Nike Pegasus 39 vs. Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 (Comparison)
Both models are comfortable and versatile running shoes for daily runs (mid to long).
The Infinity Run 3 is more cushioned with a 34 mm heel stack height versus 28 mm for the Pegasus 38. The feel is firmer on the Pegasus 38, while the bounce is equivalent.
