Nike Pegasus 40 Premium Customiser is up 
I’ve like 36, 37 and 38.
Is it time for a minty fresh pair?

I like the look of the pegs but wasn’t a fan of the 37s. I need a trainer/distance shoe to wean myself of the alpha and % as my training shoes.

At parkrun last weekend I could hear a wooshing noise with every step on one side from my tempo next %. Checked afterwards and yes one of the air pods has gone, it’s extremely soft compared to the other one (on the same shoe).
Should they be binned? I guess I’m concerned it could have an impact on the gait, having one half of the shoe so much softer than the other, and also therefore the two feet with effectively different shoes.

You know I like my outrageous bright colours but that colour co-ord is not for me…

Bought in June 2022 and 183km. Other than the popped pod they seem fine and would have loads of life left.
I guess it’s worth a message. Any idea how old your friends were?
Yeah I’d definitely get on to their chat support and have some pictures ready. I’d have thought they’d replace them personally.

@BadAsh yeah worth asking Nike if they would replace. Otherwise maybe pop the otherside. I’ m sure I saw someone do that on a video recently but I can’t remember for what reason 
Race day coming up for me, shall I go with newish pair of Next% 2 (15k) or 4% Flyknit (120k) but from 2019? Will they degrade over time or just from use?

My first pair of Vapor fly’s are at 800 km and now demoted to fast sessions with poor surfaces 
I don’t think they typically age harden so go with whatever feels better. I don’t think 120 km is too high

Apparently they don’t degrade over time.

My 2 pairs of original Next% have finally died so a pair of zoom fly 5 have been ordered. I had a pair of the fly 4 that had very little response compared to the fly 3 so fingers crossed

I’m thinking about sockless again, in the vf2.
Every time I end up with claret all over the shop, but I keep thinking this time will be different.

Why the desire to go sockless? Assuming you’re looking at HIM and Frankfurt? So not under speed/time issues.
Personally I’d much rather be comfy in socks.

Faster transitions. Why can pros run for so long without socks?

Yeah i get that. But is it worth it on a LD if you end up with ruined feet?
Lots of pros were wearing socks at PTO ibiza the other day. I’d go as far as to say most that I saw in transition.
Sprint and oly. Yeah I get it. But what does it take, like 15 secs to put a pair of socks on?

Ali in and out in 34s
The idea is to save time without ruined feet, in Ali all calloused up or something or do his shoes just fit better?
But this is my point. With all due respect, you’re not Ali Brownlee fighting for £100k prize purses.
Max Neumann, the winner of said race. In socks. 
For the sake of 15 secs, would putting a pair of socks on not be a wiser choice? Risk vs. Reward

With respect you’re not following my point; why can Ali and others run a marathon without needing a blood transfusion at the end?
They’ve probably toughened their feet up for it - I guess talc your shoes up and crack on is the only way.
Personally I wear socks in all races, it only takes a few seconds to pop them on

Fair point.
But as Adam says, individual differences and time to toughen the feet for those that can I guess.
I seem to remember one of the Norwegians finishing a race a few years ago when the Nikes were quite new. May have been Vincent Luis as well. Totally shredded feet and bleeding all over the place.
