The Pegasus is not designed to knock your socks off or amaze you. If I’m being brutally honest, I was really disappointed with it because it lacked flair but back then, I didn’t know what the Pegasus was all about.

My first experience with the Pegasus was the 30th version, 9 years ago. That’s how good Nike’s marketing is: they’ve managed to make a non-exciting shoe the most popular running shoe in the world. If you think that the Pegasus doesn’t sound like an exciting shoe, you’d be very accurate in your assessment. That’s exactly what the Pegasus is, it’s a running shoe that’s built like a tank and designed for nothing else other than to withstand hundreds of kilometres.

I hope whoever came up with the Pegasus name and coined the term, “your workhorse with wings” got a very, very big bonus.
