Nike unveiled its latest nearly-$200 performance runner, the Zoom Pegasus Turbo, last month. In August, it will get a more toned-down colorway that fans of subtle shoes should enjoy.
The new Pegasus-on-steroids comes equipped with Nike’s lightest foam — a single men’s size 10 shoe weighs 8.4 ounces while a women’s 8 is 6.9 ounces — ZoomX, which should deliver 85% energy return (the most of any Nike foam to date, according to the brand).
The carbon fiber springplate found in the Zoom VaporFly Elite and 4% ($200+) has been left off of the $180 Zoom Pegasus Turbo. According to Nike, the plate was not included because it added stiffness and propulsion — which is great for race day — but may not be suitable for runners that want everyday use out of the Zoom Pegasus Turbo.
This Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo in ‘Black/Vast Grey/Oil Grey/Gunsmoke’ will release on August 2, according to leaker US11. It will release at retailers like Nike, Foot Locker, and Eastbay alongside several other colorways.
