This is a great looking shoe. Understated. Confidently retro and simple. Long tongue and lace-up offers a custom and snug fit. Toe box is a little narrow but would probably break in nicely for a normal D width. One flaw with this shoe is the thin outsole thickness at the toes. Look at the white foam from the side in the photos and you'll notice it tapers down to a sharp point at the front. When you roll forward to push off during stride your big toes feel as if there's very little between you and the ground. Only the thin rubber there. That's a concern for foot health and posture and stride as well as wear and longevity of the shoe. Great looking shoe but the outsole needs to be improved for this shoe to be a true winner.

I bought they grey version and really like these shows so far. I've had them for about 3 months now and they are very comfortable to walk in, but also are stylish as well. I wear them with nice jeans and also with athletic gear and they seem to go well in either scenario.

1. Go ahead and order a half size larger. Just do it. 2. I love the looks of these shoes and had worn nothing but Onitsukas for almost 10 years and was in need of a change of pace. 3. Feel comfortable enough to me but I wouldn't compare the comfort to more modern Nike shoes. Still comfortable though. 4. The speckled white and grey on the soles is more noticeable in real-life.

These are not the same as the more expensive Pegasus. They are tighter and narrower. They say "Air" on the back, but the soles do not seem as light or springy as the better ones. They also weigh 11.2 oz each where my better ones are 10.2 oz each (although that's after several months, so an oz of tread may have worn off). However, I'm giving them a try and they may be fine at the reduced cost.

Great throwback look. Exactly what I wanted. Probably okay for running, but I would rather have newer technology. Great for walking. The only issue I have is the laces seem a little short? Not much to complain about with these classic Nikes.

Not the most minimal or stylish shoe out there, but it is casual enough to be versatile, and it offers incredible insole support and a fantastic fit. Shoe feels comfortable right out the box and doesn't need a break-in period. Sole is sturdy yet properly flexible. Comfortable toe-box and able to fit snugly around the ankle.

These shoes are great looking. FYI - they seem to run a bit on the small side. Great service from Zappos, as usual.

When the order came I felt I needed a 1/2 larger. So at 5pm I called customer service and asked for return postage (which was free) and a new size shoe. I got the email with return postage in 10 minutes and the new shoes the next day at 2pm. Unbelievable...this was awesome.

These are nice shoes. They have a comfortable fit. I like the retro look. They are relatively low priced for Nikes. I use them for weight lifting and daily shoes.

Very comfortable throw-back style shoes. I had to order a half size up to fit perfectly, but they're my favorite casual shoes to wear. Definitely recommended by me.

These sneakers are great! Super stylish with a bit of an understated retro feel. I'm not sure why people are saying they run small as I am usually a women's 7.5-8 and the 7.5 fits perfectly. I have rather wide(ish) feet and the width is just fine. They feel very durable and seem very well made. Although I wouldn't wear them for running, I've been wearing them every day to and from work and on the weekends and they have provided great support. Also a plus that they didn't need to be broken in...no blisters or uncomfortable wears from day 1. Yay!

Awesome retro sneakers! They do feel a bit tight for me, but not in the toe, just in the upper room of the shoe. They are slowly stretching and conforming to my feet though, and I do recommend them!

I am very happy with my Pegasus 83's, I wear them everyday! I run in Nike Free 5.0's but I wear these the rest of the day. They don't seem to be breaking down and my feet feel great at the end of the day.

The shoe is suede (or suede-like), not synthetic. Looks nice, but I didn't like that the insole is not removable. Other Nike Pegasus all have removable ones.

Overall I am not happy with these and regret keeping them. They look nice, neutral, and not too flashy, but they lack comfort and support. They are also a bit snug and feel constricting (I wear a size 11). I recommend purchasing anything Nike Lunar as they were the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned.

Like others I agree, they are 1/2 size too small. I own many Nikes and they are typically the best fitting size 14s. Zappos is great place to buy for large sizes; unfortunately these are a little off.

Extremely disappointed with these shoes. This was my first (and last) time buying shoes on the internet. The left shoe is more narrow than the right. Thought they may just needed to be broken in but that's not the case. Even after taking the laces completely out just putting the shoes on you can feel the obvious difference. Now they are too worn to be returned. What a waste of money!! Will never buy a pair of shoes without trying them on again. Expensive lesson to be learned.

I own an Air Pegasus 83 in leather which I like so much that I ordered this pair. Unfortunately they come about half a size smaller, so buy accordingly. Sizing should be the same on shoes that are the same reference!
