Me too!.. Philadelphia. Some local sporting goods store came to an early season practice with a trunk full of Pegasus’ (Pegasi?).. and everybody on the team got a pair. I wish I could remember how much we paid. Didn’t realize until your comment that that had to be the “1”!
I started with the 36's. I bought them to run a half marathon because I tried to enlist in the army, and they said my knee couldn't handle it. I was going to prove them wrong. Although I didn't actually run the half in them, I ran it because I wasn't going to be told I was incapable. The most recent one I bought was the 39. It is definitely an improvement from the 37 & 38.
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.
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.
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! 🙌🏼
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!
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.
I ran in the original Pegasus in college. I remember the ads in Runner's World at the time really liked the mythological branding. The last one I ran in was maybe the 36? I haven't gotten the last few iterations, but perhaps I should give them a try again.
Contrary to what people believe, the pegasus isn’t actually that durable. It’s still usable but I noticed it felt different and the foam felt a little flat after 350 miles. I also do a lot of speed training because I’m a high school track and xc runner
I got a pair of Pegasus 34 a couple years ago at discount when I started running. It was my only shoe in the rotation and I ended up running my first marathon in them lol. Currently I got 2 pairs of Peg 37 I got on discount (Nike outlet) for daily trainers a few months ago. Still my go to shoe for everything except race day and runs over 25k.
Hay Seth. My very fist pair of Pegasus where the originals, numero uno. The dark grey ones with the blue swoosh. Loved them. To the point where I have bought them again off the Nike website when they re released a year or so ago. My latest pair I bought are the Pegasus trail 3, which are also very good. I'm just a huge Nike fan. Many thanks Seth. Keep up the great work. 👍
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 👍😃🏃♂️
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 bought my first pegasus 37 last year. I didn't thought much of it at first, and didn't find a good use until recently. The Pegasus 37 feel great, they are lighter, really good cushioning and it allows me to go faster.
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)
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 TH-cam?" I looked up Pegasus 35 and up you came. I have been following ever since 👌🏃
Pegasus 36 was my first and my last is the 38, based on your recommendation on a question I asked. Toying between the 39 and 40 now. As usual very timely.
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 😂
My first Pegasus was the 35, then I bought the Peg Trail 1 and now I just ordered the Peg 39 on sale. I also owned the Peg Trail 4 GTX and the 38 Shield, as per Dr Seth recommended 👍🏿
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 one was nike Pegasus 38, dark navy one. Mainly used it for gym and as a casual shoe but was a great running when traveling and I didn't want to rock my massive Asics Gel Nimbus or my tempo shoes. Probably gona look to pick up the 40 or 39 on sale as a good all rounder and back up runner.
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!
QD: never had a pegasus. Grew up with the Gel Cumulus. All the way back to gel cumulus 16. In fact i think the cumulus 24 was and still is my personal favorite running shoe. And i hate what they did with the 25. But seeing this, makes me thinking about changing over. Heard so much good about the peg 39 :D
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!
My first and only Pegasus was the 38. Aside from having a great outsole suitable even for winter/snow running, I did not find the ride all that special. Unless there is a radical overhaul, I can’t see myself purchasing again.
: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.
First Nike running shoe was Pegasus 29 and I ran Amsterdam Marathon in them... waaaay back in 2011. - If Nike reps are reading these comments… PLEASE... with the bigger sizes of all Nike running shoes... and I mean all... Pegasus, Invincible, Vaporfly.... Vomero… please make the laces a little bit longer. Trying to tie a runners knot in a UK size 11.5 is practically impossible - and is impossible in my new Invincible 3s.
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.
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.
My first (and only) Pegasus I bought in 1988, a year after it came out. It was on sale, like 40 bucks. Not sure which iteration, but 35 years ago, it got me through firefighter drill school. It was a bit wider than other Nikes, and I thought Air was magic. That's my review. 8.4/10. Goes in the cabinet.
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.
My first Nike shoes was the Peg 32 and it survived for a looong time! Easily more than 1000km of running and to this day I sometimes wear it for walking.
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.
Just an upper update. I wouldn’t buy the next version of a shoe just because of an upper update. The upper from the previous version would have to be terrible for me to buy the upgrade. Not sure I would waste my time taking this shoe to 50 miles with just an upper update but hey, Nike is sponsoring the video, you got to. 😂
Seth, I love history as well. Did you ever realize that you could create a museum of running shoes with all the shoes you have?! Including the ones that you have cut up!
I ran cross country in 1983 and bought a pair of Nike Pegasus shoes. Little did I know that it was actually Pegasus 1.
Me too!.. Philadelphia. Some local sporting goods store came to an early season practice with a trunk full of Pegasus’ (Pegasi?).. and everybody on the team got a pair. I wish I could remember how much we paid. Didn’t realize until your comment that that had to be the “1”!
I was born in 83 LOL

Still rocking the 37, it’s been like 3 years, 500 km later and they still feel great
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.

Pegasus 26. First
Nike 1977. Blue and yellow. Favorite Pegasus so far was 35. Still wear them just for walking.
this would be a very different review if it wasn't nike sponsored

First and most recent Pegasus, the 40. Bought a pair today. Really impressed with the upper!

QD: Peg36 Trail one and only oegasus. Got me back into trail running, so it will always hold special place in my heart.
"pegasus plus" in 86, which i think was the 3rd peg!, i have 40,39,38,36 and turbo2
My first Peg was the 27, when i start to work for Nike it was my dress shoes for every day work
“Beholden to no one,” except Nike. Considering how much of your channel is shoe reviews, this was a bold move! Keep holding them accountable!
:qod: My first Peg was 33. I also had the 34 and 36 Trail. I still run in the Turbo 2.
My first and only Pegasus was the 38. Aside from having a great outsole suitable even for winter/snow running, I did not find the ride all that special. Unless there is a radical overhaul, I can’t see myself purchasing again.
"When it looks like a Pegasus, feels like a Pegasus and runs like a Pegasus... it's most likely a Pegasus"
- probably Seth James DeMoor
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?
: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.
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
QD: First Pegasus: 36. Lastest Pegasus: 39. Planning to buy the 40 but they said it’s a same feels like the 39.
First Nike running shoe was Pegasus 29 and I ran Amsterdam Marathon in them... waaaay back in 2011.

My first and only was the 1983 model. Wondering how those old styles compare now?
I've had the Pegs 36, loved this shoe and one of the best shoes I've ever had. And I've got the 37's absolutely worst shoe I've ever had :(
I love my pegasus 37 👌
i was lucky to have Pegasus 40
glad you enjoyed it!
Qd, never owned a Nike. They don't sell them in my local run store.
QD: My first Pegasus was 32 (still working as walking shoes). My latest Pegasus was 35. I was running in them yesterday.
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.

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
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.
Drawbacks, I can think of one.
The shoe keeps gaining weight !
My first was the peg 36 and my last was 38
My first Nike shoes was the Peg 32 and it survived for a looong time! Easily more than 1000km of running and to this day I sometimes wear it for walking.
I am not sure what number it was, but my first pair was in 1992.
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.
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
Just an upper update. I wouldn’t buy the next version of a shoe just because of an upper update. The upper from the previous version would have to be terrible for me to buy the upgrade.

1st dgr strong 👍💪
First was 32. Than 34. Than 37. Plus the trail versions.
These seem like a hard sell over the 39 since they are on sale for as low as $71.97 direct from Nike!
Stop buying peg I feel it’s out of date
