I just would maybe prefer a slightly thicker layer of cushioning at times. This is not to say that it’s not tolerable. The cushioning is great for the most part but its softness begins to wear away when going long. I found the comfort to be average on long runs. Its very smooth and it can be used for a variety of different runs. One thing that this shoe really has going for it is that it’s versatile. It provides a smooth soft ride that is responsive and never feels too squishy.

The shoe has a smooth responsive ride that meets right in the middle when it comes to cushioning. This type of cushioning is meant to be responsive and from running in the shoe I can definitely agree with that. It is a thin cushioning designed to bring the foot closer to the ground and rebound quickly immediately preparing your shoe for the next footfall.

As we explain in our guide to Nike running shoes, Zoom cushioning is part of the Nike Air family and is designed as a lightweight, durable cushioning. This version of the Pegasus continues the use of Nike zoom cushioning in the midsole.
