In short, design matters – and Nike is always conscious of this truth. From a design standpoint, I believe that Flywire is what attracts eyeballs to take notice of the Pegasus and other models Nike makes that incorporate this technology.

The most noteworthy revision of the Pegasus is the inclusion of Flywire to help secure the midfoot and arch. This soft mesh likely adds to the overall comfort of the shoe as well. In fact, this initial sense of comfort can make or break a person’s interest in a running shoe and whether to potentially purchase it.Īccording to Nike, the upper on version 32 is an “engineered mesh upper.” I’m not entirely sure what this means, but the slight reduction in weight from version 31 to 32 suggests that this “engineering” had an impact, even if it is small. After putting version 31 on one foot and 32 on the other, I found the 32 to have a slight edge in terms of slip in comfort. I haven’t seen many reviews for the Pegasus 32 yet as it is still arriving on the market, but the few I have come across are positive. Thirty two years undoubtedly indicates the staying power of this particular flagship training shoe.

Incidentally, the Pegasus was the first running shoe I was fitted for back in 2006. Introduced to runners in 1983, the Pegasus is an iconic shoe for Nike. His “So Fast” (according to the poster text).Īlong with exuding a sense of confidence – or intimidation – to those who look upon the poster, Mo is also holding the recently updated Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 32 in his hand. I’d be honored to meet a runner like Mo Farah one day, but for now I’ll watch his running from afar like others and marvel at his fast. And he’s also the focal point on a Nike poster in the windowsill at the front of the store. Mo Farah, the Olympic gold medalist, is starting directly at me – from a distance though.
