Upon initial wear, I was obsessed with this shoe. It is really comfortable from the first moment you put your foot in. This Nike sneaker runs a little on the big size; I have other
Nike shoes and this one leaves about a 1/2 inch room in the toe, while the others are a more snug fit. I could still comfortably wear them, but after a couple hours the side
heal started to press into my ankle bone, which was not comfortable. Though the shoe has decent tracking for pavement, it does not have good agility on grass/trail/off road

This is the first pair of Pegasus I have worn.The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 are such a wonderful pair of shoes, easy to put on, durable, and comfortable. They are made with a
nice light wight top and a supportive underfoot cushioning. Not to mention the double Zoom Air units that allow for more dynamic step. The all-white color combination allows
me to wear these shoes with anything and everything I want. I can be as vibrant as I want. Features I love about these shoes are the "V" shaped heal which optimizes landing

They have such a neutral and classy look, and are so comfortable I can (and do) wear them everywhere.If you want comfort, support, CUSHION, style, breathability, durability, and a shoe you will seriously never want to take off - I can't recommend the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 enough.

Overall, this is a good sneaker. It’s not my favorite by Nike, but it’s a solid shoe. I prefer a sleeker design, as my ankles are super skinny, and this sneaker is a bit bulkier, but I absolutely love the color! I have the CargoKhaki and it’s such a good green. Depending on your needs, I would recommend this shoe; it’s a good everyday sneaker.

I have worn the Pegasus 83/30 and I am able to tell the Pegasus name will continue to grow and get better. They are a wonderful pair of shoes that I will continue to wear until I can't no more.Thank you for the opportunity to review these shoes.

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 has a very modern stylish look. This silhouette keeps up with modern times with its stunning design and comfort. This shoe has gone a long way from its previous predecessor and I, being a fan of the Pegasus line, can say they keep getting better. The shoe itself feels like a cloud on your feet, exceptionally light and durable for any occasion whether it be a simple jog or gym day. As for the fit, the quality is spot on nothing like having a lightweight shoe that can tackle anything in its path. The design of the Pegasus 39 is like no other, amazingly easy to put on and take off, which is a plus after an afternoon jog.

What I liked most about the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is the underfoot cushion truly felt like pillows on my feet. The only thing I would change is the wideness of this shoe, I felt like the shoe was a bit wide for my taste other than that I had a blast trying them!

1. Fit & FeelThe shoe fits perfectly. I like the fact that the outer layer is thick enough to cushion impacts while doing activities. With the cushion effect, it feels amazing. I will discuss more on how it feels when I talk about product design.2. DesignIt's a white shoe, so it's as clean as it gets. However, the whole design of the shoe definitely matches the white color, being simple, yet catchy. I love how Nike swoosh is designed different from inner parts to outer parts.When it comes to product design, I have a lot of positives to talk about. First, the V-shaped tongue feels amazing. Even with a very thin tongue, if it's U-shaped, it can be irritating since the tongue is always going to hit your legs when you walk. But, this V-shaped tongue did not ... More1.

However, the whole design of the shoe definitely matches the white color, being simple, yet catchy. I love how Nike swoosh is designed different from inner parts to outer parts.When it comes to product design, I have a lot of positives to talk about. First, the V-shaped tongue feels amazing. Even with a very thin tongue, if it's U-shaped, it can be irritating since the tongue is always going to hit your legs when you walk. But, this V-shaped tongue did not irritate me at all while exercising and it feels perfectly shaped to touch your legs in a way that does not irritate. Maybe the thick tongue adds more cushion, but I believe if the tongue was U-shaped, it would have been more irritating due to the thickness of the tongue.Also, the heel part of the midsole felt much better than when I used to wear Zoom Fly Mercurial. They both have similar heel midsole part where it extends a little more on the back to support my heels while running. While Zoom Fly Mercurial's back heel midsole part always felt a little off and weird, Air Zoom Pegasus 39's back heel midsole part felt amazing. It supported my heels very well and the extended part never felt weird, unlike Mercurial.Lastly, the eyelets... These eyelets feel like a must with these type of flat laces. Simply, they do not tangle no matter how strong you treat your laces while tying them.3. Comfort level for wearing all-dayYes, yes, and yes. As I've mentioned previously, the product design seems impeccable and all-day wearing is definitely comfortable. I once returned home from wearing the Pegasus 39s all-day and I could have definitely felt the difference in the conditions of my feet where they felt way less tired.4. My favorite feature & change recommendationMy favorite feature of the shoe is definitely product design. If I had to change anything, maybe the length of the shoe laces? I used all of the eyelets to lace my shoes, even though I kind of wanted to leave the top eyelet empty. I tried doing it, but the bowtie I made afterwards seemed way too big (which means laces are too long) so I decided to use the top eyelet. Even after using the top eyelet, the laces seemed more than long enough for me to make a good bowtie, so maybe shorter laces would give more choices for people to lace their Pegasus 39s.PS. I originally had photos added to my review, but some error occurred, so re-submitting without the photos.

I bought these sneakers a little over a year ago and don’t really care for them. I’d never owned a pair of Pegasus prior to purchasing these, but knew of their reputation in the Nike runner world and decided to try them out. I wear a size 8 in women (Nike no longer has the women’s Pegasus 39 posted) and the sneakers just felt too heavy on my feet during my long runs. Also, no ventilation and I found my feet would get really hot on runs. I tried to give myself some time with them, in hopes of adjusting and maybe growing to like them, but they are just not doing it for me. I DREAD putting them on :(I bounce between the Pegasus and an old pair of Lunarglides that I LOVE! So disappointed to find out Nike stopped producing the Lunarglide. I would not purchase another ...

I’ve owned other Pegs, and these are my favorite. They have a lot of improvements over other generations.The shoe feels very comfortable and high-end. I don’t see any loose ends or any design issues. It fits snug, but right on for a typical Nike fit. I have wide feet but a half-size up and I’m loving these shoes.The design is great. There are reflective aspects to the shoe for night/morning runs, and the shoe looks better than other versions. Specifically, some newer versions poked out in the back a bit and this heel is tapered more than others (a huge plus for me). Also, the sole connection with the shoe feels more solid and the styling is great. I really like this design.The shoe is definitely comfortable, I wore them 16 hours straight right out of the box ...

The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is a shoe that, while not particularly extraordinary in any way, does little wrong. The upper primarily consists of a nice, soft mesh that allows for an accommodating fit suited to many foot types. The heel liner is well cushioned and has just enough grip to reduce heel slippage while not being bothersome. Underfoot cushioning in this shoe feels fairly standard, which is a bit of a shame considering the inclusion of Air Zoom units in the midsole that ultimately seem to add very little to the experience of wearing it. That is to say, if “Air Zoom” was not in the name of the shoe, I never would have guessed the technology was included, so if you are someone looking to try out Zoom units, this is not the shoe to do it with.

That is to say, if “Air Zoom” was not in the name of the shoe, I never would have guessed the technology was included, so if you are someone looking to try out Zoom units, this is not the shoe to do it with. Having used this shoe to warm up for soccer, the integration of Flywire support cables into the lacing system in order to improve lateral stability is much appreciated due to the sheer amount of sideways movement involved in the sport. Additionally, the outsole being fully covered in rubber makes for both good traction on numerous surfaces and improved durability as opposed to having exposed foam. Being a shoe of fairly conventional construction, the Pegasus 39 is very easy to put on and take off, making it suitable for long term wear or even as a shoe to switch into after a game.Aesthetically, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is a reflection of its functionality: simple, but effective. The silhouette is quite typical for a running shoe, but the mesh upper boasts pleasing line and grid patterns, which combine well with the label fonts and protruding Nike Swooshes on either side of the shoe to create a “high tech” look that lends itself well to many color combinations. This specific colorway, being white and gray, actually hides a lot of the intricacies and details present in the shoes, providing a much simpler appearance than other available options for the Pegasus 39. Though it looks good enough when new, white mesh gets dirty very easily and is nearly impossible to completely clean, so I would steer clear of this or any other predominantly white colorway if long term looks are a major concern.Overall, the Air Zoom Pegasus 39 is a shoe that can best be described as safe. There is nothing about it that will blow you away, but it is highly unlikely to let you down. If you want something that is easy to style for casual wear or a shoe that requires little to no break in for more rigorous uses, then this is a shoe that I can undoubtedly recommend.

My shoe size is a solid 8 on the narrower side of normal and these fit perfectly. If you have a wider foot a different size might work out better for you. The color really can't be beat. It's a darkish army green and has transitioned me perfectly from winter to spring.My much more fashionable and younger step daughter tried to snatch them from me...but her foot is bigger than mine so I guess I'll have to grab her a pair of her own.

The Nike Air zoom Pegasus 39 is without a doubt one of the best pair of running shoes you can find today. Admittedly I have been fond of the Pegasus line for 10 years now, was even professionally sized and fitted for running sneakers and was pointed directly to the Pegasus 29 in the lovely Volt colorway. That model was so durable I didn’t need to buy running shoes until now, and was extremely excited to see how the technology has advanced since. The Air Zoom Pegasus 39 features two of Nike’s Air Zoom units in the heel and forefoot, and after wearing them myself I was surprised it wasn’t a full cohesive unit based off of how supportive it feels with each part of your step!

The Air Zoom Pegasus 39 features two of Nike’s Air Zoom units in the heel and forefoot, and after wearing them myself I was surprised it wasn’t a full cohesive unit based off of how supportive it feels with each part of your step! I have a couple different Nike Basketball models with full length strips of Zoom and the Pegasus 39s easily feel the most responsive in terms of controlled shock absorption and energy return in your stride. The best part were the days I had to drag myself to my treadmill, I’d be in an awful mood not wanting to start my run, take my first steps with my Pegasuses and immediately remember how light and bouncy the shoes are, making my run a joy instead of a chore! I even found myself extending my times, wanting to keep going when I’d normally call it a day. The one drawback I could find was the back collar, as padded and soft as they feel, seem to be lower than I’d like on my ankle. This is a personal preference of liking a shoe that rides up slightly higher so my foot feels a bit more confined and less like the shoe is at risk of sliding off, but I still have to stress it’s barely a problem. To top off the wonderful running sneaker, you have the comfortable Flywire material that feels supportive yet sock-like, conforming nicely to any foot. Which brings me to the best added bonus! These shoes being offered in 4E for wider feet like myself. I often end up having to size up and then dealing with shoes too long, but this time Nike hit the spot! I can fit in my desired size without feeling squeezed in and rubbing up against the sides of the material! Overall amazing shoe that brings back my passion for running and staying on my feet!
