Nike Pegasus 2005


My last Nike footwear related post - I assure you! Those of you who read Running Fitness magazine will already know this, but the new Nike Pegasus & Elite's integrate some 'Free' technology. In the case of the Pegasus 2005, a longitudinal groove is integrated, to allow greater decoupling of the heel (all works on the false assumption that heel striking is ideal, but hey!). In the case of the Elite, a more dynamic/natural medial posting & mid-foot support system are present. But why repeat other people's articles when you can put your own idea on digital paper? My question is, why have Nike restyled the Pegasus 2005 so radically? Specifically I'm talking about the 'street-style' upper & the 'bad-boy' visible air unit in the heel (shown below)...



It looks more like one of their patent-pending 'Ghetto-Pumps'. Furthermore that air unit is just a puncture waiting to happen as far as runners are concerned. In addition to this, when on God's good earth did Nike integrate 'Max-Air' cushioning into the 'Peg'? This has to be the company's most unsuccessful cushioning system as far as the running demographic is concerned, due to its extreme weight & lack of responsiveness, thus integrating it into their flagship running shoe is an act of lunacy! I wont comment on the Elite, as I'm no au fait with support shoes to be entirely honest.

Maybe an informed reader could offer comments on the revamp of this particular shoe?
