The latest of the latest from Nike Running comes to enlarge even more the legend of such a legendary saga as the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus, and is that the entry on the scene of the innovative and new Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo confirm the commitment by the Oregon brand to continue evolving its most iconic Running shoes.
Thus, these new Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo inherit all the best of the successful Pegasus line, but with the added bonus of incorporating Nike s most cutting-edge technologies in sports footwear. So, these Pegasus Turbo are the most powerful and fastest to date, and have in their ideology to be the ideal model for all runners who want to wear a running shoe made to run faster, but without detracting from comfort.
When it comes to analyzing the strong points of these Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo, its hallmarks are summarized in three fundamental sections, and which are capable of providing the runner with superior comfort at all levels:
Maximum energy return: Incorporation of the ultralight and reactive Nike Zoom X foam.
Snug and secure fit: Seamless Flymesh upper with signature Flywire cables.
Increased traction: Mounting a durable rubber outsole that adapts to a multitude of surfaces.
Aesthetically, the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is a faithful reflection of the updated design of the attractive and aerodynamic Nike Pegasus 35, but Nike Running has also looked at other features of premium models in its powerful catalog of Running shoes for running on asphalt. That is, the Pegasus Turbo incorporates the latest generation Zoom X material, which has already been used in flying shoes like the Nike Zoom VaporFly 4%.
The result of the inclusion of Zoom X foam is that the Nike Pegasus Turbo offers runners much lighter cushioning, while at the same time considerably increasing the energy return in each stride, which will allow them to run faster.
Nike s "best kept secret" to achieve this high level of reactivity from the Zoom X foam is that it is placed directly underfoot, so the energy return starts to be felt from the first stride you take. The key is also that Nike Running has tested the benefits of this innovative cushioning material by working with top marathon fila in Kenya.
Design details are something Nike Running knows how to take care of perfectly, and the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is no exception in this regard, and it clearly shows. As with the Nike Pegasus 35, these Pegasus Turbo have also resorted to including the unique beveled heel. Thanks to this feature, the shoe allows the runner to enjoy a smoother transition from the heel to the toe area of the model.
Another detail to take into account in these Nike Pegasus Turbo is that the ankle area is now slightly narrower, and is farther away from the Achilles tendon. This way, the shoe provides a higher degree of comfort for long runs and long distance runs.
The upper of these Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is made with Flymesh fabric, which, in addition to providing great lightness, wraps both the bridge of the foot and the midfoot. This results in a snugger and more secure fit, reinforcing that feeling of lightness and comfort.
The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo also features the characteristic Flywire cables of the American manufacturer, which stand out for their great resistance, and when combined with the laces, they reinforce the adjustable support in the medial area of the model.
The grofe-type design of the outsole, while providing great resistance, is capable of offering optimal grip on various surfaces. In addition, on this occasion, it has also been decided to include several sections of higher rubber on the lower part to improve traction.
Regarding the technical specifications, the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo have a 10-millimeterdrop and weights of 238 grams in the men's model and 195 grams in the women's version. All in all, it can be said that the launch of the Nike Zoom Pegasus confirms the desire of Nike Running designers to evolve one of their reference models, and thus offer the runner a regular training shoe, optimized for long distance, with which he/she can run even faster, and more reactively, to beat personal bests.
