Our Verdict

Nike Pegasus 41

Nike Invincible 3

The Nike Pegasus 41 and the Nike Invincible 3 are both daily trainers, but they cater to different preferences. The Pegasus 41 offers a firmer, more grounded ride with a bit more stability, making it a more traditional daily trainer. It's also marginally lighter. In contrast, the Invincible 3 is more cushioned, bouncier, and more versatile, thanks to its plush ZoomX foam, which makes it a better option for most.
