 That's right, folks. That's right. P.O. Box 1972. The full address is listed below. I would love to hear from you. Maybe it's a postcard. And listen, I love new communication. Obviously YouTube, Instagram, all social media. Like, I love communicating in the digital world. But hey, I'm not afraid of a little snail mail, you know? It's sometimes it's nice to get a little snail mail. And here's what I'm thinking. I would, I'm on this t-shirt kick in this, you know, just like designing t-shirts. I'm just like, I can't stop thinking about it. So I am thinking if you have an extra small size, small t-shirt from your local high school cross country team, your local track club, Roadrunners Club, I'll give you a big old shout out. If I get one of those t-shirts in the mail, I would just, it'd be so cool to be able to support you guys by basically wearing the shirt on some of my runs. And here in the recording studio, and of course, just give you a big old shout out. So that's what I'm thinking with. P.O. Box, one, nine, seven, two, full address is down below. Okay, first of all, this, I'm holding the Solomon Speed Cross for a shoe that is very different than the Pegasus 35 Turbo. But I bring this shoe up because I almost forgot to do a full review of this shoe. So before 2018 is done, I definitely want to review the Pegasus 35 Turbo for you. Let's roll. And as you know, as we dive into this full review, I am on a running break until January 1st. And so I was unable to run in this shoe today. However, I put the shoes on this morning. I've been walking around in them today, walking around the house in them today, just to remind the legs and the feet what they feel like. And in the last two months, I've worn this shoe more than any other shoe. So I'm very familiar with it. And okay, a couple specs as we dive in 10 millimeter drop heel to toe. So pretty high on the scale. And so if you like a lower drop, this is probably not your shoe. As far as weight goes, nobody on the internet can decide not even Nike really, because I couldn't find it on the Nike website. But nobody can agree upon how much this shoe weighs. I saw seven ounces, I saw nine ounces, they're probably just measuring different size shoes. Bottom line, it is a lightweight shoe. Okay, it's a lightweight shoe. In fact, it feels incredibly similar to yesterday's shoe, the on cloud shoe. This might even be a little lighter. Frankly, I guess it's very lightweight, which is a bonus. It's a good thing. Now, I was traveling for work about two months ago. And I'd never been to the Mall of America in Minnesota. And so I was like, heck, let's go check out the Mall of America with my buddy Joe. And we basically stopped into the Nike store. And I had heard of the shoe. It was on my radar as a shoe to pick up. And sure enough, I got a pair. All right, let's start on the upper of this Nike Pegasus 35 Turbo. It's got this translucent mesh upper. And this upper allows the shoe to breathe really well. So if you live especially like in the winter, your feet could get a little chilly in this. But in the in the warmer temperatures, this guy is going to be money. Now I have not been able to run in this shoe yet in the summertime. I'm excited to do that next summer when it's just really hot out, you know, above 90 degrees, you don't want your feet to get too hot in your shoes compared to like the Solomon Speedcross four where you could not wear that shoe in hot, hot temperatures like it would not be a smart move. But this guy, it's very breathable through the upper. That is a bonus. Also, the translucent upper cuts down on weight. It's it's a completely different upper from the regular Pegasus 35, which is a little more of a fabric feel to it on and this so it has the translucent upper. But in addition, it does have that nice this this turbo has this nice liner right underneath that mesh, that translucent mesh. So you have that sock comfy feel through the upper through the toe box, especially, but very breathable. That's I guess that's my biggest takeaway from the upper. And I love it. Oh, also one last thing on the upper is these flywire cables. I actually do not know maybe you know, I don't know when Nike developed that technology for the flywire cables for the lacing system. I like it. I you know, it does not create pressure points on the top of my foot. I think it allows just a little more of a lockdown feel across the top of your foot. So I'm a I'm a fan of that technology. And I'm trying to think of any other running shoe company that does the flywire system. I can't really think of one. If you know of one, let me know down in the comments. So bonus points, Nike for that upper technology with a flywire cables. And you can get a nice lockdown feel. No issues. I will just say real quick, since we're talking about lockdown, I went, I went true to size for this shoe. Some people are commenting and talking online about maybe you should go a half size up. I don't know if I'd agree with that. I went true to size and I feel great in it. So just putting that out there, I like the true to size fit and through that midsole. This is probably the best part of the shoe. Just calling it right now. The zoom X foam through the midsole, incredibly, incredibly responsive. I don't know if I'd use the word bouncy because I feel like bouncy is a little more connected to rubber. And actually, I ran in a pair of ASICs yesterday, the trail version, and that felt bouncy. And I don't know if I like bouncy over responsive. This zoom X foam through the Nike Pegasus 35 turbo is very, very responsive. And I'm just going to say it, that's my favorite part of the shoe right now is the is this midsole, which after I've just checked, I just what I just went over 100 miles in the shoe. It's just now starting to, I don't want to say breakdown. And that's a little too strong of a word, but compress the zoom X foam just a little bit through the midsole. Is it major? No, I don't think so. I think I can at least get a couple of 100 more miles out of this foam. Of course, the responsiveness will slowly decrease over time. But no major breakdown through the midsole yet, just after 100 miles, very, oh, that midsole is like, it's, oh, how do you describe it? Ladies and gentlemen, how do you describe it? It's, it's the combination of, yeah, lightweight and you've seen me do the workouts in this shoe. And that's why I've done workouts in this shoe, like mile repeats. One last point on the midsole is through the heel here. It basically crests into this peak at the end of the shoe, this bevel at the end of the shoe with through for the midsole. And I've read that the idea behind this point through the heel is that it provides a little more of a pocket for your heel to sit in, which yeah, I don't know, I guess I'd agree with, I guess I'd agree with. And then on the outsole after 100 miles, not, and that's the bottom of the shoe. I'm not seeing any crazy wear and tear. I have heard reports of people having some wear and tear on the outside of the heel. If you strike in that way that it, it's breaking down for them. I'm not experiencing that after 100 miles. You've got the react foam here through the midfoot. And then this carbon, they're calling it a carbon rubber. Not sure what that is, Nike, but through the forefoot in the heel area, the higher impact areas on the outsole. And basically that provides a little more support to the zoom X foam through the midsole. I'm a guys, I know complaints on the outsole. Nice, nice ride through the outsole. So no major points there. I'm going to stop on the outsole. Are we okay with that? We okay with that you too? So when I first got this shoe, I took it out for a slow eight miles. I distinctly remember that like I was going, you know, maybe eight 30 nine minute pace. And I did not like it. Didn't like the turbo at that speed. Then I was like, Oh boy, I even made a vlog, like did I make a mistake buying this shoe for, you know, I thought I had made a mistake. Then I was like, Okay, this is a faster shoe for sure. So I've taken it out for tempo runs. I've taken it out for long distance 22 mile dirt road runs. Okay. I've taken it out for mile repeat runs at night when it's dark and cold. I've put this shoe through a lot of different scenarios. And it definitely like, when would I use this shoe moving forward 10 to 15 mile fast tempo runs? Okay, or eight to 15 miles approximately for the long run. I am leaning more in the direction of the Vemero 14. I love the Vemero 14 for a little more stability, little more support for those long runs. And for me, that's like 20 miles and above. This guy though, is that tempo run. I've even done, I believe I did a track workout in this thing just to see how it would respond on the track. I think it did pretty good. But bottom line, that is when I would use the shoe and when, like if you and you just got to think about this, if you're getting ready for a marathon, like I would not race a marathon in the turbo, but it could be done. It could be done if you're looking for a little more support for a marathon race and you don't want to completely beat your body up. You can find lighter options out there for a racer shoe for a marathon. But if you're getting ready for a marathon and you want like your second to last or your last just like fast paced tempo run, just to get your leg turnover going. Oh, that's where this shoe will come in handy. And that's where I'm excited as I prepare for my first marathon in 2019. That's where I will use this Nike Pegasus 35 turbo. Good for speed. And just a couple more points. Oh folks, $180. Is it worth $180? No, no, it is not. It is not worth $180. Guys, this shoe would be crushing everybody as far as the the other running shoe companies. If this was priced at $145, maybe $150. Now I realize like you can get the Pegasus 35 for, well, pretty cheap now, but you know, it started out around $130. This guy, it's just like, is it worth $60 more to go from the Pegasus 35 to the turbo? In my opinion, it is not. It's an incredible shoe, incredible shoe. I love it. But as far as value goes, you might just honestly, frankly, just wait till 2019, spring 2019, and I believe the price will begin to come down. So for the spring marathons, summer marathons, maybe just wait like three or four months and hopefully you'll start to see this price come down as they I'm guessing are developing the next turbo. Does that make sense? So I would, I would, I would just be patient, be patient in purchasing the shoe and my score and my score for the Pegasus 35 turbo, eight and a half, eight and a half. That's good. That's a good score in my books, eight and a half out of 10, by the way, of course. So that is my score for the Pegasus 35 turbo. And the question of the day, what is the running shoe of the year 2018 for you, YouTube? What is your favorite shoe that was released in 2018? Let me know down in the comments, is this your running shoe of the year, the turbo? I'm not going to skew your opinion. I'm not going to tell you my favorite running shoe that's coming up soon later next week. But that is the question of the day. I'm excited to see your answers. Like, think of all the running shoes out there, all of the ones you've purchased and you've put miles into what is your favorite running shoe from 2018? Let us know down in the comments. And of course, the keyword is 2018. It's actually a number, but hey, that works. And I love you guys. That is today's vlog. Thanks for watching me review this turbo, even though I was not able to run in it today, I've put so many miles into it with different scenarios where the camera was rolling. So I hope you were fairly entertained watching all that B roll. So I love you guys. Thanks for being here. I think this is vlog 997. So we're getting closer to that 1000. It's incredible. Seek beauty, work hard.
