Our Verdict
Nike Vomero 17
Nike Pegasus 41
The Nike Vomero 17 is like a more premium, built-up Nike Pegasus 41. With more responsive ZoomX foam in its midsole, the Vomero provides more energy return and feels noticeably more cushioned, giving it a softer, plusher feel that makes it a better option for easier paces and longer runs.
