Nike Pegasus 36

As the saying goes... "after the storm comes the calm", something of that you may think with the new release of the best-selling Nike Pegasus 36 After the real revolution that was its previous version, the reality is that there are not many changes in this new update either. The line to follow is the Nike Pegasus 35 that already underwent its revolution in 2018. Then, the latest version of the iconic Nike Zoom Pegasus, its number 36 already, burst onto the scene with a revamped upper, and keeping that versatile and comfortable cushioning that encourages you to keep running with confidence. And watch out, we already know the new Nike Pegasus 37, these ones really fly.

However, continuity does not mean that we will continue to see the same thing we have already seen, because not only are there changes, but they are focused on addressing the main demands and complaints of the loyal followers of the Pegasus family.

Of course, the improvements of the Nike Pegasus 36 do not represent a new revolution with respect to the Pegasus 35, and even in certain aspects they still maintain both the essence and the aesthetics. In fact, the 36 looks a lot like the 35. Although we could say that these expected Pegasus 36 have been developed on the basis of the Nike Pegasus 35 and the Nike Zoom Fly.

Nike Pegasus 36, main features and cushioning system.

That being said, the breakdown of what's new in the Nike Pegasus 36 from Nike Running could be started from its upper to its outsole, from top to bottom.

The first point to note is that the Oregon brand's product developers have opted to implement a tongue of the type implemented by the Nike Zoom Flyer. That is, now, in the Pegasus 36, the tongue is smaller, shorter and thinner, and what will contribute to provide a higher degree of comfort, while improving the fit and adaptation to the instep area. At the same time, the lacing mesh appears higher to avoid friction with the midfoot area.

As we've already mentioned, these Pegasus 36 's midsole and outsole remain unchanged from what was seen in the previous version of the Nike Pegasus 35. That is, the midsole continues to rely on the full-length Zoom Air unit, which offers a softer feel, as well as improving momentum in each stride. In addition, its cushioning capacity is also marked by the inclusion of the Cushlon ST foam, adding a softer and more resistant cushioning, which translates into greater firmness, but also improves the reactivity of the shoe. In short, the stride will be more reactive, dynamic and smooth in each new transition.

There are also no changes worth mentioning in the outsole of these Nike Pegasus 36. A strategic point of the shoe in which the grofe pattern is maintained, and through which the impact absorption is guaranteed, while contributing to improve the traction of the model on all types of surfaces.

New features in the upper of the Nike Pegasus 36

The most significant changes in this best-selling Nike Running model are to be found, of course, in its upper. The product developers of the American brand also focused their efforts on achieving better breathability and fit, which allows a more optimal and friendly adaptation to the foot. The Flywire cables are slightly different, as they are exposed, but they allow for a tighter fit, even at high speeds.

On the other hand, these Nike Pegasus 36 feature a more simplified tongue, which makes these Pegasus 36 more moldable, even without offering that certain stiffness. The implementation of Engineered Mesh in the upper incorporates a strategic design, which provides a higher level of breathability, especially in the spots where heat is concentrated. This last detail is noticed and felt in the midfoot and bridge areas of the shoe, which have several perforations.

In addition to the upper improvements, the Pegasus 36 also manages to reduce the weight of the shoe, making it lighter. Once again, one of the best-selling Running shoes once again opts for a more streamlined design with a fit that adapts better and adds more comfort to every stride.

Nike Pegasus 36, the universal all-around running shoe

It should also be noted that these Nike Pegasus 36 will keep that conical heel, which was one of the indications that the great Mo Farah gave to the Nike Running designers when making his ideal running shoe, such as the Nike Pegasus 35.

With all this, and despite the modifications introduced, the Nike Pegasus 36 continues to maintain the philosophy of being a universal running shoe for all types of runners, as well as for all distances, from short races, through speed series, and of course without losing the focus of long distance runs.
