Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2

Possibly one of the sneakers of the American brand that we have liked the most this season, Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2 InRunnea we have had the privilege of being one of the first in Spain to test them, and we can say that the changes they bring with them are focused more on the aesthetic and visual plot than in the materials and technologies applied in the model. And yet, we have loved them.

The original version of the Zoom Pegasus Turbo saw the light in the second half of 2018, being one of the most resounding releases of 2018, so when the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2 is released, we at Runnea will not hesitate to include them in the list of the best Running shoes 2019. From what we have seen in the images, the performance of this second version of the Pegasus Turbo will maintain that line of being a more dynamic model, lighter, faster, obviously, and also with a somewhat wider last, if we compare it with the Nike Pegasus 35.

On a technological level, this second interpretation of the Pegasus Turbo also includes the innovative Zoom X material, which is a more reactive and lighter foam along the entire length of the midsole, which results in a greater energy return, and much more noticeable. The Pegasus Turbo 2 is a very comfortable flying shoe.

Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2, its most important new features

Among the most important novelties of these Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2, the designers of Nike Running have not turned a deaf ear to the complaints of the lovers of this successful and innovative model of the American brand. In this sense, many voices have criticized the wide strip that joined the tongue to the front of the shoe, as if dividing the upper into two parts. This aesthetic resource disappears in this second version.

As the changes are noticeable in the upper, we can no longer appreciate the double mesh with a first transparent layer that allowed us to see the Flywire cables. However, the breathability is more than guaranteed with this renewed Flymesh without seams. Speaking of the Flywire system, the lacing mesh also changes its layout, in that it comes with a thermo-sealed reinforcement, and is presented a little higher, which favors better support and adaptation in the instep area.

It should also be noted that the shoe's forefoot undergoes a very significant change, and just as it happens in the radical change that the Nike Vomero 14 has undergone, the entire collar area has been refined, and not only to lighten the weight of the model, but also because it increases comfort, given that this padding is now internal, and only reinforces the areas where it is needed, and it is needed, below the malleoli of the ankle joint. This also improves the support in this particular area of this mile after mile running shoe .

Strengths to consider in this second update

As a summary and review of this second update of the Nike Pegasus Turbo put the spotlight on the following points:

• Spaced and translucent mesh to make a lighter and sleeker upper.

• Support adapted to fast paces and high speeds, thanks to the inclusion of a band in the midfoot area.

• Midsole with Nike ZoomX foam: This is the lightest material of the American brand to date, and is designed to offer greater energy return, and therefore maximize speed.

• Narrower ankle area design, providing a higher level of comfort to the Achilles tendon.

• Smoother transitions with the inclusion of an angled heel.

The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2 is still a lightweight, responsive and fast training shoe designed for long distance running with the best feel. A model that is also presented as a version of the Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% but with the exception that they are designed for those daily running sessions.
