6/6/2023 0 Comments Nike zoom it![]() ![]() ![]() Winner: Pegasus 39 - I really liked the Flywire technology, and the lacing system on the Pegasus 39, which allowed me to pull the shoe tight around my mid-foot for a really locked-in feel on the run. Sure, you’d probably notice the subtle differences if you had a Peg 39 on your left foot and a Peg 40 on your right, but once you start running, the two shoes feel pretty similar. There’s also a decent amount of padding around the tongue and the collar of the shoe to alleviate any rubbing or hotspots. The shoe now has a single-layer mesh upper, but it’s nowhere near as restrictive as the bootie upper found on the Nike Infinity Run 3. On the foot, it has a little more give than the previous version. Nike says they have reworked the internal linings and padding of the upper in the Pegasus 40 to make it more breathable. I found these to be really comfortable and allowed a good amount of lockdown around the mid-foot. ![]() On the Pegasus 39, the laces connected through the “Flywire technology” loops, that wrapped around the foot to keep it in place. Unlike the Pegasus 39, Nike has returned to a more traditional lacing system with the newer shoe. I wore a UK 5/US 7 in both versions of the shoe. I had no issues with the fit of the Pegasus 39, which I found much better than the Pegasus 37 and Pegasus 38, and found the Pegasus 40 to fit very similarly. Both shoes have the React midsole foam, which is cushioned and responsive, but nowhere near as soft as the ZoomX foam used in the Nike Invincible Run 3. Like the Pegasus 39, the Pegaus 40 has two Zoom Air units, (Nike’s name for it’s pockets of air, designed to give the shoe a more responsive feel) - one under the ball of the foot, and one in the heel. The Pegasus 38 made some tweaks to the fit of the shoe, responding to user feedback that it was too narrow, and the Pegasus 39 saw Nike add a second Zoom Air unit to the heel of the shoe. Nike made some big changes to the design of the shoe with the Nike Pegasus 37, when Nike added React foam to the shoe for the first time. Nike Pegasus 39 vs Nike Pegasus 40: Design and fitīoth shoes are pretty similar in terms of the design. Winner: Nike Pegasus 39 - as you’ll come to discover when reading this article, not an awful lot has changed between the Pegasus 39 and the Pegasus 40, so if you’re on a budget, save your money and buy the older shoe. ![]()
