Our Verdict
Nike Pegasus Premium
Nike Vomero Plus
The Nike Pegasus Premium and the Nike Vomero Plus are both designed for comfort-focused daily training, but achieve it differently. The Pegasus Premium uses a triple-layered midsole of ZoomX foam, a Zoom Air pod, and ReactX foam that offers the runner a deep cushioning and a chaotic, fun feel, while the Vomero Plus gives a softer, bouncier, and more responsive ride thanks to its full ZoomX midsole. The Pegasus only provides comfort and soft rebound at lighter loads, making it suitable strictly for easy miles. Whereas the Vomero Plus delivers a muted and more protective ride that works better for moderate efforts, long mileage, and recovery runs.
