It managed to slip into the hype culture for a price that's totally a bang for the buck, way way less than the VaporWaffle x Sacai and LD Waffle Sacai. Hype-driven sneakers typically come in limited pairs and at steep prices, but not for the Nike Waffle One that's getting so much attention for its close resemblance to Chitose Abe's Sacai masterpieces. Wearers, who say this shoe is dope, love the hits of authentic suede detailing attached around the upper instead of the widely used felt-like synthetic material. The Nike Waffle One can pass as a high-valued kick Its generic-structured midsole "isn't springy at all." Better check the Nike x Sacai VaporWaffle that offers a combination of soft and firm midsole cushioning to provide an enjoyable amount of bouncy feel.
If you're into bouncy steps, this iteration might not be the one for you. This model has ample toe box room that can accommodate narrow to wide feet.
The shoe is versatile, being comfortable for long easy runs while also being speedy enough to use for fast running, even if more experienced runners will probably prefer to have a more speed-focused shoe for their sessions. The Nike Pegasus 39 was the best Pegasus we’d tested in years, and so the fact the Pegasus 40 sticks closely to that formula is largely a good thing. New colors will be released regularly and you can also design your own Pegasus 40 using the Nike ‘By You’ option. The Pegasus 40 fit us well in our normal size, and is reasonably spacious so should work well for those with wide feet, but that is also the case with the Pegasus 39.Īt the time of writing the men’s Pegasus comes in eight colors and the women’s five colors. Truth be told we didn’t really notice the changes in the upper, though we’ve yet to run in very hot conditions in the shoe where the extra breathability might be welcome.
Nike has also changed the inner lining on the shoe to allow a bit more give in areas like the toes, heel and arch, as well as being more breathable in those areas. Nike has reworked the midfoot of the shoe to use a more traditional lacing system than the ‘Flywire’ loops used on the Pegasus 39. The main changes Nike made to the Pegasus 40 are all in the upper, which is a single layer of mesh with generous padding around the heel and tongue to improve step-in comfort. It’s not a max-cushioned shoe like the Nike Invincible 3 or Asics Gel-Nimbus 25, but has enough foam underfoot to protect the legs on longer runs, while being a bit lighter and nimbler than those max-stack shoes for faster efforts.Īt 10.3oz/292g it’s not a lightweight shoe, and this reduces its appeal for faster training, but it can still handle interval runs and tempo sessions, and the balance of cushioning and weight is good for longer events like marathons if you’re a newer runner yet to dip your toe into the world of carbon plate running shoes like the Nike Vaporfly. With a stack height of 33mm at the heel and a 10mm drop for a stack of 23mm in the forefoot, the Pegasus 40 has a traditional feel to it. It takes a couple of runs for the shoe to break in before you start feeling the pods underfoot, and even once you do the Pegasus 40 is not the most exciting or springy shoe, but the balanced ride works well for runs of different types and it’s also naturally quite stable, because the foam is not very squishy. React foam is pretty comfortable and very durable, but delivers a fairly dull ride, which is why Nike added the Air pods to bring a little more bounce to the Pegasus. The Pegasus 40 uses the same midsole materials as the Pegasus 39, with React foam encasing two Zoom Air units, one under the forefoot and one under the heel.
