Shoe Reviews

The most famous daily trainer of them all, the Nike Pegasus, is back with their 36th edition. For those who loved the Peg 35 then you can rejoice, as the 36 has only some very minor tweaks.

Before being contacted by Under Armour I had never worn or touched an UA product. I knew they made shoes, but I figured they weren’t any good. Then when Luke Mathews signed with the Baltimore-based brand, I figured ok, maybe they are worth a shot. Good on them at least for supporting one of our best middle-distance runners.

This next instalment of the Pegasus, Nike’s bestselling running shoe, sees an update to the upper that improve comfort and fit, a slimmer design in the heel collar and tongue reduce bulk for a more conforming fit, along with added perforations on the upper enhance breathability in the forefoot and arch for additional cooling. Also, a new stand out with an engineered mesh upper strategically targeting breathability across high-heat areas.

Nike are the kings at marketing, among other things. And few shoes exemplify this more than the Infinity React. Nike’s marketing machine had people spinning with talk about injury risk reduction. They cited an external study by the British Columbia Sports Medicine Research Foundation (BCSMRF) on 226 runners using the Nike React Infinity Run as well as the Nike Structure 22. It indicated that runners using the former had a 52% lower injury rate. It’s an area in which more research is required. So, is this all complete BS, or are the shoes legit?
