Nike Pegasus 39 vs. Invincible Run 2 (2022 Comparison): Which One?
Both shoes are comfortable and versatile running shoes for daily training.
While weighing about the same, the Invincible Run has a higher stack with a 37 mm heel height versus 28 mm for the Pegasus. Thus, the Invincible Run is more cushioned. Also, the density of the sole is lower, which gives a softer underfoot feel. It’s also much more responsive, according to the testers. Be careful, though: for all its advantages, the Invincible is not always very stable.
Finally, for the same quality, the Pegasus is much less expensive.
So, the choice depends, above all, on your preferences. If you are a beginner, we recommend the Pegasus, which is more stable and suitable for the vast majority of runners. The Invincible Run is primarily for runners who are looking for soft, maximalist, and bouncy cushioning.
