"If you don't know what to do with your running shoes, you can't go wrong with Nike's Pegasus collection. ”
This sentence is enough to tell everyone about its positioning and the status of Pegasus in the hearts of running enthusiasts. Beginning with the original Pegasus running shoe in 1983, the Pegasus series has been designed to serve every runner.
The one-piece upper cuts a thickened midsole with large lines and an upward hip finish at the tail that extends upwards to create a wing-like bump at the heel; The overall wonderful appearance curve is no less than a ** sports car!
Pegasus is such a well-balanced machine that it covers everything from beginner runners to world champions like Eliud Kipchoge, and can be worn by runners from big to light weight.
How to evaluate the new 37th generation, then it depends on what upgrades or changes Pegasus 37 has on the basis of the previous generation.
The new midsole is deconstructed, and the novice and old birds have their own place.
Compared with the Pegasus 36, the midsole structure of the Pegasus 37 has been comprehensively upgraded.
The first is to look at the application of the technical airzoom air cushion, which has changed from the full palm air cushion of the Pegasus 36 to the forefoot air cushion, but the thickness is twice that of the Pegasus 36 to improve the cushioning and rebound effect; Moreover, it is divided into three transversely arranged air bags, which is more convenient for the phalanges to exert force.
The midsole is upgraded from cushion material to React foam, which is lighter and more resilient than the former, and has better durability.
React as a new technology of Nike in the past two years, has achieved a good reputation in other product lines, in terms of weight, it has more advantages than the Cushlon foam used in the Pegasus series in the past, and in the process of testing, it shows rebound and durability performance is also stronger than Cushlon foam, and this time adding React to the midsole of Pegasus 37 can make up for the "return" of the 37th generation from the full palm air cushion to a certain extent Half a palm, so that the overall foot feeling cushioning feedback is insufficient.
Combined with the changes made by the Pegasus 37 compared to the 36, it seems that the overall feeling of the Pegasus 37 and its positioning have not changed much, but why did Nike go to such lengths to change the midsole material to make such a toss?
In fact, the key point is in the forefoot Zoom Air cushion, the "precisely calculated forefoot position" makes us seem to understand something, the Asian elite who joined the Nike Oregon project and realized the real forefoot landing running method rewrote the Asian Marathon record by changing the running method.
The forefoot run is the habit of the top elite.
Although 4% has led the trend of platform racing shoes, it is impossible for the Pegasus 37, which is so widely positioned, to allow all runners to achieve the forefoot, but the running posture of most runners landing on the hindfoot is indeed relatively inefficient and has a large impact on the body, so for marathon runners, more and more people use the full-palm running method, and these changes of the Pegasus 37 are a bit like people who are adapting to the forefoot running method.
For 5-15 km long-distance runners, this design also helps to guide the posture from the back foot to the front foot, because the forefoot is the main position of the ground rebound, so the air cushion is most needed, and when you put on the Pegasus 37, every time you land, you feel that the forefoot cushion rebound is more comfortable, and the body will naturally change towards a comfortable way of touching the ground.
To sum up, Pegasus 37 is suitable for any form of exercise below tempo pace, especially with less interval jogging.
For male and female couples, Pegasus 37 is also an excellent choice for competition shoes that are four hours away.
In addition to the balanced performance of the past, the Pegasus 37 may be a shoe that can guide the masses of runners to make changes to a more scientific and efficient running style.
