The Pegasus series is a benchmark in the world of running and its 37th edition puts it back in the spotlight. A new update brings major changes to one of the best-selling training shoes in the history of running. We can even talk about a change of concept, but what's new in the Nike Pegasus 37? The icon that never stops evolving!

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 is here, a shoe that has been making history for almost four decades. For the first time in the Pegasus we find the React foam, which favors a lighter and more elastic stride.

There are many new features that bring with them these universal Running shoes, aimed at all types of runners and optimized for all types of distances, so let's go by parts!

What's new in the Nike Pegasus 37

Nike Pegasus 37, pioneer in the legendary Pegasus saga in implementing the React technology, but this is not the only change that this new model brings with it, far from it! According to Nike, the biggest novelty of the Pegasus 37 is the new Zoom Air chamber strategically designed in the forefoot area. A thicker chamber compared to the previous version, the Pegasus 36, which guarantees greater reactivity in each step.

Major changes for an incredibly light and springy running experience that keeps the essence of this running icon intact; offering versatile and comfortable cushioning to complete all types of workouts. A model that vindicates the valor of innovation and consolidates its leadership in the lists of best-selling running shoes of the moment.

The new features are also more than evident at the aesthetic level; the translucent upper offers a faster cut aesthetic and the midsole, with a greater presence of foam, accentuates, even more if possible, its nonconformist character.

Take note, these are the main novelties brought by the new Nike Running Pegasus 37.

  • React foam in the midsole for a more elastic and lighter footprint.
  • More cushioning, more foam without adding bulk.
  • Presence of the characteristic Air Zoom unit in the forefoot but in this version, twice as big as in previous models.
  • Competitiveupper , made with a translucent and breathable mesh.
  • New lacing system, this time without Flywire cables, very similar to the one we have already seen in the fast Nike Zoom Fly 3.

Innovation and evolution, the keys to success in the Nike Pegasus 37

The Nike Pegasus 37 is a true reflection of Nike Running 's continued commitment to innovation and evolution. This is the latest installment of an icon in the world of running, the successful and legendary Pegasus saga, which continues to make history after almost four decades. A silhouette that echoes the most cutting-edge technological innovations of the moment of the Oregon firm but remains true to its essence.

Nike's React foam is one of the most revolutionary technological advances of recent times, capable of offering the runner a permanent energy return during the race. A cushioning system that seeks to offer a smoother, more elastic and efficient running experience, without renouncing, of course, to maximum comfort.

The fact of implementing, for the first time, this foam in the successful Pegasus saga has set off all the alarms! In addition to the characteristic Zoom Air unit, twice as large as in previous versions, the presence of this innovative technology is added for a unique result: more lightness, elasticity and softness in each step.

More lightness, more reactivity and smoothness in running

The midsole of the Pegasus 37 has little to do with the full-length Cushlon and Zoom Air foam found in the Nike Pegasus 36 The ambitious decision to implement React foam aims to offer neutral runners even more responsive cushioning. A revolutionary cushioning that accentuates the lightness in running together with an unprecedented energy return.

As stated by the company itself, "this new version is a giant leap forward" as it guarantees an incredibly lighter running experience. In addition, thanks to this new implementation, the durability of the shoe as a whole is increased so you can enjoy mile after mile!

More support and better fit

Another new feature of the latest edition of the Pegasus series compared to previous versions is the upper. This silhouette dispenses with the characteristic Flywire cables and chooses to implement a lacing system that guarantees a higher level of support and fit. An optimized resource for moving at livelier speeds as it contributes to enjoy more natural movements.

Better traction and durability

The outsole of these Pegasus 37 is somewhat reminiscent of the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% flyers. The waffle-like structure disappears, giving way to reinforced rubber zones for superior wear resistance.

The heel and metatarsal areas, some of the most exposed to wear, have been reinforced in order to increase the durability of the model and, at the same time, improve traction.

Designed specifically for women

As we could already see in the Pegasus 35, an update that was a real revolution in the legendary Pegasus saga, this Pegasus 37 also presents a specific model for women. It is a version that has been designed according to the preferences of women runners. As Nike itself says, "during the development process of this model, we took into account hundreds of comments from women who tested the shoes and said they preferred a softer stride".

The result? The women's Pegasus 37 offers a slightly lower level of firmness than the men's version thanks to a Zoom Air chamber pressure adjustment.

Nike Pegasus 37, a leap in quality

The arrival on the market of the new Nike Pegasus 37 has been a real revolution in the world of running. The truth is that this icon continues to build on its legacy of being a universal and versatile training shoe, optimized for everything from the fastest series workouts to the most demanding distances.

Designed for neutral runners looking to move at paces under 5 :30 min/km, this new Pegasus 37 has made a significant leap in quality.

The fact of implementing React foam and the Air Zoom unit in the forefoot is twice the size of the previous versions, already guarantees a superior running experience. A shoe that we could classify as a mixed shoe since it allows us to move at very fast paces and complete demanding runs, including marathons.

This latest release also evolves at an aesthetic level as it sports a design with a markedly competitive touch. A faster, more aerodynamic cut, in line with the latest releases of the Oregon firm. As far as technical specifications are concerned, it should be noted that these Pegasus 37 keep intact its characteristic 10 mmdrop, however, lighten its weight placing it below the barrier of 300 grams.

In short, a silhouette that will delight the different athletes and popular runners looking to enjoy a more elastic and lighter footprint but without giving up the unique character of the Pegasus.
