 And for my first impression of the Peg 36, how did it actually perform? Specs are great, but how did it actually feel on my feet? Here we go, the moment we've all been waiting for, the Nike Pegasus 36. First impression, I have not run indie shoes ever before, so this is my initial gut reaction right now as to how they feel on feet. Let's rock and roll. Here we go. All right. Oh, man. All right. I'm feeling the drop, feeling the drop in the shoe. It's a very comfortable upper. And the fit, I went true to size. It's feeling a little narrow in the heel, but I like that kind of nice, tight fit through the heel and the toe box, no scrunching up there in the toe box. But yeah, just a little, little tight in the heel, which is fine with me. I'll have to examine that heel counter a little bit as we proceed on. All right, let's go get this running. On these first impression vlogs, I always carry my phone with me just to take notes to make sure I don't forget some of the details that are popping out for how this shoe is feeling because it's the first time and I don't want to miss anything. So anyway, I'm going to take a few notes right now, and this will be very helpful for back in the shoe to you. All right, here we go. Let's see. Upper is feeling lighter. All right, got the notes. Let's go. And it's good to be back. Oh, my goodness. So everyone that's new, welcome. Just so you know, I'm coming off of a six week injury where I wasn't able to run for six weeks and I haven't been able to do a first impression or a full review of any running shoe for six weeks. It was breaking my heart. But finally, today was the day to get back into it and, yes, give you my first impressions of the Pegasus 36 keyword for this vlog is Pegasus. And just so everyone knows who's new, I do a keyword for every single vlog. And what happens is people hit up the keyword down in the comments basically to help get the conversation going about the topic for today. And yes, today we're talking about this shoe. Just so you know, this is not my full review of the Pegasus 36. I always put 50 miles, at least 50 miles into a running shoe. Before I give you my full review, I feel like I get a good grasp on how the shoe is performing after 50 miles. So just want to make that clear. And yes, if you like the style and the energy and the goodness and beauty of this vlog, make sure you hit that subscribe button by the end of this video. And my first impressions of the Nike Pegasus 36. So you should first know it's neutral. All right, so everyone out there that needs a stability running shoe. This is not for you. It is pretty loosey-goosey. All right, through that midsole, it's medium cushion. So it's not maximalist and it's not minimalist. Remember, we broke down the differences in that vlog upper right hand corner and it's a road shoe. However, you saw me today running on grass, running on really hard, packed down dirt. It does just fine on the transition between pavement concrete. And I know this because of the Pegasus 35 from last year. But this outsole pattern is actually, I would say, a little on the aggressive side with respect to road running shoes. You could easily take this out on a buffed out trail or a buffed out bike path like I was on today. So no worries there. All right, moving on to this midsole. It's a 10 millimeter drop. So a little higher on the scale as far as daily trainers is concerned. I prefer the six to eight range, but we'll take it. 10 is OK. So it's a 28 millimeter stack height in the heel, 18 millimeter in the forefoot. I would love to see that four foot at 20, which would make the shoe an eight millimeter drop as opposed to 10. But again, we will take it. My size is coming in at eight point three or eight point four ounces. So I think size nine is coming in at about nine point nine ounces in men's. And you should know in grams here it is in grams in my size. There it is on your screen and by far. Now, listen, this is not my comparison video. We're going to do some running shoe battle videos very soon. Now that I am back to running, I'm not going to compare the 36 to the 35 too much tonight, but I do just have to say that the upper has had a pretty big transformation from the Pegasus 35 specifically with the tongue. Oh, my goodness. So the tongue rest is right here. It sits right on the top of your foot. It is much, much, much thinner than the Pegasus 35. You see it there on your screen, which does, I believe, create a little more breathability. However, through right through the top of your foot. However, remember the issues I had with the Nike Vemaro 14? I had pain on the top of my foot. I think the tongue on the Vemaro 14 could be a little longer or taller and also just a little bit more cushion. I'm OK with a little more cushion through that through the tongue of a running shoe. So this tongue on the Pegasus 36 is reminding me a lot of the Vemaro 14. So I'm hoping that after 50 miles, I don't feel any pain through the top of my foot because of a more thin tongue compared to the Pegasus 35. And through the rest of the upper, you're going to see a lot more perforations. In fact, am I pronouncing that correctly? I don't know. But basically a lot more holes through the upper to create again more breathability. And today in Denver, it was the warmest day of the year, 85 degrees so far in 2019. And I felt great with respect, like my feet didn't feel overheated or too warm at all today with this nice, nice update, a much more nimble and lighter upper overall through the toolbox and also just through the midfoot as well. And then I don't know if they change the flywire cables too too much from the Pegasus 35, they look a little longer. Actually, I'm liking them. I think they seem like they're just a little longer and probably a little better material used for those flywire cables for that nice lockdown feel over your midfoot. So good work there, Nike. I think so far so good with those flywire cables. And just so you know, there's recent updates to the Pegasus line up with this full zoom air unit through the midsole. And it felt it felt great today, nice and smooth. But it almost feels a little too bouncy or it needs to break in a little bit. Like my feet almost like there was a bubble underneath my foot, like ever ever so slightly. So that's just a first impression. I'm sure that will go away with more miles in the shoe. But just want to put that out there if it feels a little like bounce is good. But you don't want to feel like you're on a like a bouncy castle. You know what I mean? So anyway, but there is a full zoom air unit from heel to toe in this Nike Pegasus 36. As I already mentioned today, I went true to size and I'm liking it. I'm liking it a lot. So plenty of room for me through the forefoot. But again, I just think that the heel seems a little more narrow than the 35. If I felt it today again, need more time and maybe it's this heel counter. So what is that? That's the area right here in the back of your heel. There's this flare for your Achilles tendon. So your Achilles isn't rubbing on the so the back of the shoe, the heel counter isn't rubbing on your Achilles tendon. It's definitely a little taller than the 35, just so you know. But keep that in mind as you're trying on the Pegasus 36 at running shoe stores. If it feels a little narrow through your heel, you're not imagining it because I felt it today. Keep me posted though down in the comments if you're feeling that a little bit as well and for my first impression of the Peg 36, how did it actually perform? Specs are great, but how did it actually feel on my feet? So a couple of times I had to look down at my feet on the run and remind myself I was in the 36 because it felt very, very familiar, very similar, I should say, to the Pegasus 35, just so you know. So as far as major differences with respect to ride, I didn't feel much at all. Like I had to look down and be like, oh, yeah, OK, I'm in the Pegasus 36. And another first impression real quick is that I think it's going to take 15, 20, 25 miles to really break the shoe in, which kind of surprises me because Nike, I haven't had that experience in too many. Like the turbo definitely not like right out of the box, it was ready to go. But anyway, this guy I can sense it's just going to need a little time out on the roads, out on the the pack down dirt before it's really ready to rock and roll. And how will I use the Pegasus 36 in my running shoe rotation? Just like the Pegasus 35. Yes, I'm going to put it in the easy day or recovery day category. You could use it for a tempo day. You could use it for a long run shoe. But I just think there's there's better options out there for you. It's just going to be perfect for those four to eight mile runs where you're just kind of bopping along, you're just getting miles in, helping those legs recover to get ready for the next day. So that's how I'm going to use it. All right. Again, keyword is Pegasus and question of the day on the scale. So you just got to give a number scale of one to ten. What is your interest in buying this shoe in 2019? All right. So one being not at all and ten being absolutely. I'm going to pick it up. Let us know down in the comments. And if you have time, let us know why as well. All right. Thank you so much for your patience. Once again, over the last 42 days or whatever long it was waiting for another running shoe, first impression and review is just I'm just I'm just floating. I'm so excited that we're back to this and then we can begin to test out many shoes for all of you moving forward. Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching.
