Nike Pegasus 37 - First Run

The Pegasus 37 undergoes some significant changes for 2020: react midsole and a bigger front only zoom air pocket that is tuned differently for the men's and women's shoes. But is it still a great daily trainer? And does it still feel like a Pegasus?
TLDW: yes.

Man! That’s an awesome color on those Pegasus 37’s.

best colour

[@steveh5242]

Awesome customization on your Nike By You-really cool colorway. Loving my pair, much softer than the Cushlon midsoles of the past. The big forefoot zoom gives a lot of pop off the pavement and makes faster paces feel easier. Should be a great jack of all trades!

[@nanofan100]

Have you seen any improvements in pace as well or it's just more comfortable?

[@tricanle7491]

New shoes aren’t going to make you run faster, it’ll only make the faster paces easier on your feet.

[@steveh5242]

@@nanofan100 It's not my fastest pair of shoes, far from it. But in terms of versatility, the Peg can do it all better than any other shoe I have, and this newer version definitely handles faster paces better than the 35/36.

[@nanofan100]

Steve H Thanks, already loved the 35 and the 36, waiting to get my hands on this one too. I was just a bit worrued if its too soft for fast paces.

[@nanofan100]

Trican Le Well, check out the Nike Vaporfly 4%’s reviews then and change your mind. :)

[@JordanThomasmedia]

“Don’t mess with my outsole!” Old school peg wearer here. I would have been pissed if they went for more of an epic react type outsole because I think it would have take away some of the versatility across surfaces such as grass and non-technical trails.

[@runnerup9786]

Agree, in the UK we have a lot of rain too!!

[@nanofan100]

Agree, glad they ditched it from the prototype.

[@timospitzhorn1738]

Yep. Running a lot on gravel roads over here and hate it if the stones stick in the foam.

[@gregorystellatos8435]

I know what you mean, i still run in my old school Pegasus 27's. To me, they were the holy grail of a perfect all around running shoe....especially for heavier runners

[@RunTall]

Your videos are awesome. I just started doing running shoe reviews and I'm inspired by the fantastic job you do. I love running and watching your videos and doing some myself inspire me to keep going. I'm retired. I'm not an elite runner but I do run a lot and I really appreciate all the great videos you do. Thank you! Run Tall... Run Strong... Be Kind!

That Pegasus 37 color looks nice! Plus the lace!

[@its_Matt_B_]

This was some good timing as I just took my 37s out for their inaugural run this morning! I haven’t run in Pegs for a few years (Zoom Flys have been my go to) but you’re right about them being a comfortable old friend! They are a great shoe, mainly because even when they change, you know what you’re getting! 👊🏼

[@runningwithmarc]

AHHH, another spoiler right here :)

[@ianbritton7534]

Nike, had to come. Love you are more relaxed about them and in general. Great going.

[@marcusj4467]

Great reviews, you are definitely a top 3 reviewer for where I go for real world experience (and it seems you are mates with one of the other best reviewers out there). If you can, like many, only buy one pair primarily for shorter runs (10k max) with some interval training and very rare race days, running on mostly hard surfaces, what would you get? These, turbo 2, zoom fly 3 or something else like Carbon X, Rincon, adizero Adios 4 (I Heard- issue with 5) of Ultraboost 20? My existing is a Brooks Glycerin which has been good but lost its bounce and wearing out the sole, i want something more reactive, good cushion but maybe lighter and faster. I am a tall runner, typically 5-10km twice a week, seem to wear out the forefoot first, use other shoes for my gym, HIIT routines. Thanks !

[@rafiqyem]

cant wait to see more reviews on Nike, I hope you can do reviews on 2020 Nike Running apparel too!

[@mrrandom2501]

Sweet Customization!!! WAy better then most of the ready to wear color options for men. The women's options are way better

[@135Patriots]

I know the Peg 35 Turbo (at least V1) was disliked by many, but I was a fan and found it very versatile. That said, the "normal" Peg 37 looks like a really, really strong option for a daily trainer. My 35 Turbos are feeling pretty dead at 250+ miles and I may give these a look.

[@gj1817]

Been waiting for this! Here in the uk they are release in 2 weeks! Cant wait to get my hands on a pair. Loves the 35. Wasnt keen on the 36. Thanks for the reviews :D

Great review. I have definitely fallen back in love with the Peg. The 36s really didn’t do it for me. The 37s are great so far.

dont waste your time or money on the 37 the 35 is the best no heel slip and great cushion. Wish I had more then two pairs of the 35's.

That bubble is one of the main reasons I could never daily run in the previous Pegasus models (although I put up with it in the shield versions) so maybe this year I can leave the zoomflys alone

[@macau.friend]

Seems like a combination of Pegasus and Zoomfly into one shoe, especially the profile of the midsole. I just hope Nike will still release a new iteration of the Zoomfly.

[@kaishunider4110]

Pressed the like button before watching video!!!! Thank you

[@eclipsexoxoxox]

absolutely love the colourway on that peg37! the outlook of the shoe really does resemble the zoomfly3. might be using the same midsole. im guessing the peg37 is slightly lighter than the zoomfly3? keep up the good work!

I see you choose the lacing system that the shield version use. I'm curious as to what you like more about those laces over the regular laces. Thanks!!!

It's helps with the aerodynamics and for people who can't tie laces

[@compitaveggie]

Honestly, I had no idea about your beef with Nike but I had noticed I lost interest in your channel the past few months. From reading the comments, I see why. Nike is a beast. To some a beast is a bad scary thing, to others a great force that overcomes obstacles. However you take it, a beast is not something that is easy to challenge. Nike is a beast. Nike is not easy to challenge. Like it or not. I applaud your effort,even if it honestly failed. I subscribed to your channel for reviews of the best running shoes and to motivate me to run. Nike is without a doubt ONE of the best shoemaker. Excluding them your reviews essentially made the reviews of others pointless. Sort of like comparing an NBA player to a college player. We want to compare an NBA player to an NBA player. We want a fair comparison and see who is best, plain and simple. You have a lot of followers, myself included, but I’m older, as I suspect most of your subscribers are. We tend not to jump on movements as easily as younger adults/teens. These big movements started by social media generally start by people with millions and millions of younger followers who follow anything. This is not you. You do not have millions and millions of young followers. I have family members who have millions of followers who do nothing but look pretty. When they ask for something, they get it. In all reality it is sad and unfair, but so are many things in life. You run a great KZbin channel, but most people that watch it come for advice on shoes. When you don’t give complete reviews, you won’t get the support you had. I ride Zwift as well and was happy to see you post about it. But honestly, it is not your strong point. Running and running shoes are. Im sure u have a high paying job aside from KZbin money and sponsorships, but I really hope you continue to make great videos and review all brands of shoes including Nike. For the reviews and video you make, you deserve to get KZbin rich, way more than other youtubers. Let the young kids start the social movement and let them risk their livelihood on it. Im glad your back to the old Kofuzi.

[@kofuzi]

Can you tell me who your family member with millions and millions of young followers is?

[@TimLSim]

Such epic orchestral music befitting of one of the foundations of workhorse trainers.

[@ThePierrezx]

I have these shoes. I am a runner in 36' on 10km, and I do not see myself running a 10 with, or even a semi: they are not made to go fast. On slow gaits (jogging, EF) up to gaits approaching 4'00 ~ 4'15 per kilo, nickel: good energy return, optimal comfort. But beyond these speeds, we feel constrained at the level of the stride, the sole seems to play more against us than with us, hence a feeling of too much energy expenditure. I wonder what the "Turbo" version of this Pegasus 37 is worth at this level suddenly ... Maybe it is more versatile and therefore quite simply a much better choice.

They are the heaviest shoe in rotation ( zoomfly flynit and freedom 3). I thought the heel slippage might be and issue but the runners knot took care of that. I feel that they are really warm shoe compared to my other shoes.

Hi, I've had several incarnations of Pegasus over the years - my last was the 35. They have always served me well, but recently I've looked for a lighter shoe. I LOVE my pegasus turbo 2's and have wondered if I should go back to the Pegasus? I have also run in a few Brooks Ghost's too. What are your thoughts about trying the new Brooks hyperion tempo, getting more turbo 2's or going back to a pegasus 37? I seem to have the Exact same wear pattern that you do (lateral rear heel). Basically what are your favourite neutral shoes? (currently marathon training) Thank you. LOVE your reviews and clips BTW.

[@Bryan-dz4qz]

I don’t understand the need for a light shoe when you are not racing. The durability and responsiveness are more important!
