T he availability of the ZoomX foam in the Pegasus Turbo is what runners will flock to as the Vaporfly Elite has only hit the market once, when it was priced at 600 dollars and the Vaporfly 4% is released in different colorways in limited quantities sparingly. The main selling point of the Turbo is what is under the hood. Minor changes to the upper material and an updated outsole all change from the Pegasus 35 to the Turbo. The silhouette of the Pegasus Turbo matches that of the Pegasus 35s with the similar appearance, curved heel cuff, and general shell of a shoe. The Air Zoom Pegasus, now in it’s 35th iteration is an annual release daily trainer by Nike that is suitable for every type of run and beloved by beginners and advanced runners alike. To indicate the inspiration of the fast aspect of the Turbo Nike has included a thick racing stripe down the center and also named the shoe Turbo.įrom an inspiration standpoint this new offering is clearly inspired by the namesake Pegasus. The Vaporfly Elite and 4% are the premier marathon racing shoes the Pegasus Turbo is meant for daily training. The first being the plate that sits in the midsole of the Elite and 4% shoes that pop the runner’s foot forward for an aggressive toe off.

The Elites and 4% shoes differ from the Pegasus Turbo in two major ways. ZoomX foam, which is lighter and provides more energy return than other Nike offerings, can only be found in the Vaporfly Elite, Vaporfly 4%, and now the Pegasus Turbo.

Using ZoomX, found in the aforementioned 4%, and React foams, the Pegasus Turbo is the answer to the year long question of where is the daily trainer to compliment the new line of racing shoes debuted in 2017. Inspired by the Vaporfly Elite and 4%, combined with the daily go-to staple Pegasus and using newly released foam, Nike has created the next big exciting shoe release, the Zoom Pegasus Turbo.
