Steve: To say I was excited to receive these would be an understatement. Stack Height: men’s 32mm heel / 22mm forefoot It has big shoes to fill and we’ll see if it comes close to performing as well as the Turbo 2. It was fast enough for workout days, yet comfortable enough to crank out long runs, so the Next Nature version here definitely was on my radar as soon as I heard it was coming. Zack: The Nike Pegasus Turbo 2 was an amazing shoe for me, and probably in my top-5 running shoes that I have ever run. ![]() That leads us here, to the Turbo Next Nature! It’s clear it’s not the same lineage, directly - the name will tell you that, if the appearances don’t - but a little change isn’t always a bad thing!
