I’ve bought every release of Pegasus for the last 8 years and these are by far the most comfortable, the cushioning is incredible. I wish Nike could make a lifestyle shoe like the dunk low with the same level of comfort.

Like my 41s better
Steven98dc9eabf01f4ccf96b2b8778b3f4e76
The shoes are well made and comfortable. However I liked the 41s better. These are more squishy. I don't feel like the the color was represented well in the photos. It looked like the entire shoe was navy blue tones but the top blue is an earthy light blue which I'm finding hard to match with other cloths. They fit true to size.
All You Could Want.

Better than expected. Cushioning is perfect. Plenty of room in the toe box. I like it because the cushioning isn’t too plush. But it still feels like you’re walking on marshmallows. Ordered another pair. Better than my Brooks and Hoka.
