While the Pegasus 38 is a very good shoe, the changes means it’s not drastically better than its predecessor, especially with the 37 likely to be reduced in price, and unless you’re all-in on the swoosh I recommend the Puma Velocity Nitro over both.īuy men’s from Nike (opens in new tab) | Buy women’s from Nike (opens in new tab) | £104.A college's primary shade can be found on the forefoot and the other on the heel. The Launch is a bit of a throwback, with no fancy tech or exciting foams used, but it gets the job done and can often be found well below £100 price in sales. The Velocity Nitro is my top pick around the £100 mark, but there is also the Brooks Launch 8 for £100, which is lighter still and has a firmer ride than both the Puma and the Pegasus. The shoe is lighter, the midsole is a little softer and springier so the shoe performs better when running at speed, and the PUMAGRIP outsole grips like a vice. It’s £100 and does pretty much everything the Pegasus does, but slightly better. Most notably, Puma has launched a range of great running shoes in 2021 and the Puma Velocity Nitro is the pick of the bunch. However, the biggest change between the launch of the Pegasus 37 and 38 is in the competition. However, because of the limited changes, I’d strongly suggest looking for a deal on the lighter 37 rather than paying full whack for the 38, unless you’re really keen on the extra comfort of the redesigned upper. It’s a great-value option for experienced runners looking for a workhorse to handle their base training and beginners looking for an all-rounder. Like its predecessor, the Pegasus 38 is a very accomplished all-round running shoe.

The underfoot feel is the same, with the sizeable stack of Nike’s React foam providing a comfortable but not excessively soft ride, with enough responsiveness to make the Pegasus a solid shoe for faster training runs as well as all your easy efforts.
