My feet sweat, but no more than expected on hot days. Paired with thick merino wool or thin performance socks, the shoes felt comfortable and airy. During testing, I ran in everything from 50 degrees up to a sizzling 79, and never once felt the shoes were too hot. An engineered mesh upper is more breathable, with perforations you can see, starting in the toe and wrapping around the entire foot. The most significant changes are aesthetic-related. The Cushlon foam is the same as what you find in the 34s. And the airbag is the same shape as the elusive Nike 4%. The midsole has a Zoom bag throughout the entire shoe, unlike past models which only had a zoom bag in the heel or toe, or separate bags in each. The outsole is springy, yet stiff enough to keep your heel to toe energy transfer effortless. On the 35s, the pentagonal shapes stretch and shrink from heel to toe, providing more flexibility in the outsole. One complaint about the 34s was how rigid the outsole was, especially under the toe. On the 34s, the lugs are pentagonal, and roughly the same size from toe to heel, varying a little the closer they get to either edge. The waffle outsole on the 35 is the same as the 34, just with a change in shape. He walked me through all the changes to the Pegasus from bottom to top. Review: The night I picked up the sneakers, I had the chance to chat with Chris Nuelle, an EKIN for Nike (a group of Nike employees tasked with brand storytelling and marketing), who has been running for Nike for two years. The New Balance 880V7 ( $115) and the Saucony Ride 10 ( $72), also have similar neutral cushioning. Other similar running sneakers include the Asics Cumulus 19 ( $120), Brooks Ghost 9 ( $78) and Mizuno Wave Rider 20 ( $90). But once I hit those 11 miles, I felt like I could run forever.Īlternatives: There are a lot of differences between the Nike Air Pegasus 34s ( $65) and the 35s, so be sure to test them out in stores before settling with the former model. I played around with the fit quite a bit, testing out different ways of tieing the laces to adjust to just four toe eyelets as opposed to five. While I didn’t experience these issues, it did take me roughly 11 miles to feel like my feet adapted to the sneakers. The toe box is also decidedly more narrow as compared to the 34, which some testers have complained about. It can cause some rubbing in the beginning. Watch Out For: The extended heel collar, created to help ease pressure on your Achilles tendon (you can thank Mo Farah for that design), might take a while to get used to. I took the 35 for runs on trails, dirt roads and pavement, but enjoyed the shoes most on the back roads of upstate Vermont. While the Nike Epic React works for a particular type of runner (someone who has a stable arch, needs zero structure and doesn’t pronate or supinate), the Pegasus 35 is more ubiquitous. Who They’re For: Everyone from 5k racers to marathoners can appreciate the neutral shoe. Thanks to input from Mo Farah, the 2012 gold medalist in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, the heel collar is higher, which makes for a faster-looking shoe.
#NIKE ZOOM SHOES NEW MODEL 2018 UPDATE#
An update to the airbags underfoot provide a thin, yet firm layer of cushioning that stretches from heel to toe. The mesh is more breathable, looks fresh and feels great.
The Good: Thanks to cutouts in the outsole, the Pegasus 35 is. We took them for a spin to see how they compare to the Pegasus 34s. It’s snappier than previous iterations, fast on foot and durable enough for a 10-miler. The Zoom Pegasus 35 is a revamp starting with the outsole all the way up to the tongue. Per Nike’s history, each franchise gets a facelift every year, and every two years, there’s a total overhaul. 2018 marks the 35th year of the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus, so what better time to launch a new version of the popular running shoe.
