As such, lacing up the shoe means manually flattening out the tongue every time, which is annoying. It connects only at the forefoot and it’s barely long enough to run the length of the laces, so it’s prone to bunching and folding. The only padding on the entire upper is on both sides of the collar, where two small pods hold your heel against the stiff, flared-out heel counter. The mesh isn’t stretchy but the toe box is wider than you’ll find on a regular Pegasus (or most Nike trainers, for that matter). The synthetic mesh material is designed to breathe well, but the tightly woven fibers ran hot during the summer months. Whereas the old Pegasus Turbo had a lightly padded mesh upper, the new one is ultra-thin. It tends to fold and bunch up if you don’t use the tongue’s eyelets to lace it to the shoe. The shoe’s thin and stretchy tongue connects only at the base of the toe box. “I felt that I was able to run faster with them but didn’t have to run harder to achieve a quicker pace.” There’s a 10mm offset between the heel and forefoot but no added arch support, so don’t expect additional stability from the Pegasus Turbo 2-thick, soft, and dynamic are better descriptors. “I love the bounce that these shoes provide,” said one tester. The midsole feels like a detuned Vaporfly, in that you sink into the ZoomX before it pushes you back up again with a rebound sensation similar to, but less aggressive than, the $250 racing shoe. There’s a visible seam where glue joins the two foams on multiple test shoes, the layers began to separate at the tip of the upturned heel, although the delamination was minor and didn’t affect the ride. But the soft and lightweight ZoomX material isn’t very stable, so Nike added a bottom layer of (denser) React foam to the bottom of the midsole to stabilize the ZoomX and improve the shoe’s durability. The top layer is ZoomX, the blown Pebax material that Nike uses in the Vaporfly shoes because it returns more energy than any other Nike material. Despite the “ZoomX” writing near the heel, the midsole is actually two different foams.
#NIKE ZOOM PEGASUS TURBO 2 STORES UPDATE#
The Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2’s midsole is unchanged for the update that’s a good thing, because Nike got it right in the original Turbo. React foam (bottom) is more dense, serving to stabilize the ZoomX and prolong the shoe’s lifespan. Observe the split between the two foams: ZoomX (on top) is softer and more prone to developing visible wrinkles as it compresses.
