UpperĪs mentioned, the real difference between the Pegasus 33 and this 34 version is in the upper.

That said, the Pegasus 34 is not a super-flexible shoe and we know people did mention that the previous model felt a little stiff. The transition feels fast so if you wish to pick the pace up, you’ll be able to with effortlessly in the Pegasus. The inclusion of the Zoom Air heel and forefoot air bags ensures responsive cushioning rather than a big soft cushioned feel. Nike’s Cushlon ST material delivers a smooth riding feel to the shoe. There are shoes with more cushioning in the nike range and elsewhere, there are shoes that are lighter or more responsive, but if you want a shoe that feels as good on a long run as it does on a tempo run, then the Pegasus 34 could be the shoe for you. It’s a neutral, well cushioned and responsive shoe designed for everyday use – that’s the brief, pure and simple.

The Pegasus has been the mainstay of the nike range for decades. They feel great underfoot they are responsive and transition from heel to toe feels fast, just don’t expect the Pegasus to be a soft shoe. The shoe features a full-length midsole foam containing two zoom air bags, one in the front, the other under the heel.

We found them to be snug but not overly tight – just right! This works in tandem with the flywire lacing system and the new flat laces to provide a really well-fitting shoe. The toe box is wider which is an improvement over the 33 and the mesh use seems stretchier.

This upper is much more breathable and the shoe now fits better. It shares many features of the Pegasus 33 but comes with a new and improved upper. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! That seems to be the order of the day with the Nike Air Pegasus 34.
