Nike Pegasus Premium

Nike Pegasus Premium review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow, tapered fit typical of the Pegasus line. True to size; not recommended for wide feet.

Feel

Three-layer midsole (ZoomX, full-length Air Zoom, ReactX at the heel) delivers a firm, responsive energy return. At slower paces the Air Zoom contribution diminishes; the benefit is most noticeable under 5:45 min/km.

Durability

Full-length waffle-patterned hard rubber outsole; estimated longevity is average for a trainer. One Italian source reports 150+ km with no significant signs of breakdown. Expected mileage not explicitly stated by sources.

Best for

Daily trainer for moderate-pace runs up to the half marathon. Suited for runners seeking responsiveness without sacrificing cushioning; also appropriate for heavier runners. Not recommended for speed work or distances beyond 21 km.

Weak points

High weight (325–345 g depending on size): a unanimous criticism across all sources. Narrow, high-stack platform with stability concerns; multiple sources advise against it for runners with weak ankles or wide feet.
