“You want to evolve that way if you want to keep the devoted, knowledgeable runner. “The innovation, the design and the function of the Pegasus have come so far, but in thoughtful and calculated steps,” says Samuelson. To understand the legacy of the Pegasus, you need look no further than women’s marathon pioneer Joan Samuleson, who’s ran and trained in Pegasus footwear for over 30 years. Finally, a recognizable waffle-patterned rubber outsole caps off the look. Lightweight, semi-translucent mesh uppers offer a midfoot band for exemplary lockdown, plus a heel that tapers away from the wearer’s Achilles tendon - a design crafted directly from runner feedback. This switch offers exemplary energy return to propel the runner into their next stride, and is acknowledged by a color shift on the lateral midsole. Where previous models used a full-foot Zoom Air bag, the Pegasus 37 offers a double-thickness Zoom puck in the forefoot that’s placed differently in the men’s and women’s pairs. As is par for the course, Zoom Air is encased in the midsole’s foam folds, but its placement has been slightly altered.
