I have the VF 3, the Inv 3 and the Streakfly, also AF 1 & 2 and have no intention to buy a Peg plus but have the Ultrafly and use them often on my road-to-trail runs.

I have most of the Nike shoes incl currently the ZF5 VF3 AF3 SF Peg41 (been running in Nike since the late 70's) and I decided to try the PP. I found it underwhelming to be honest. Maybe I need to give it more time...I found it was very firm and seemed to be very flat.

.... and I also have the Zegama 1 & 2 which I like , could you do a durometer test on the Zegamas (if you own them - you should as they are ZoomX shoes !!! 😉) and the Ultrafly ... I don't know if it makes sense at the Ultrafly as its midsole is "covered"?

Stephen. As you probably know I don't watch reviews before I make my own and it is always a relief to discover I am not the only person who felt a particular way about a shoe...

Funnily enough I was disappointed by the Ultrafly. It might have been my expectations of some form of lightweight absorbent magic trail carpet...and as I don't run on trail as often as I would like I gave them up, and loved The North Face Vectiv Pro...

I liked this review. Amazing that Nike make some of the best race shoes, but can't make a good daily trainer or tempo trainer.

Yes. Quite intriguing really but there could be all sorts of logistical and marketing dynamics I am unaware of. I am really interested in the projected Streakfly with a carbon plate. Not quite the same thing but should be intriguing...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the current ZoomX lineup. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you weigh? I am over 100kg at the moment, and I am curious about how much of a difference the weight of the runner makes to how a shoe feels and performs.

Glad you enjoyed the video and I don't mind answering about my weight. I weigh 92.4kg/203.lbs as of this morning. My ideal weight would be 78-80kg. I am 172.5cm tall/5'8" tall, otherwise known as, not very. I think the weight of the runner will make a difference, particularly in how much cushioning that might be needed. In the past I have been over 100kg, running occasionally, and when I was, I wore more cushioned shoes. Recently I made a video on the weight of the actual shoe and what difference it makes: kzitem.info/news/bejne/2oiZz4l3jX95m4Y People commented that I should use the same shoe and add weight to the shoe rather than try different weighted shoes. So I bought some weights to make exactly that video. But your comment has given me some ideas as to another video, where I keep the weight the same and add weight to myself. So I will add some weights, do some tests and see how I get on! I am running a marathon next weekend and will be making videos about that for the next couple of weeks, but after that I will make the video.

I think they are a good shoe that you can do daily training miles and do some tempo etc. In other words, it is a performance daily trainer. Nike didn't have a good option for that spot. This kind of completes Nike rotation. I also recycle older racer to training but the outsoles are not designed to last so a more durable performance trainer option has an appeal. That said, Adidas adizero SL2 is the best value for daily miles this year (IMHO).

You are right, this is designed for more miles than a carbon plate shoe, and will be more durable. It's just I wouldn't want to run so many miles in them and as you say there are other and better options

@@OldManRunner so agree with @TolunayOrkun on Nike adding this shoe to complete their training arsenal AND on SL2 being a better value shoe. Ultimately for me, old racing shoes do the job even better. Especially now when I'm running less I don't want to let them sit in the cupboard indefinitely ... so it's been carbon plated easy jog walks and running never felt better 😂🫶

Fabulous video Barry! I loved the idea of comparing all the current versions of zoom x shoes. Amd the way you did it (track, treadmill, durometer) was spot on in my book. Amd the fact that the alphaflys were 33% softer than the pegaaus plus tells me they can't be exactly the same foams.
@OldManRunner
Ай бұрын
Chris. Delighted you enjoyed it...I enjoy making all these tests as it gives me an interest in getting out the door. I am doing some more digging in how the foams are finalised in each shoe...I think a few more shoe sawing sessions might be in order...

Despite the limitations of this review, VERY interesting Barry!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻. For the treadmill, I far prefer my shoes which are too worn out for more than very short road runs, which are too dead or which bottom out too quickly … I find them perfect on the treadmill which works out very well !! 😁

My favourite all rounder is the New Balance SuperComp Elite v4. It is fast, but not too narrow to be unwieldy on training days and reasonably robust for a carbon plate shoe. I have run two marathons in them and they are holding up well. Alex Yee was wearing a pair when he won the Olympic Triathlon in Paris

I really like the Pegasus Plus and I have all versions of the Alphafly (10 in total), the first Vaporfly Next% and the.original Invincible. It reminds me a bit of the Superblast. The upper is very comfortable and is a perfect fit for my foot shape.

Very impressive and useful analysis! Nike still has the best foam in the market (there is at least one formula of zoomx that is their hero product); however they just cant make a good shoe anymore! And people cant stop expecting greatness from them!
