We are talking about Running shoes like the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus, and we are referring to a mythical saga of specific footwear for runners that carries the flag of innovation and evolution. For this reason, perhaps era only a matter of time, but it is clear that when Eliud Kipchoge undertook the major challenge of running a marathon under the 2 barrier on the Monza circuit, there was a before and after. Although the Kenyan athlete was left with the honey on the lips, stopping the clock in 2h00'25", he was able to set a new world record -although not an unofficial one-, and also to be at the gates of an epic sporting feat.
In that staging of the #Breaking2 in the emblematic Formula 1 circuit in Italy, Nike Running put all the meat on the grill, and looking to make history, the designers of the Oregon brand created a flying shoe tailored to Kipchoge, which resulted in the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% competition model with the idea of assaulting that "miracle" of running 42.195kms. under the hours. But as we were saying, the latest of the latest from the North American firm resorts to the binomial: Pegasus and evolution/innovation, the result of which is the new launch of the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo.
Thus, these Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo stand out for combining the reactive ZoomX foam of the Vaporfly 4% flyers, providing maximum power to the characteristic Pegasus model. As the name suggests, the idea is none other than to make these Pegasus Turbo the fastest model in this iconic Running shoes saga.
That is, the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo combines the best of the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% - ZoomX foam - and the Nike Pegasus 35 - beveled heel that improves the landing phase of the stride cycle - for example.
Having said that, it is necessary to make a brief digression in highlighting the three major plus points that provide that innovative ZoomX foam from Nike Running to the Pegasus Turbo. Namely:
And if you're wondering...how does this ZoomX foam work? You should know that the mission of this new material is to try to minimize the loss of energy in each stride you take. To do this, the technological resource to be used is that the foam is able to return to its original shape at each transition. Hence, the axiom to be fulfilled is that the closer the foam is to its original shape, the more energy it will be able to return.
When comparing the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo with the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4%, the main difference between the Pegasus Turbo and the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% is that they do not have the exclusive carbon fiber plate that the Vaporfly 4% does have. The purpose of this plate is to provide a greater sense of propulsion in each stride so that the runner can go out with a bang, which makes the shoe the most suitable option for race day, but it is somewhat excessive for daily use, and rather as a regular training shoe.
This dismissal is based on the fact that the ZoomX itself offers the highest energy return of Nikes foams, so it has the ability to give that more comfortable boost that every athlete needs in their daily training sessions.
In short, the cushioning capacity of the ZoomX foam allows these new Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo to improve shock absorption, softening each rebound; considerably increase speed; at the same time they do not renounce to provide certain support that contributes to a more comfortable and smooth run, and always adjusting to the different rhythms and distances that each runner covers in their own training cycles.
The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is born with a clear vocation of being one of those flying shoes, and its characteristics are a trademark of the house:
Finally we also tell you that these Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo are already available since last July 19, but exclusively for NikePlus members, via Nike App (USA, China, Japan, Germany, UK and Brazil). And since August 2, 2018 in theNike Store online store , as well as in selected retailers.
