Nike Pegasus line of shoes was a person, it would almost be old enough to run for US presidency (34 years old, one year short of 35).
