Fundamentally the best experience you can have in a hardwearing daily trainer is that it almost goes unnoticed as you clock up the mileage. But that is by no means a bad thing when it comes to a workhorse shoe. Running in the Pegasus 38 – like its predecessor – is a largely uneventful experience. As well as being fairly thick, it's also impressively tough, which means it'll keep the midsole safe for longer.įinally, the laces incorporate a widened loops across each side which help to give a more locked-down and modifiable fit.
On the outsole is a generous helping of rubber that covers the bulk of the React midsole material. There's also the addition of a Zoom Air unit that sits in the forefoot of the shoe, a feature designed to increase the overall bounce of the shoe, especially when it comes to the toe-off. The result is a shoe designed for versatility, which is what you want when it comes to a good value workhorse. It's a material that's largely popular due to its durability, as well as the fact it offers a good balance between cushioning and responsiveness. Like many of Nike's more expensive offerings, the 38 uses React foam throughout the full length of the shoe. The main modifications made are to the upper – adding a slightly wider toebox as well as more comfort and breathability –and a larger Air Zoom pod section.įor us, the most important technology in the Pegasus 38 is the midsole foam.
