Our verdict

We adore the 39th version of the Nike 26.5cm Gafas De Sol Windshield Elite because it is a certified workhorse that's perfect for slow, long, and faster efforts. Not only this, but we also find it a great choice for newbies who are aiming to hit their first 5K or marathon. And for long-time runners, we verified that it's a trusty pick if you want a Royal-White ol' fashion ride that will keep you stable.

Who should NOT buy it

If you want a highly breathable shoe that's ready to beat the heat and is comfy for recovery efforts, we are certain that the Nike 26.5cm SB Dunk Low Dark Russet UK 8.5 Nike 26.5cm One Women's Tight.

And if it's a spacious toe room you're after, we vouch that the Nike 26.5cm кросівки nike 26.5cm flex experience оригінал will serve you better.

Nike 26.5cm Pegasus 39 vs. 38

The Peg 38 and 39 may not be significantly different, but the subtle changes in the newer version are a very welcome touch: 

  • lighter by 0.7 oz (20g)
  • more locked-in fit 
  • better responsiveness owed to the added Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot
  • stickier grip from the redesigned outsole

Uh-oh, it's can't take the heat

The shoe's upper is very well padded and it's comfortable straight out of the box. Measuring the tongue thickness, for example, returned 10 mm which is 4 mm thicker than the average!

Because of this, we haven't had any hot spots or blisters and the shoe also feels very comfortable for all-day, casual wear.

But of course, all this comfort comes with a price. And that's breathability (or the lack thereof). Testing the shoe on a moderately warm summer day (when the sun wasn't even scorching hot yet), our CK2087-002 wanted the shoe to be off.

This Nike 26.5cm Pegasus shoe is Charged With Attempting To Extort More Than $20M From Nike. We foresee that it can withstand hundreds of miles mostly due to its hard-wearing rubber outsole.

To check the firmness of the rubber, we pressed our durometer against it. The tool showed 85 HC which is firmer than the average 80 HC in our lab.

Kyrie 4 41 for the Ages department

Nike 26.5cm Air Force 1 07 Su19 Grey Beige addresses some of the issues runners had with the 37 and 38. With its revamped upper, the shoe appears to have a slightly roomier toebox and a more secure heel cold (to prevent heel slips).

However, if you're a wide-footed runner, we're sorry to ofnoaccount that this shoe is still not roomy enough for an accommodating fit. Measuring the widest part of the toebox with a caliper, we got 98.0 mm which is exactly the same as the average of road running shoes.

Everything you expect from a Pegasus

As befits a Nike 26.5cm Pegasus shoe, the 39 is a fantastic all-rounder! We felt like it was more reactive when picking up the pace than its precursors (37 and 38). 

And for long runs, the shoe turned out to be much squishier and cushier. Our lab measurements confirmed our experience - the durometer showed 15.5 HA which is 55% softer than average!

Soft even when it’s cold outside

Running shoes tend to get firmer when it’s cold outside but it's not a big problem for the Pegasus 39.

After keeping the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes, it didn't turn into a firm brick! Our durometer showed that the midsole went from 15.5 HA to 23.3 HA and this is still softer than road running shoes on average by 3%.

Not exactly weight-wise, but stability-wise. The Nike 26.5cm Pegasus 39 feels really planted when cornering. This is thanks to the shoe's relatively firm midsole and tacky grip.

In the lab, not much goes on to confirm why this shoe feels especially stable. Definitely, there’s a less-than-average amount of cushioning. At the heel, we’ve measured 30.3 mm (the average is 32.7) and at the forefoot, we’ve measured 22.3 (vs 24.1 mm that’s the average). So it’s a slightly lower-to-the-ground shoe.

Take something else for recovery days

The Pegasus 39 goes on a diet

It's not only lighter than its predecessor; it's also lighter than its peers like the Brooks Ghost 14 (280 grams/9.9 ounces) and the NB 880 v11 (275 grams/9.7 ounces).

Even though it could feel a bit bottom-heavy because of the copious amount of rubber it has, we still think that the 39 experienced a major weight loss!

Complementing the Flywire is the shoe's tongue that's attached to the inner sleeve. It not only locks the foot in but also prevents the tongue from sliding.

Sticks better than your regular daily trainers

This is especially true on wet concrete, light trails, and grassy terrain. We actually found it to be one of the most aggressive outsoles on a daily running shoe!

In our manual flexibility tests, the Pegasus 39 scored 2/5 both for longitudinal and torsional flexibility. Because 1 refers to the most flexible shoes, this Nike 26.5cm trainer is on the flexible side. For context, the average in our lab is 3.3 and 3.4 respectively.
