Nike’s Air Zoom Pegasus has just got a speed upgrade via a new model, the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo. The Turbo was inspired by these dominant marathon shoes, employing the same highly responsive ZoomX foam in the midsole and taking on the same aerodynamic shape of the heel. The new running shoe delivers 85 percent energy return, which is the greatest of any Nike foam. It’s also Nike’s lightest foam, it is currently used in three silhouettes – the aforementioned Zoom Vaporfly Elite (which was worn by Breaking2 athletes) and Zoom Vaporfly 4% and now the Zoom Pegasus Turbo.
What foam can do is help to reduce the amount of energy being lost by your shoe every time you compress it by applying force to it (with running this is typically a combination of your stride, pace, and weight). It does this by springing back toward its original shape every time your foot leaves the ground. The closer it can get to its original shape, the more energy transfers back into the foam.
·The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo will be available globally August 2 on nike.com and at select retailers for US $180. Follow us on Twitter for more news and updates.
Great.
