Overall
7.43/10
Ride
7.8/10
The full-length Air Zoom provides a responsive and lively ride, making it a more energetic Pegasus. However, it feels firmer at slower paces.
Design & Comfort
7.5/10
A clean and versatile design with a minimalist upper. Offers a comfortable fit for daily training, but the midfoot stability could be better.
Value
7.0/10
Excellent durability and a full-length Air Zoom unit make this a practical, long-term value proposition without unnecessary gimmicks.
My verdict
The definition of a workhorse, with a responsive Air Zoom unit.
