I Put Nike's Most Advanced Consumer Running Shoe, the Zoom Pegasus Turbo, to the Test

As for me, an avid but amateur runner, I'm probably going to save the Turbo for race days to make the most of the technology it offers. I'll be honest: although Nike stresses the Pegasus Turbo's durability, it's going to be hard not to treat them as extra precious, knowing what went into developing them and being aware of their relatively high cost (although it will also be tempting to wear them often in the next few days, before they're available to the general public, to garner some sneakerhead cred I totally don't deserve).

I did wear the shoes for a 10-miler the day after I got back to LA to break them in a bit, and despite my jetlag and general exhaustion, I put in a solid pace and felt strong. If you want to try the Zoom Pegasus Turbo for yourself, you can find them in select stores and on Nike.com now.
