I am an avid runner and triathlete and have been running exclusively on nike air pegasus, wide for several years. My brother purchased these in my usual size and wide width for a birthday present and sent them to me. Worst present ever, although he tried hard and is a great guy. The new "air pegasus" has a completely different shape, heal, upper, and the wide is super super narrow. putting my old pairs next to the new pair of the same size looks like a wide adult shoe next to a narrow child's shoe. Ok, maybe not quite that bad but the difference in width is striking if you take a picture, and squishing my foot in what used to be a wonderful roomy comfy shoe is strikingly disappointing. This used to be my very favorite running shoe and now is not a shoe I can run in at all. I could walk, but it would hurt my foot. In all fairness this might be a great shoe for someone with a different size foot, although the materials look a bit cheeper and feel less comfy to me. On the upside if you could get your foot in it will likely be lighter because its so much smaller. Unless I received a fake shoe or a factory defect and I doubt it because it looks like the picture, nike has really really made a big mistake with what used to be one of their only solid shoes for people with wide feet. Bottom line: this is not an Air Pegasus. Its a new shoe with a different size, shape, material, and fit. It might be ok, possibly even good but not great like the real air pegasus which seems to have been discontinued.
