 Good afternoon YouTube good afternoon. Okay tip of the day right off the top keep a snack in the trunk of your car Like just always have snacks in your car. We get hungry as runners We're always burning calories all the time And so I like to keep these kind granola bars in my trunk of my car Just a nice little snack to take the edge off right after a run right before a run Anyway, let's go. All right folks. We got the thumbnail looking good. It's it's an art And I've tweeted this out a couple days ago. It is more difficult now To take a good thumbnail versus filming an entire vlog for YouTube. It's just crazy So I'm glad I got that done and by the way shout out to Jeff and everybody else who's asking about this coat Stay tuned. It's it's it was 58 degrees in Denver today. It's a little cooler now, but it was warm It's really not winter weather right now So I don't again feel comfortable giving you my thoughts on this coat because it's too warm out Like it's just too nice to really put it through the paces for you guys, but stay tuned be patient I'm hoping for a snowstorm in the next 10 days. Hopefully. Hopefully. All right I'm fading fast guys. No I doing so good. It's like a stomach bug. That's just sweeping through the family. Oh Man, but I like to I don't know for me like milk settles my stomach pretty well I know some people drink sprites or ginger ale like that can help actually that sounds pretty good, too Anyway, I'm gonna go in and get some milk. Maybe some ginger ale just to try and settle the stomach just a little bit. Oh Not good folks Got the goods got the goods ladies and gentlemen Just trying to heed your advice heed your advice drinking green tea. Oh Keeping those fluids up. Okay, it's always a great day when a running book shows up at your front door, right? Uh-huh running the Lideard way. I've read other books about Arthur Lideard Who we're gonna talk a lot about really soon as we all prepare for training in 2019 So I'm excited to dig into this Yeah, oh Today we're just gonna focus on these three Nike shoes and the whole idea behind this video is to just help you runners discern Where you should put your your dollars your hard-earned dollars because I know like running shoes are expensive And there's a lot of options out there and a lot of options in the Nike lineup, okay? So today we've got the Pegasus 35 the Pegasus 35 turbo and the Vamero 14 Now the other options out there you've got the Odyssey react the zoom fly the structure There's a lot of Nike shoes. We're not gonna cover those today We're just gonna focus on these three that you see right here and let's dive in by the way I'm not going to go into all the specs behind each shoe instead I'm gonna more you guys have watched me if you've been watching this channel for a long time you've watched me running these shoes a lot over the last month and Basically, I'm gonna talk to you more from Experience rather than let's say all of the specs behind the shoe like just how the shoes feel underfoot The ground contact how would how the lockdown system feels between the different shoes So that's that's the approach. I'm gonna take today I want to start here when talking about these three shoes the Pegasus 35 the Pegasus 35 turbo and the Vamero 14 The Vamero 14 is nothing like the old Vamero's Okay, so if you like the old Vamero's you may want to think twice about getting this shoe because they completely Redesigned the upper the midsole and the outsole of this Vamero shoe it now And this is really important if you are a fan of the Pegasus 35 and the Pegasus 35 turbo These three shoes now have a very I think have a very similar feel And again, this is based on running in them over the past month They have all they all have a similar feel for that underfoot and ground contact And so I think this beveled edge is really contributing to these three shoes having a similar feel on Through the midsole as far as weight goes the Vamero 14 definitely the heaviest and the lightest is the turbo One thing I do want to point out is that I'm not a huge fan of the Pegasus 35 upper I think it's a little too. It's collapsing in on itself too quickly. I just don't love the feel. I like a little more Structure to my upper. It just it feels more like a Cross-training shoe. I'm gonna come back to that in a minute as far as through the upper It's just yeah, it feels like it's collapsing in on my toes too much Whereas these two the Vamero 14 and the Pegasus 35 like no complaints about the uppers Just very very comfortable And I feel like they're structured and engineered a little better which of course that leads in and I got I want to mention This to the price point you're gonna pay a lot more for the Vamero 14 and the turbo compared to this guy So as far as value goes $80 right now the Pegasus 35 that's what I'm seeing on different websites is about For the that's a pretty smoking deal. Okay, whereas the turbo, you know depending on where you're looking But you can pay as much as a hundred and eighty dollars for the turbo and then about a hundred and forty dollars for the Vamero 14 So turbo most expensive Vamero 14 right in the middle at a hundred and forty and then eighty dollars So the cheapest is the Pegasus 35 after running in these shoes over the past month This is what I'm gonna use the shoes for moving forward And you may not like what I'm gonna use the Pegasus 35 for moving forward. I'm gonna use this shoe for Cross training and lifting in the gym. I'm probably not gonna use it for running now It's a good shoe for running But I think this shoe falls into more of the easy recovery day category Which if I had to make a decision for where to put my dollars moving forward I would lean toward a new balance beacon over the Pegasus 35. All right That's what I'm gonna use this Pegasus 35 for moving forward for the Vamero 14 What am I gonna use this shoe for eight to 15 mile runs? I'm not gonna use this shoe for my long runs Okay, it's a little little too heavy for long runs but for that just that daily trainer this shoe is gonna crush it and Guys, I'm telling you. Well, I'm gonna come back to this in a second. What oh pretty excited about the shoe Okay, and then the turbo in 2019 moving forward as I prepare for a marathon This turbo is gonna be my long run shoe. It's gonna be my long run shoe I've just decided like for the 20 mile long runs 22 mile long runs. This is the guy I just the weight is amazing and it just has that perfect ride for those long runs in my opinion now I may also use it for a tempo day because it is so lightweight But most likely I will focus this shoe for the long run All right the moment you've been waiting for if I could only purchase one of these shoes moving forward Which would it be? Which would it be? Keep in mind I'm factoring in the the overall ride the durability the price point the weight Yeah, just like the overall feel of the upper all of these different factors The Vamaro 14. Yes, it beats out the Pegasus 35 and the turbo and I love the turbo, but guys I'm telling you Now coming out of the box. I was pretty concerned about the volume of the Vamaro 14 It's just got a lot of shoe behind it and I'm not a huge guy And so I was like oh gosh, this is gonna be way too much shoe for me But it's it feels very secure when you're running meaning the landing area On the outsole is is I would say pretty wide compared to these the Pegasus 35 and the turbo So I I never feel unstable when running in the shoe One little drawback though I do just have to mention is the tongue of the shoe is just a little short It's like if Nike if you could just make this Vamaro 14 tongue Maybe lay a quarter inch or a half an inch taller Because you can't really pull on it to get that secure like snug fit that you want through the upper Anyway, that's something I've noticed like it's a very strange Height to the tongue and maybe they were doing it to try and save a little weight But it's like the shoes heavy already So might as well just add a little more weight and so anyway That's my only critique really of almost the entire shoe is the tongue could just be a little bit taller Nike I mean could we do that Nike could we do that Nike and the keyword yes is heavy because yes the Vamaro 14 It's a little heavy and that's okay. Listen. Will I wear it for 20 mile long runs? No, I won't you know I'll go to the turbo, but I'm telling you guys like it's not bad like the weight is okay So that's the keyword and the question of the day What will be the next Nike shoe that you will purchase and listen I know there are a few people out there that are not fan not fans of Nike at all and I get it They're kind of you know, they're the big brother They're the you know, the biggest shoe company in the world and I get it like some people are Nike fans Some people are not but if you are a Nike fan, what will be the next Nike shoe that you purchase? And let me know why like what's what's your strategy for the Nike lineup because there's so many options out there in conclusion I Am bullish on this Vamaro 14. I really am I would definitely go with this guy over the Pegasus 35 I think the build quality is better. I durability is definitely gonna be better. Like it's it's got a lot of night I think you could get four to five hundred miles out of that Vamaro 14 No joke I don't know yet because I haven't put those miles in but stay tuned for that And then of course the turbo like it's in another class of its own with respect to weight and price So it's a great shoe, but it's a hundred and eighty dollars and oh Man, I just don't know. I think if you're looking for that just that daily trainer I would lean in the direction of the Vamaro 14. That's why it's up here on top. All right. All right Thank you for watching. Thank you for bearing with me on this fine day Even though I'm a little sick and well, we're gonna get through this together, right? We're gonna get through this together Whoo see beauty work hard love each other. Mmm. Come on now. Oh, yeah, drop that comment with Nike What Nike gonna get next?
