The Nike Vomero 14 had the same tongue as the Pegasus 36, but Nike brought out a second version of the Vomero 14 with a padded, longer tongue. The tongue of the 36 is also too short, so it slips downwards on runs. I have narrow feet, so I prefer to have a snug fit. I prefer the 35's upper purely from a comfort point of view. This change makes the Pegasus 36 slightly roomier than the Pegasus 35.

The tongue loses its padding and becomes a race-type tongue. The main difference between the Pegasus 35 and the 36 is the upper. Everything about the shoe is "just right." Now some might see this as boring others might see it as consistent. Even the price is not too cheap or not too expensive. It's firm but not too firm, stable but not motion controlling, heavy but not too heavy. I have run in every Pegasus since the Pegasus 30, and after every run in the Pegasus, no matter what version, I think to myself that this is the perfect goldilocks shoe.

This should make the shoe softer and lighter. The highly anticipated Pegasus 37 is rumored to have a React midsole instead of a Cushlon. It's also not like Nike can't afford to buy new molds and machinery every year to manufacture a brand new shoe. Some might see this approach by Nike as an "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" strategy.īut, I think Nike should take more risks and change the upper, midsole, and outsole every year: it keeps things fresh and innovative. The Pegasus 36 is an in-between year where only the upper gets updated. The Pegasus is also available through an array of third-party resellers and online shops.Įvery second year is a big update where the midsole, outsole, and upper all change.

Most large malls have a Nike store, and every Nike store carries the Pegasus. If you were to blindfold me and make me run in any version of the Pegasus, I could tell you that I'm running in the Pegasus-the ride is that distinct.
