Good alternative to Nike Pegasus

2minmaster · Jul 11, 2018

5/5

Overall

Picked these up as were a good price and a previous pair of New Balance I felt were comparable to the Nike Pegasus 32. Very happy with them cushioning is good, fairly lightweight for a big shoe and love the volt colorway. Only thing slightly let them down is some wear on the inside of the ankle collar. Def would get another pair.
