Consisting of a full-length Zoom Air unit combined with Nike’s traditional Cushlon foam, the midsole feels buoyant. Nike revamped the neutral Pegasus midsole construction in the 35, and retained that design in the 36. I found the length and width true to size. A tapered, beveled heel doesn’t compromise width or comfort. With a slim last, the Pegasus feels neither too narrow nor tight, even as the arch sits high (and soft) underfoot. As it turns out, I keep turning to the 36 I’m always happy to put them on. Compared to the previous Pegasus 35, which I found to be a versatile everyday trainer, the 36 felt lighter and sleeker.

Out of the box, the Peg 36 proffered comfort, with a welcoming step-in and seamless feel.

It’s no ultra-light, pricey racer like ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%, either.īut among Nike’s shiny, fast styles, the Pegasus 36 is an affordable, thoughtful evolution of a long-running model that’s proven to be dependable and, most importantly, comfortable-perhaps peaking, like many long-distance runners, after a few decades. Don’t confuse it with the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2, a spendier option with more responsive (read, bouncy) foam designed for speed, or the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Trail 36, a hybrid designed for off- and on-road running. The latest model in a long line of reliable training shoes, the Nike Pegasus 36 has quickly become my go-to shoe. Our review: Upholding the Nike Pegasus legacy of neutral shoes that blend cushioning and responsiveness, the 36th Pegasus provides a smooth, familiar, luxurious ride that keeps you reaching for them day after day.
