Based on the immediate success of the Vaporfly 4% (the commercially available version of Nike’s “Breaking 2” racing shoe), it was only a matter of time before we saw its Zoom
X foam rolled into other shoes. First up: the Pegasus 35 Turbo.

Runners are no stranger to the name Pegasus; that workhorse shoe is on its 35th iteration. For decades, the Peg has been a do-it-all mã sản phẩm that can handle high mileage as well as it can upticks in speed. But, that daily trainer is a bit too heavy & a little too soft to really be used for any kind of speedwork. This all-new “Peg Turbo” is designed lớn keep that legendary fit and feeling, but delivers the lightweight sensation of a racing flat.
To bởi so, Nike gave it the aforementioned lightweight foam, which is exceptionally springy. In the Runner’s World Shoe Lab, we found its energy return to be on par with shoes using Adidas’s Boost midsole. That’s going to deliver you a bouncy, fast sensation underfoot, even though Zoom
X is much lighter than Boost.

“This shoe is fast—like Reebok Float
Ride Run Fast kind of fast,” gushed one tester. “Much like that shoe, I found myself running 30 to lớn 45 seconds faster per mile on a training run without even realizing it.”
But, the Peg Turbo isn’t just fast. It’s also exceptionally soft, especially in the heel. So you’re assured a protective, well-cushioned ride over long runs but will still have bounce to your step so you can motor along more quickly when the mood strikes.
“One of the best shoes with special cushioning that I’ve run in,” said another tester. “You really bởi feel that extra bounce in your step, and it makes you want to lớn go a little faster.”
The Magic of the Midsole
The key lớn the Peg Turbo, as noted earlier, is the lightweight foam in the midsole. Lightweight foams are nothing new, of course. But typically, feathery EVA midsoles compress easily và are slow to lớn recover their shape. Zoom
X, by comparison, is still highly compressible under your weight (giving you the soft landing), but it rebounds quickly lớn propel you forward.
The foam is made from Pebax, which is more typically used for plastic bridges and other molded parts in shoes. For example, Mizuno has used it in a Wave plate. Pebax has a lower density than some thermoplastic alternatives (thus, it’s lighter), but is also flexible, resists impact, & returns energy. Those properties remain when it’s blown into a foam.
When Can I Buy It?
The Zoom Pegasus 35 Turbo will be available July 19 for Nike
Plus members via the Nike and NRC apps. Otherwise, you’ll have khổng lồ wait until August 2 to score a pair on nike.com và at select retailers.

The Zoom Pegasus Turbo is a daily trainer for more advanced runner"s looking for a soft cushioned feeling and to get their hands on the coveted Zoom
X foam. Despite the foams popularity from other racing shoes, the Pegasus Turbo is meant more for training than for racing.
Inspired by the Vaporfly Elite và 4%, combined with the daily go-to staple Pegasus và using newly released foam, Nike has created the next big exciting shoe release, the Zoom Pegasus Turbo.
Using Zoom
X, found in the aforementioned 4%, & React foams, the Pegasus Turbo is the answer to lớn the year long question of where is the daily trainer to compliment the new line of racing shoes debuted in 2017.
Zoom
X foam, which is lighter and provides more energy return than other Nike offerings, can only be found in the Vaporfly Elite, Vaporfly 4%, and now the Pegasus Turbo.
The Elites và 4% shoes differ from the Pegasus Turbo in two major ways. The first being the plate that sits in the midsole of the Elite and 4% shoes that pop the runner’s foot forward for an aggressive toe off.
The second is intended use of the shoe. The Vaporfly Elite & 4% are the premier marathon racing shoes; the Pegasus Turbo is meant for daily training.
To indicate the inspiration of the fast aspect of the Turbo; Nike has included a thick racing stripe down the center và also named the shoe Turbo.
From an inspiration standpoint this new offering is clearly inspired by the namesake Pegasus.
The Air Zoom Pegasus, now in it’s 35th iteration is an annual release daily trainer by Nike that is suitable for every type of run và beloved by beginners và advanced runners alike.
The silhouette of the Pegasus Turbo matches that of the Pegasus 35s with the similar appearance, curved heel cuff, và general shell of a shoe.
Minor changes lớn the upper material và an updated outsole all change from the Pegasus 35 to lớn the Turbo. The main selling point of the Turbo is what is under the hood.
The availability of the Zoom
X foam in the Pegasus Turbo is what runners will flock to as the Vaporfly Elite has only hit the market once, when it was priced at 600 dollars; & the Vaporfly 4% is released in different colorways in limited quantities sparingly.

The anticipation of the Pegasus Turbo created a hype around a very promising shoe. Nike over the past few years has released some great running shoes. The Vaporfly 4% actually changed the paradigm behind what is the ideal marathon racer.
The Epic React và Zoom Fly have been generally well received. Và the Pegasus annually is a solid; cannot go wrong purchase. Unfortunately, the Pegasus Turbo falls short of these other Nike options.
To be clear, the Pegasus Turbo is not a bad shoe; I will probably get a lot of use out of my pair.
Most of those miles will be for recovery, some long runs here and there, but this is not a shoe worth buying at the price point it is being sold.
Most runner’s would be better off buying the Pegasus 35 over the Pegasus Turbo for daily training considering the price difference.
If you prefer a soft bouncy ride; form size up và try, but be aware of the issues with this shoe when you purchase. There are two issues with the Pegasus Turbo that hold the trainer back from being the shoe everyone wishes it was.
The first is that while Nike always strives lớn make an aesthetically pleasing shoe;the Pegasus Turbo it seems as if the function took a backseat lớn the fashion. More on the aesthetics after the second, more minor issue.
The second issue is that the Pegasus Turbo is marketed as this fast option with the Vaporfly 4% foam prominent; however when diving deeper into Nike’s provided information it is clear that the shoe is intended lớn be a softer, non-racing option.
The confusion as khổng lồ what the shoe is versus how it is marketed will let many runners down.
On Nike’s website & their breakdown of the Zoom series shoes. The uses are as follows:
Pegasus Turbo: Daily runs, tempo runs, intervals, long runsA $180 running shoe; built in the silhouette of an incredibly popular option with the latest và greatest cushioning should be a go to lớn option;
However on the foot it just feels like a softer version of the Pegasus, a daily trainer that is $60 cheaper.
Every runner wants a functional shoe that works for them. & if that shoe looks great; even better. Some runner’s buy for looks, most buy for that function, and while the fashion of a shoe may sway the decision between two shoes;
I have a hard time believing that any functionality should be effected by the fashionable decision in the thiết kế process of a running shoe.
The heel fin creates an area in the sole that could cause the shoe to lớn physically break và the foams lớn separate. Having the heel fin does not địa chỉ any value in terms of the functionality of the shoe.
Three things occur by having it; the shoe looks fast & cool, there is added foam (thus weight – albeit very little), & there is a point in which the shoe can be easily damaged.
Another issue that hinders the Pegasus Turbo’s functionality is the racing stripe. Don’t get me wrong the racing stripe looks great. It looks fast & sleek & is unlike any other shoe on the market.
However the racing stripe is made of a thicker material fused onto the upper, shallowing the toe box and limiting the stretch và comfort of the upper.
The giant swoosh on the side of the Pegasus Turbo is printed on the mesh directly & has no problem stretching out with the foot.
Though it may have looked “cheaper,” the racing stripe would be much better off printed on as to lớn not affect the upper in any way. I am recommending that if you buy this shoe; you buy it a half form size up.
This is not because of the last the shoe is made on; or a natural shallow toe box; but instead because of the racing stripe. This racing stripe puts the look of the Pegasus Turbo ahead of the performance and comfort of the shoe.
It seemed so simple. Tweak an amazing shoe by adding the best foam Nike has lớn offer. Unfortunately it seems as if the Pegasus Turbo was overworked và designed.
Had the heel fin been less pronounced similar to the standard Pegasus, & the racing stripe printed on the mesh to lớn allow for comfort, this nhận xét would read more about how it’s not everything we expected but it’s still a great soft option.
There is a good running shoe hiding somewhere in the Pegasus Turbo. Instead, Nike has created a daily trainer with questionable design choices.
Some people might be able to lớn look past these oddities; however at this price point most would be best off looking elsewhere.
We purchased a pair of Nike Zoom Pegasus 35 Turbo from runningwarehouse using our own money. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them.
