How it ranks
The Nike Air Pegasus+ 29 ranks below most daily trainers in our data. Value and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Cushioning scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 18 runner reviews and 22 other rated shoes in the Pegasus product line.
Decent
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

93/100
