Pros

  • Three reviewers call it comfortable and supportive for everyday easy runs, one of them finding more arch support than in the Pegasus 40.
  • Two reviewers call it durable, one citing the amount of rubber on the outsole.

Cons

  • Averaging 11.2 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale, and one reviewer calls it a bit heavy.
  • It lists at $159, above the $150 median for daily trainers on sale, and value averages 4.0 out of 5 across twenty-two reviews.
  • Durability averages 3.8 out of 5, and one reviewer finds the stretchy upper makes it run smaller than other Nike trainers.

Solid, durable trainer with strange upper

4/5

Overall

I am not a big fan of the stretchy tight fit, it makes the shoes run smaller than any other Nike trainer I have used including past models of the same shoe. There isn’t as much rocker as the previous iterations but it’s still got the same more cushioned feel to it. Overall it’s a very durable trainer that I wear on easy days.

Most Comfortable Shoe I've Ran In

4/5

Overall

I usually run in whatever the latest Pegasus is, but these were more comfortable and had more arch support than the Pegasus 40, and pretty much any other running shoe I've ran in.
