Number 3 daily trainer of 2024 — successful PEBA-foam daily trainer (formerly Pegasus Turbo). — Kofuzi
A versatile non-plated alternative for neutral runners — works for both workouts and daily runs — but not the responsive speed-shoe its Turbo lineage suggests. Pick the Plus over the 41 if you want versatility and a lighter shoe.
Best for: Neutral-mechanics runners who want one versatile Nike shoe for daily training and workouts and don't need stability features.
The closest thing to a lightweight daily shoe in Nike's current lineup, coming in well under 300g even in UK 11, with a 10mm drop, durable ZX foam, and accommodating fit at an accessible price point.
The lightest and most nimble of the Pegasus lineup and a decent versatile daily offering with a hint of speed, but it carries too much weight to compete with lighter high-stack options from Adidas and Saucony.
Best for: A versatile daily shoe with a hint of speed work
A capable daily trainer with excellent outsole grip and a better upper than the Evo SL, but weighed down by Nike premium pricing and a less lively ride.
Best for: Daily trainer use where grip and upper fit matter more than a wild ride
Best non-race Nike shoe in a long time and a worthy spiritual successor to the Pegasus Turbo: light, fun, full ZoomX, and genuinely versatile across paces.
Best for: Versatile daily trainer for neutral runners who want a ZoomX shoe for daily use, tempo work, and easy efforts without committing to a max-stack racer.
Versatile and exciting daily trainer; price is too high at $180 — better to wait for discount.
A genuine spiritual successor to the Pegasus Turbo with familiar shape and feel; not as big a foam upgrade as paper specs suggest, but still really fun and an exciting Baseline reset for the Turbo lineage.
Best for: Versatile daily trainer for runners who liked the original Pegasus Turbo and want a Nike non-plated shoe for easy days and workouts on road or track.

Reviewers note: Slightly narrow forefoot vs Pegasus 41 but more vertical volume; upper initially felt long until it broke in, then true to size. Need to lace down firmly to keep heel from sliding. Not great for hag deformities (firm heel counter).
