- UPDATE: Read our full multi tester review here:
www.roadtrailrun.com/2020/05/...
I take the Zoom Pegasus 37 ($120) out for a first approx.10 mile /16km run in Park City, UT and share first run impressions. The 37th edition of the Pegasus sees the most significant changes in years with a new React foam midsole and a front only 10mm thick Zoom Air bag, the prior edition having a full length 4mm thick Zoom Air unit.
The articulated Zoom Air unit is tuned based on gender preferences with 20 psi for the men's and 15 psi for the women as testing showed women preferred a slightly softer, more flexible front cushion.
Overall the Pegasus gains 2mm of stack height with its weight going from 8.9 oz / 252 g to 9.73 oz /276g for a men's US9 (confirmed by size 9 sample).
Full multi tester review soon!
Correction: Joan Benoit Samuelson wore a Peg at the 2008 Olympic Trials and not at the 1984 Trials.
The tested sample was provided at no charge.

1:37 perfect symmetry ... great review, look forward to testing and reviewing these myself
What a beautiful landscape you're running at! Great review too!
Great visuals. Thanks for the review.
Thanks!
Great review as always Sam 👍
Thanks Danny!
I personally think the 35s will always have a place in my heart. The upper was just superior to anything I had ever worn and the midsole was super springy even after over 300 miles
Very narrow toe box and around the upper foot
Thank you great review !
My pleasure!
Sam, what’d ya do when your filming the shoe on a post? Stand there on one leg? 😂 Thanks for the review!
Thanks!
Haha no stand in my sock in the dirt, mud, snow or tar!
@@RoadTrailRun I can't stop looking at the mountains in the background. Colorado?
Great Review 👍
Thanks! 👍
Sam, in 1984 in both the trials marathon and L.A. Joanie wore a Nike racing shoe called the Axis. It was straight lasted and, I think, had an air bag in the heel. I think the exact pair she wore was a special make up for her, as it had a heel clip very similar to what the Current React Miler has. The retail version of the Axis didn't have the clip.
Your’re right it was 2008 Olympic Trials
Great video..
Thumbs up for videoing this shoe standing on one foot in the dirt.
Thanks Ryan! Did it a bunch this winter in snow and slush for other shoes. Do draw the line at mud though!
Thanks for the review Sam. Do you know if/when the 37 trail will be released?
Expect so and fairly soon but no official word.
Great review! I hope you (or anyone else) can answer on how this shoe compare against the Pegasus 36 Trial (Goretex). Thanks!
We will compare to Peg 36 Trail in full written review although we never tested the GTX version. The Trail will have more traction for sure although the Peg 37's traction on moderate trails is good. The Peg 36 Trail does have a wider platform on the ground.
@@RoadTrailRun Interesting!
Nice video. Which running shoe would you prescribe to run a rocky trail and road? I'm a beginner and I've watched tons of videos but still don't know which is best. The path in my neighbourhood is pretty much a desert with tons of small rocks and I'd like to run on the road sometimes.
Your recommendation is worth it. Thanks
Well the Pegasus 37 would be a fine choice for that as long as rocks aren't large. Upcoming Pegasus 37 Trail another. Saucony Xodus 10 while a fairly heavy shoe can handle literally any trail and is great on the road as well. It has a softer bouncier TPU midsole and a great outsole,
Mine just came in today picked them up in a half size bigger. I wonder if they will do a trail version
A Pegasus 37 Trail is expected soon!
Glad to hear your take on these Sam! How would you compare these with the Saucony Shift since theyre like closer in terms of weight and purpose?
Thanks Roie! Shift is heavier, more stable, and has a much more pronounced rocker. I would say Peg will handle tempo runs a bit better while Shift focuses more on daily runs
I would also add the Shift upper is lighter on the foot, roomier, and more comfortable while the Peg is more a performance type fit.
Sam - do you think this shoe will replace the Vomero? how do the two compare? Thanks for a great review - yet again!
No, the new Vomero leaked, it will have Zoom X and React.
Thanks! Not sure on that. Vomero quite different with a thinner forefoot and more agile feel up front. Peg 37 clearly more protected up front with its giant air bag given a more measured but significant pop whereas the Vomero front is more toe off using the toes if you will. Peg 37 more balanced in weight front to back through so can handle slower paces a bit better but with less rear stability due to platform,
It's not the 37th Edition. It's just the model 37.
thank you for the review. been waiting for it. this vs novablast as a daily trainer?
If it helps as a heel striker i didn't get on well with the Novablast. Too soft and unstable at the back.
@@ifonly2675 I tried Solar Glide, it is also too soft. Are all Adidas cushioned shoes so soft? Makes it less responsive.
bigthiof I think that may be the big comparison of the day. NovaBLAST is a really, really fun trainer - Nike seems to be enlivening the Peg here, but will it be enough? I can’t wait to find out.
@@cmessi The Bostons aren't too soft but they're lower stack height and lighter so i use them only for tempo runs no longer than 15 k. My favorite long distance shoe at the moment is the Saucony Triumph 17. I'm in love with this shoe !
Kind of similar and need to compare more. Similar at the heel in being a narrow platform. The Peg 37 has a more secure far easier to dial in upper and overall is more stable. Novablast has advantage of lighter weight. If you are light, tend to run faster paces consider NovaBlast but I think overall it is less versatile
I have these shoes. I am a runner in 36' on 10km, and I do not see myself running a 10 with, or even a semi: they are not made to go fast. On slow gaits (jogging, EF) up to gaits approaching 4'00 ~ 4'15 per kilo, nickel: good energy return, optimal comfort. But beyond these speeds, we feel constrained at the level of the stride, the sole seems to play more against us than with us, hence a feeling of too much energy expenditure. I wonder what the "Turbo" version of this Pegasus 37 is worth at this level suddenly ... Maybe it is more versatile and therefore quite simply a much better choice.
Great pace! Agree! For uptempo type running but due to weight of shoe the Tempo Next while very different in ride, kind of mechanical is far superior to men's Peg 37. If your foot is small enough the Peg 37 women's in D width is a far superior and smoother running shoe than the men's for me. It has softer React and a lower pressure Air Zoom which makes a huge difference. And it is lighter with a superior easier on the foot upper. Add 1.5 US to your men's size to get women's. See reviews of all of the above at the link below under Nike.

Compre the react in the 37, Miler, Vomero 14, Epic React, and Infinity React. Which is more plush, for someone who is a heavy weight runner?
If you are a heavier runner I think the Miler and Infinity are better choices with Infinity somewhat more stability oriented than Miler if you need that. See Miler vid here: th-cam.com/video/Ox1pAVS-4ss/w-d-xo.html
RoadTrailRun which one offer the most space for toebox?
@@roveirdatu3851 All quite similar with Miler widest but Peg 37 is also available in wide, miler and others that I can see are not.
RoadTrailRun I asked Bc my when I ran on the peg 35 it gave me metatarsal issue and since then I haven’t bought any peg. You think the new front air bags would prevent?
Roveir Datu Same for me
Hi Sam, I haven't gotten any other version of regular pegs before because I've always found them stiff. But I'm definitely buying these ones, would you recommend me to go up 1/2 size? The only reference on sizing that I own are the 35's turbo on size 9 (my regular size) and they are pretty snug for me, I can run in them any distance with no problem but if I use them for casual they tend to feel kind of oppressive after a while.
It's been a while since I ran Turbo but fit is similar here, maybe a touch roomier but a denser mesh upper. It is a fine running shoe upper but maybe not a great casual one. Half size up will not give you more volume but more front toe room as the profile is quite pointy You could also consider the wide version
Hadn’t heard about the different air pocket pressures anywhere. Interesting - could even mean you could “fine tune” your shoe by purchasing a women’s model instead (and vice versa) if you wanted a softer or more dampened ride.
Michael Ellenberger really? It’s like on every review and on Nike’s release video.
SquawkKnife Haven’t had a chance to catch up on the marketing as yet with a busy last week. Will get caught up before testing, of course!
I’ve heard that the heel is 35mm it was from a none reliable source. The photo did in fact have a measuring tool next to it. So not sure on this one. I was very skeptical as 35mm is very very high. I would assume the asics nimbus light is better. Better ankle fit, a wider toe box a lighter shoe and a more stable ride. With the air bag does it give a snappy toe off a would compare it more to a zoom fly 4 initially. Would love to here you’re though on the peg 37 be leaning towards a more workout/faster tempo shoe? But at 10 oz it’s a bit on the heavier side
Nike has 31.5 /21.5 including sock liner. Nimbus Lite is roomier more flexible, less stable up front and is not as versatile as well found the flexibility got foot tiring. The more direct compare in ASICS is Cumulus 22 which has a thinner less responsive (GEL vs the giant Zoom Air) forefoot,
If I’m a UK 6 / EU 40 in all my other trainers should I stick with the same size or go up half as I’m running in them?
Hi KK, what other trainers and are you running in them and how do they fit. Most unless the pointy toe interferes should go true to size or for more room volume try the wide. It does have a performance type fit but a good one
Pegasus 37 has very similar characteristics to the Vomero 14: weight, the use of react + air pocket (I know it's not a full length air pocket but still the same technology), well cushioned. My question is: does the ride feel somehow similar to the Vomero 14? Because the Vomero 14 was a cushioned and responsive (I mean, not super responsive but react is a responsive foam) shoe and Pegasus 37 appears to lean to that side. Are we in front of 2 totally different shoes despite the similarities? (Note: I'm talking about the midsole here)
Despite surface similarities quite different. Vomero more stable at the heel more agile thinner feeling forefoot while Peg 37 super thick air bag makes forefoot more cushioned in feel. More contrast between front and back ride feel. Vomero I think works best run fast as it has that snappy forefoot but is also a touch more back weighted. Hope this helps. Need to run Peg more
@@RoadTrailRun Thank u; very good description. Apparently, Nike is changing the essence of their lines: Vomero 14 was already a huge change and now it seems that we have a pegasus that is more cushioned than a vomero 🤔
Hello Im size 11.5 US do you recommend ordering size 12? Saludos de Mexico
11.5 works for you in what shoes?
Hi Sam! One question, to pair with Vaporflys Next what i use on fast trainings, tempos and 1miles workouts, what shoe did you pick?
Pegasus 37 or Infinity React, uses will be general training at 5:30 from 5-18k to save de VF, and some recovery runs..
About Infinity did you notice any bads on the internal arch of the foot?
Thanks for the help like always!
Pegasus 37 but.. women's in a D width: softer React, less air pressure,, thinner more comfortable upper, less awkward than men's and of course upcoming Tempo Next% see our YT and written review.
Infiinity React a great ride significantly held back by plastic side rails particularly lateral side for me but many like
Peg 37 or Vomero 15?!
Out of Asics Novablast, Salomon Sonic 3 Balance and Pegasus 37 which one would be your go-to shoes?
Tough call. Still leaning Sonic Balance over Peg 37 but not by much and need to run Peg more. Sonic Balance may be a bit more versatile and stable at the rear but is denser firmer at forefoot than Peg
@@RoadTrailRun Thank you.
For my sizing, I am 1/8th of an inch away from wide sizing. Do you think going up a full size to compensate for swelling will also help with my semi wide feet?
Not so sure that is a good idea...as they would be long and long feeling. what fits you now well? I think trying wide might be a good idea at your true size
@@RoadTrailRun Alright. Only way to get wides is to customize and I'm not a fan of their options. Being familiar with Pegasus' line releases, do you know if will come out with a wide version anytime soon?
@
RoadTrailRun pegasus 37 vs Reebok forever floatride energy (1 or 2)?
Forever Energy is a bit livelier for me but is less cushioned overall.
@@RoadTrailRun thank you.
Is it waterproof ? I mean wont get wet fast when theres water ?
Not waterproof but the dense upper should keep light moisture away
How does it compare with Turbo 2 or New Balance Propel, Rebel?
Soon on compares but denser firmer more stable than Propel but still very well cushioned Peg a more responsive rebound than bounce or spring.
More cushioned forefoot than Peg Turbo 2
Any idea about Peg 37 vs Peg Turbo 2?
Pocharapong Suankaew turbo 2 is probably a better choice it’s lighter, zoom x foam and react. In the Pegasus will be heavier and the react foam is on the stiffer side it seems like. The airbag gives a snappy toe off yet cushioned landing. The turbos2 would be more of a long run shoe for me or just when I’m on my feet for a long time. The Pegasus will be more supportive but also has a lot going on. The grip on the Pegasus 37 seems better for off roads/light trials
@@Carlosediaz543
Argh, your comment just made it so much harder not to buy the p37
(I already have to Turbo 2).
@@Carlosediaz543
The thing holding me back is their wideness, I might wait for the Nike store to reopen so I can try them on...
The only annoying thing this is that the nike store is in a different state (still just a few km away) here in Germany and their corona lockdown is stricter over there compared to my state 😅
How do you like the turbo 2’s?
@@user-bl4oq7fd8d That's exactly the problem I am facing currently. Did you buy the Pegs37? If so, let me know how was the transition from Turbo 2, as I totally love them.
Best Nike running trainer now 2020? What about the turbo 2
I only ran a few times in the Turbo 2. While improved over v1 I still find it a bit "sharp edged". This said our other testers really dig it. For me and see our full review below and updated the women's version of the Peg 37 in the sometimes available wider D width is the best of Nike 2020 trainers...so far. Slightly softer foam and the lower pressure Zoom Air lead to a really fine smooth ride. Of course it depends on your weight and pace but I weigh about 162 lbs and my training paces are low 9 min miles most days for runs generally around 6 miles.www.roadtrailrun.com/2020/05/nike-zoom-pegasus-37-multi-tester.html
@@RoadTrailRun I just ordered the nike pegasus 37 black and white from jd because of your video thanks
@@RoadTrailRun are the Nikes better then the Adidas ultra boost 20s my first running trainers
Peg 37 or turbo2 4,10/20 km?
Peg 37 women version D width for me over either softer, lighter, smoother, better match of Air Zoom to midsole React foam. Full review of both here www.roadtrailrun.com/2020/05/nike-zoom-pegasus-37-multi-tester.html
I have a slightly wide foot but don’t like their wide color way (black). Do you think I’ll would be able to get away with getting those in my normal size ? Or would you consider those as narrow shoes ?
Quite narrow mid foot more performance type fit but no front overlays. Might work. What other models have you had in regular width that worked out?
I believe if you customize the Peg37 on nikes website you can choose the Wide option, only downside its $20 extra to customize the colorway which gives you the wide option
RoadTrailRun I’ve been running in the Skechers Gorun 8 and the ultraboost 20. No issues with width in those.
MegaPS3Gamer Thanks. I didn’t know that was an option. I gotta check that out!
Joey del Rosario of the two which one do you like the most and why? And how many miles have you had them now?
So the overall height of this shoe increased by 2mm?
Yes
RoadTrailRun did it feel noticeable compared to the last year version?
@@roveirdatu3851 a bit especially the forefoot due to the Zoom Air bag being 10mm
So far most reviewers have commented on the lack of a good heel hold. What's your take on this ?
Feels like I'm about to walk out the shoe. I don't tie my shoes strings very tight. I can only imagine how it feels running. I ordered another pair in a smaller size
Totally fine even at half size up
@@RoadTrailRun Thanks Sam. Gives me hope
6 dislikes r by who just bought Pegasus 36 just before watching this vid
Compare with 1080V10
I prefer the fit here if narrower. No stretch knit over the toes which bothers me. The 1080 is a more rocker type ride with about equal cushion but less front response as no air bag. 1080 is a bit more stable wider at the rear but its achilles hold not quite as solid.
1080V10:Hoka alternative
Hard to imagine how you could not have liked the Peg 36. I look forward to trying the 37 too but just goes to show that people have to try shoes for themselves an take these types of reviews with a grain of salt.
35 and 36 dated rides, ill fitting for me. Coasting along.. Long over due for a major true to Peg overhaul. I ran in close to 100 different shoes of all types in the last year...of course we all have different needs and preferences
Road shoe tested on dirt-track, nice.
3/4 plus pavement 1/4 dirt. Peg is actually excellent on this kind of trail due to its outsole
Stopped listening as soon as he said 'weight gain'.
HORRIBLE... ASICS LOOKS MUCH BETTER...BETTER COLORS, COZIER...URIEL, PANAMA CANAL, MAY-9-2020
