QD: Peg 35 was my first and most recent is the 39. Great daily shoe. The 40 gained a lot of weight tho so I may skip that one
Still rocking the 37, it’s been like 3 years, 500 km later and they still feel great
3:48 'They added a flex groove in the outsole' But the midsole and outsole are exactly the same as the Pegasus 39? So that' s nothing new, is it?
I started with the Pegasus 36 because of this channel. Fell in love with the 36. Recently picked up the 39 and still love the shoe.
Pegasus 26. First
Nike 1977. Blue and yellow. Favorite Pegasus so far was 35. Still wear them just for walking.
:QD: My first Pegasus was somewhere in the late 1990s (unsure which version, but was probably around 15). It was one of the first shoes I owned when starting to run more seriously. I don't buy Nike products anymore due to issues I have with the company, how they treat their athletes (e.g. Kara Goucher), and a few other reasons.
The best thing about Peg 40 is the price drop of Peg 39 🙂 Peg 40 is definitely a step back with the increasing weight. This is a good time to buy another pair of Peg 39.
I see the Swoosh, and I think: cheating, doping, abuse, denial, and complete lack of accountability on Nike's part. They are nowhere near cleaning up that image. F*** Nike.
QD: I tried the peg 36 or 37 a few years ago. Just didn’t work for me and was causing me pain in my feet. Sadly I had to return the shoe and went back to the drawing board and that’s when I stumbled upon my first pair of edorphin speeds by Saucony.
QD: Been running since 2011, and I have never bought a Pegasus 😐. Not sure why, but everytime there's always another daily trainer from other brands that are more interesting for me.
My first Pegasus was the 1992 Team USA colorway… not the re-release, the original from 1992. I wore it for my Sophomore HS Track season. The most recent Pegasus I ran in was the 39. I’ve tried the 40 on for a moment and I liked it as well. Probably the most versatile training shoes out there.
:qod: My first Peg was 33. I also had the 34 and 36 Trail. I still run in the Turbo 2.
this would be a very different review if it wasn't nike sponsored
Nike is still holding back in their daily trainers, reserving their best tech for their premium models. I can't justify buying a running shoe that is using inferior midsole foam that is heavier and has limited energy return. At least Asics and New Balance puts good foam in their Novablast and Rebel daily trainers.
I’ve ran in the Pegasus 37 and 38. Currently I’m running in the Pegasus 39 ❤I’ve probably logged in over 1500 miles in this shoes, no jock, and I’m still wearing them 😂
Have had several pegs and the turbo. Last one was the 38. After 5 runs in it, decided to make it a casual/travel shoe. Life's too short for running on cheap quality midsole 😊. Fortunately, i switched to Saucony (based on one of seth's reviews) and not looked back since. But, shoe choice is always personal to the individual
First and most recent Pegasus, the 40. Bought a pair today. Really impressed with the upper!
My first was the peg 36 and my last was 38
QOD: Pegasus 36 I won many races including cross country and track and drops
In it dreary shoe and later I got the 37 and it was great a little heavier but softer loves it for daily and the 35 for speed work even races!!!
Good job at videos really enjoying them 👍😃🏃♂️
My first Pegasus was the 29. What an amazing shoe that was. The bounce and comfortable energy return that the shoe gave was the best of the Pegasus line. (IMHO)
First Pegasus was the 36 GORE-TEX edition. Wore them into the ground, was my stock room and gym shoe before I picked up running, by which time the Zoom unit on them had fully gone. Sadly I only realised this after the fact and continued to clock in the KMs by running on what was just the protective EVA foam at that point. Recently picked up the Peg 37 Pride edition off eBay for a steal and been rinsing 10Ks in them, can really feel the springy Zoom unit in the forefoot this time aha. Might pick up the Peg 40s in the future if the reviews are looking positive!
The Pegasus 36 is the shoe that started my running journey, my first ever running shoes! Also, thanks to your channel! I still remember your first impression on the 36 and how excited you were running in them! I skipped the 37, 38 and 39 and moved straight to the Pegasus Turbo Next Nature as a daily trainer. Maybe I’ll give the 40 a shot this time? The 36 is still such a memorable shoe to me! 🙌🏼
QD: First Pegasus: 36. Lastest Pegasus: 39. Planning to buy the 40 but they said it’s a same feels like the 39.
I couldn’t stand the 39s. They just felt so stiff and firm under foot. I do remember wearing the Peg 4 & 5 for the 2 years I ran cross country
"Do one thing every day that scares you." *Motivation
I got the 37s which In enjoyed very much, even I got a PB with them in my last marathon race. I was thinking to get the 38 back then but I tempted to get the 39s now that I saw some on discount. Seems the react even more squishy now, nice!
I’m usually not a fan of white running shoes but that is a dope color way, especially with the sunlight going through them and illuminating the yellow and orange.
I really want to love it, but the Pegasus should be better. Price is good but the Zoom unit is unnecessary and it's too bulky overall compared to others in the same class.
QD: ran my lifetime HM PB in the peg 83…last peg was the 35 but looking at the 40 for my next daily trainer
These seem like a hard sell over the 39 since they are on sale for as low as $71.97 direct from Nike!
My first pair of pegasus was the 36 and was one of the best running shoes at the time. I noticed that the more miles on the pair the more comfortable it feels for me. Skipped the 37 and 38 and got the 39 for the memories. Same feel but an improved running shoe. Starting to feel more comfortable already.
While the Vomero 1 was my first true serious running shoe, the Peg 28 was my first Peg and the one I used to step up to distance running. It was so incredibly comfortable, I wore it every day (before I realized the value of having a rotation :)). Unfortunately none of the recent Pegs have compared, aside from the original Turbo—my all-time-favorite Nike runner—so I’ve moved on to other trainers. Seeing this video though makes me want to give it a shot again, so thanks Seth!
Seth, I have an affiliation with the pegs too. It was my introduction to Seth James DeMoor 😊. I was looking for a new shoe and a friend said to me, "have you looked on YouTube?" I looked up Pegasus 35 and up you came. I have been following ever since 👌🏃
My First Pegasus was the original back in the early 1980's and have used many iterations since then. I am running in Peg 39's at the moment and a pair of Peg Trail 36 as well.
Paid promotion
First was 32. Than 34. Than 37. Plus the trail versions.

“Beholden to no one,” except Nike. Considering how much of your channel is shoe reviews, this was a bold move! Keep holding them accountable!
