Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 85.3 / 100 — « In Nike's race & marathon lineup, the Pegasus Premium impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €290. »
  • RunRepeat : 83.6 / 100 — « We found the Pegasus Premium to be a wild ride packed with cutting-edge tech. On our runs, we were impressed by the triple-layer midsole, including the full-length Air Zoom unit that delivers trampoline-like bounce. However, we think that its bottom-heavy feel, tapered toebox, and steep price tag work against it too. Still, not every purchase is logical, and this shoe delivers a unique ride and a head-turning look few can match. »

Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €290. »
