Siiiick thumbnail! Love my Pegasus Turbo 2, they have been far more durable than expected for me. Also, super versatile - some of my best long runs and some of my best tempo runs in these... Also, loved the toebox volume. The heel was a little weird but once I figured out the lockdown, no issues at all. Probably going to order a second pair.
Thanks Colin! That’s awesome to hear and they do last a decent amount of time! I’m on my second pair now with my first one at over 350miles. It’s still got some life left but I can definitely feel the foam not being that bouncy anymore. Get them before they start phasing them out soon 😄.
If you had trouble with those other two shoes than this probably won’t fit either. It’s about the same size as the Pegasus 36. Did you try the wider version of the Pegasus? The 37 had a wide version too.
Thanks Zhixun! I believe the weight is important and if anything that's one aspect that is black/white to understand with these shoes. You can really feel the difference with a 7 oz shoe compared to a 9 or 10 oz shoe.
I love both Turbo versions. I actually purchased 3 of the Turbo 2s. Great video. The shoes do feel better when your going alittle faster (tempo runs). I definitely hope the new version this year will be as good. I also hope I'm lucky enough to get the Turbo 2 discount for a few more pair under $100. This is a fun shoe and again a great review.
Thanks MJ! I’m hoping the new line will be good too but can’t go wrong with getting these for under $100. I see them releasing the new alpha shoes probably late summer while liquidating all of the turbos in the meantime so great time to pick up a few to put them in the rotation as a tried and true shoe.
Just came back from a short run in my Peg 35 Turbo. The midsole just felt flat (at 400km now) , I needed to push quite hard to get the pace, thinking of retiring the pair already. Surprisingly my 4% seems to last longer using same zoom x. Tq for the video.
Hey Gundam, 400km doesn’t seem like a lot of distance. It’s a shame that it has gone flat already. My pegasus turbo 2 lasted 482 km and 4% is at 320km and still going pretty strong minus the outsole wearing.
@@RunWithJ well, it was good for as long as it lasts, i better retire it b4 I get myself injured unnecessarily. Same with the Rincon, that midsole went dead at just about 300km 😔. For your 4% outsole wear, just apply some shoe goo and they are good to go again. I did the same with mine. Cheers.
Yes many runners have mentioned this on here. My running form was a little unorthodox in my earlier videos while trying to record but I have since tried to change my form.
Yeah that sounds great 👍feel free to let me know what ideas you have. I like your videos with conversations with other runners. I think we could use more of that on UA-cam. I really need to venture to try other shoe brands.
It is pretty thin. I can see it wear out a lot faster for people who have pronating issues. Mines started wearing out on the edges first and I’ve seen others where it looks like it completely wore off. Mines luckily was still ok after even 250 miles. Just the support was going down.
Hi Boqun. I hope they do but the tempo next % they released this year was supposed to replaced the Pegasus turbo line. I think it could’ve done better but it was a little let down. So far no news yet of a new Pegasus turbo.
What to do? Got a pair of Pegasus turbo 2. But size 9 while I'm size 10. Kinda snug in my feet. Is it a keep, maybe just for casual wear or will I sell it? Got it for 50% off when I bought it.
Hey Cavin, nice job getting it for 50% off. If it’s uncomfortable to run in then I don’t know you will end up using it. If you can still return it that’s what I would do otherwise I would just keep it and use it for walking. I have seen a few people use it for that. It’s comfortable and nice looking shoe.
Mines died at about 300miles. It feels kind of flat now and it hurts my legs when I run. There should be some good deals on turbo 2s now on different stores. Dicks sporting goods has a 20 off 100 if you text KICKOFF to 24001. As we get closer to fall, prices will drop more when the tempo is about to get released.
Sudstah Gaming wanted to try them out. I like them and they are better suited for my slower training. On top of that I have the zoom fly 3, didn’t really need 2 speed shoes.
Thanks Jacob! Yes these would be great for tempo and speed and you can find some great deals on this now. Another option is Saucony speed for $160. The tempo next % would be another option but that’s coming out soon. From what I’ve tried these would be my top recommendations.
Wow $90 I’ve never seen it go for that unless it’s used or something. I would make sure it’s a real shoe or not some knockoff by looking at the box and labels. But if it is authentic yeah I would.
RunWithJ i think they’re real coz they’re from the nike outlet here. Other stores here are also selling those at the same price (but not nike stores though). Just bought one. Great shoes!
Some of the Nike outlet stores are selling them at a discount. Nike.com has them for sale too on certain color ways and dicks sporting goods sells some as well along with my color way for a discount.
Thanks for the review. I have achilles swelling when I run and tried these once and my heel def slips and tight lacing causes my toes to sometimes numb so I had to loosen but then my heel slips. However- they are mad comfortable and about 2 miles in I finally got a good tempo. Thanks again for your outtake!
Hey Whitney! Yup I totally agree with you. Wish they put some padding in the heel like the regular Pegasus. They really skimmed this down for the weight. I get tendinitis on top of foot when it’s laced up too tight and heel slips too unless I wear thicker socks. They are comfy and soft with the zoomx.
Thanks Dark Knight for the feedback! For all the newer videos I’ve included a time code in the descriptions where you can skip right to the reviews for people who don’t want to see the demo.
What kind of worked for me was to wear thicker socks to kind of fill in the shoe. I like wearing ankle socks while running but for these I also wear long compression socks so it doesn’t rub on my bare Achilles while running. I’ve also had to tighten the laces more to keep my foot in but be careful not to make it too tight which caused pain for me on the top of the foot. It’s a good shoe but not a perfect shoe in any way. Hope that helps.
I would probably choose the Pegasus turbo 2 but only because of the weight difference and I can deal with the heel issue. Both of the shoes are very similar in terms of materials but some people really like the turbo 1s because of the cushioned upper/heel but everything else is very similar. If you care about weight and like it little firm I would get turbo 2 and If you hate heel slipping and want comfort and can deal with shallow toe box Pegasus 35 turbos would be good. Being that the 1st turbos probably are older you can probably get them for really cheap so they would make the better overall deal in my opinion.
RunWithJ i honestly couldn’t find many pairs of the first turbos online. I just ordered a pair of the turbos 2 for 129 on Nike. Hopefully I like them :)
Nice! Nike has a great return policy even if you wear it and now i think it’s 60 days. They’re phasing our the peg 1s and they show up in outlets now so you probably won’t see these soon any longer. Hope you like it. $129 isn’t a bad price especially with the Pegasus 37 being $120.
Hey Nick, sorry getting back to you a little late. It depends how much you run. They will last about 300 miles and that’s about it in my experience. If you have other shoes in the rotation they should last you a year. I had mines for a year and half with one other shoe in the rotation and I run about 100-150 miles a month. The zoomx foam doesn’t last very long.
Now that you have a new pair, how different do they feel? I mean, did your last pair feel already flat? If that's the case, when did you notice they started to lose the cushion and response? Great review!
Thanks Luis! Mines went flat around 250 miles. I can really feel the difference with the new pair as it’s so much more bouncy and hurts my foot less while running. The foam just doesn’t give me any support on the old pair and after i run in them I have Achilles strain. I really beat up my first pair running it in trails and in bad weather so that could be a reason why too. Compared to my infinity run that’s at 375 miles and still being ok I don’t see these lasting that long. I think the zoomx foam while it’s nice just isn’t made to last too long compared to react foam.
@@RunWithJ I heard that the insoles gets flat in most cases so perhaps you can put your new pt's insoles in your old pair to see if that theory is true 🤔
@@RunWithJ Awsome! PT2 are one of my top shoes of 2019. I use them for long runs and speed work. My concerns about durability come from the fact that I usually buy my shoes in the US and with covid 19 I don't think I will be able to travel or ask a friend to bring me shoes soon. I'm training for Chicago 2020 (if it is not cancelled) and I have to decide if I'll buy an overly priced outdated shoe (I live in Bolivia and, for instances, green ZF 3's price is USD.200) or wait until August in order to travel and buy my shoes, but that's an option only if my PT2 (120 miles on them) can hold up for my training (I have 4 other shoes in rotation with pretty much the same mileage and I don't want to use the pt2 until they finally get me injured)
That’s good you have other shoes Luis to take up some of the miles. It looks like you still have some life left on the PT 2. It’s amazing how expensive these shoes cost overseas and it would be difficult to come here and get it.
@@RunWithJ man 200 dollars for a sure with more zoom x only the heel is made of react it isn't gonna have the same life span as the turbos and I heard the air pods in the alphaflys lose its bouncyness after 80 miles so top a 200 dollar shoe is gonna last what 150 miles. They also can't be worn casually because it has a nylon plate in it
Yeah I heel strike a lot and I’ve been working on the form but I don’t think it affected me running with this shoe. I still take advantage of the full length zoomx on the shoe.
Guys I'm having problems with my Nike zoom pegasus turbo 2 as shown in the photos. Has anyone had the same? There were two pairs, one with 300 km of use and the other with less than 100 km, and Nike says that the life span is 1280 km. I contacted Nike and got no response! Don't buy this shit before check this:
It should last more than 300km. What is wrong with the shoe? Is it not feeling the same or Is the shoe falling apart? I’ve heard people having issues with the foam ripping apart. My first one lasted 482 km before I had to change it.
@@RunWithJ awesome! It took me quite a while to get used to running on my toes and the ball of my toes but it helps so much! Great video btw. I plan on getting them

How narrow is the shoe? I had to return both Pegasus 36 and the newest infinity run cause they were too narrow for my feet
If you had trouble with those other two shoes than this probably won’t fit either. It’s about the same size as the Pegasus 36. Did you try the wider version of the Pegasus? The 37 had a wide version too.
@@RunWithJ Thanks for the reply man, I will check out the Pegasus 37 wide.
Your video are awesome... Such a beautiful place u were running i wish i could also run in this beautiful place.. lovely
Thank you! I appreciate it.
I really appreciate the weights comparison. I believe most people get so confused about the nuances of Nike Running lines.
Thanks Zhixun! I believe the weight is important and if anything that's one aspect that is black/white to understand with these shoes. You can really feel the difference with a 7 oz shoe compared to a 9 or 10 oz shoe.

@@RunWithJ oh im in love with colorful shoes too🤣😎🤟🏽
I'm no runner expert. but I'm pretty sure it's best if you land with the front portion of your foot rather than the heel.
