I watch the YouTube reviews and listen to The Drop, but the written reviews are truly great. This was a fantastic review, but even more, it was a kind of nostalgia-laced, “state of the running shoe world” piece viewed through the lens of an iconic, pre-pandemic shoe. And the Shakespeare references are the chef’s kiss. Goodbye, Peg Turbo. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

I like mine better than the Peg 41, but maybe not quite as much as the Endorphin Speed 4. The foam is nice and soft but firm enough. I find the cushioning under the ball of my foot fine. I’m very happy with them.

In reply to Dorian Cook. Sold analysis, agree on the heel strike then slap.

I must admit I love the aesthetic of these - takes me back 6 years - like putting a lost pair of slippers on ! The fit is spot-on and flyknit upper upgrade feels light, supportive & secure - really nice. As much as I think Thomas has increasingly sensitive metatarsal fat pads () I'd have to agree that the forefoot lacks cushion though. The Zoom X here is firmer than in other models for sure and the 10mm drop makes it pretty difficult to avoid heel striking - the roll through the stride isn't that smooth either. You heel lands and then SLAP, the forefoot lands which is why there doesn't feel much cushioning up front. I reckon this could be easily solved by lowering the drop 2 or 3mm and increasing the forefoot stack - would make the stride smoother, give more forefoot cushioning and not force you to heel strike Overall I prefer my Nike Streakfly's - they're the best shoes I've had for Donkeys years ! If they had a just a little more support you could use them for everything from track intervals to marathons in my opinion...

Wait, it is called the Pegasus Plus even though the outsole says Pegasus Turbo.?.

Robbie, the Beijing commercial is great but I prefer Nikes ‘96 Atlanta Olympics commercial with Iggy Pop and the Stooges’ “Search and Destroy”. Definitely check it out if you haven’t seen it!

Bummed to hear this. Feel like I’d be in Thomas’s camp on this too. Evolved tastes but such a soft spot for the peg turbo. Still have an unused pair waiting for me. Also, like Robbe, I’ve loved Nike my whole life. I’m an Oregon kid. Live 15 min from Nike NQ. hope Nike steps up soon. I’m still going to wear the alpha fly 1 indefinitely for marathons. Don’t try to tell me there’s a better race shoe.

If these don’t have React foam like the OG turbo, and appear to also have a higher stack height, how are they any different than the Invincibles? This is a bummer
