Nike Pegasus Premium: The Heavier-than-Expected Upgrade

The Nike Pegasus Premium is the latest addition to the Pegasus family, promising a more substantial upgrade than usual. At 10.4 ounces, it’s 10% heavier than the Pegasus 41 and even heavier than some maximalist trainers designed for long, slow miles.

This weight increase might not be ideal for everyday runs, but Nike is betting that the responsive qualities of the Pegasus Premium and its full-length Air Zoom pocket will entice runners seeking a little more oomph in their weekly rotations.

A New Ultralight Upper

The Pegasus Premium features a new ultralight upper constructed from engineered mesh and circular knit. This combination aims to reduce the overall weight of the shoe while maintaining its structural integrity.

What Does It Mean for Runners?

Assuming the Pegasus Premium delivers on its promises, runners can expect a more responsive and springy ride. However, the increased weight may not be ideal for those who prioritize a lighter, more agile shoe. The real question is whether the Pegasus Premium’s enhanced features will outweigh the added weight for runners seeking a more substantial upgrade.
