Our verdict

The Nike nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX isn't just a waterproof twist on the regular Pegasus Trail. By incorporating a revamped outsole and a highly protective new upper, it has morphed into a superior shoe overall at the cost of an extra $20. We were really impressed by its surprisingly light weight despite the Gore-Tex membrane. Plus, the bouncy and comfortable React midsole is ideal for short and medium distances, making it an all-around superb performer in our tests. However, we think it does come with a few caveats, like a significant 12.8-mm heel-to-toe drop and the absence of a gusseted tongue.

Who should buy

We believe the GTX version of the nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy is an excellent choice for:

  • Just about anyone looking for a light, waterproof running shoe that can handle easy-to-moderate trails with ease.
  • Fans of the Pegasus Trail series who desire a GTX version for rainy days or winter training sessions.
  • Heel strikers seeking a versatile, road-to-trail shoe that's equipped with Gore-Tex technology for all-weather performance.

Who should NOT buy

The nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX is a great trail shoe, yet our belief is that it's not the best fit for challenging or technical terrains. It's just more suited for less demanding scenarios. For tackling tougher trails and wild adventures, consider the Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX instead.

Also, it's not our top pick for primarily road running, especially if you're a midfoot or forefoot striker. The Hoka Clifton 9 GTX, Nike Air Flight Zoom 98 The Glove Miami Heat rpgkicks.

Cushioning

Heel stack

And no, the weight savings don't come from skimping on the React midsole. In fact, at 37.7 mm, there are few trail running shoes more generously stacked than the Peg Trail 4 GTX.

This ensures ample cushioning for long runs if needed, even for the heaviest heel strikers out there.

Forefoot stack

In contrast, the forefoot is average at 24.9 mm, which we anticipated in the lab because the Pegasus line has always featured a high drop. Let's take a closer look at that.

Drop

Here it is. With a 12.8-mm drop, this shoe is a delight for those who thrive in high-drop shoes, like extreme heel strikers or those needing to ease the strain on their calves and Achilles in every run.

However, it's not the best trail shoe for forefoot or midfoot strikers. You won't benefit from the shoe's wedge-shaped geometry, and you'll likely struggle on technical terrain. If you fall into that category, you're better off with a shoe with a lower offset, like the Cheap Nike Zoom Fly 4 Barely Volt.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Nike has employed its tried-and-true React midsole in the nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX, aiming for a perfect balance between stability and comfort, and the foam truly delivers in that respect.

React might not be Nike's most advanced foam—it's ZoomX—but it performs its job exceptionally well, standing far ahead of many other middle-of-the-pack foams in terms of energy return. We really liked it!

Toebox width - widest part

Another common critique of Nike shoes is their snug fit. But that's not an issue with the nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX.

We measured the widest part of the upper at an impressive 97.7 mm, making this shoe well-suited even for those with wide feet.

Stability

Lateral stability test

As a Pegasus model, this shoe is designed for neutral runners who don't require specific stability features like medial posts or guidance.

Yet, its performance is nothing short of miraculous in this aspect, offering a ride that's consistently stable on buffed trails, leading us to believe it could also suit slight pronators if necessary.

Torsional rigidity

We discovered in our tests that one of the main reasons for the shoe's impressive stability is its torsional rigidity.

When we manually assessed it, we found it's as rigid—scoring 4 out of 5—as trail shoes that have carbon plates like the Saucony Endorphin Edge, even though this one doesn't.

The Pegasus saga has always been like the average Joe of shoes, and Nike's designers stuck to that winning formula with the shoe's dimensions. We measured the forefoot and got 111.6 mm, which is... yeah, you guessed it, just average!

Weight

Weighing in at just 9.6 oz (271g), we're absolutely amazed at how Nike managed to deliver a Gore-Tex shoe that weighs the same as the regular version. In our lab experience, most shoes gain between 0.5 to 1 ounce with the addition of the GTX membrane, so this was a delightful surprise.

And the shoe indeed feels incredibly light, staying under the 10-oz benchmark. It's not just suitable for slow efforts but also performs brilliantly at faster paces.

Breathability

In our lab tests with Gore-Tex shoes, we usually expect a low breathability score—typically a 1 out of 5. However, the nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX surprised us with a slightly better score of 2 out of 5. This is probably fine for trail running as long as you avoid the hottest days of the year.

The minimal breathability is mainly through the tongue, as the Gore-Tex upper almost completely blocks airflow, even though it's supposed to let some air in.

To confirm this, we shone our powerful light directly into the cut-in-half upper. As we anticipated, no light penetrated through.

Still wanting more evidence, we turned to our microscope.

Nike nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX microscope

There, we discovered a thick mesh that confirmed the lack of airflow throughout the entire upper, except for the upper parts of the tongue. Everything is sealed.

Lastly, we manually assessed the upper and found it super dense, with almost no stretch potential. But it also appeared really sturdy, which made us eager to test its durability in the lab.

Durability

Nike has included several TPU protective overlays in the upper to enhance protection and prevent damage, yet we tested it by applying the Dremel directly on the engineered mesh.

Next, we again used the Dremel, but this time to test the heel area of the shoe.

There, we noticed slightly less padding than what's typical in training shoes, a factor that we believe contributed to the fantastic 5 out of 5 score this variant of the nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy achieved.

Outsole hardness

Moving to the outsole, the Pegasus saga—like with the regular Pegasus 40—has always prioritized durability over grip.

Outsole durability

Given the hard rubber it packs, we had high expectations for our last Dremel test in the lab, this time with a new formula designed for wet or loose surfaces.

We must say, Nike really delivered this time, shaking off their reputation for crafting subpar outsoles for rainy days. This one is grippier than ever.

Moreover, it proved to be durable. We only found a 0.8-mm indentation in the rubber, which is a great result in this evaluation.

Misc

Lug depth

One of the major criticisms the Pegasus Trail series has faced over time is its grip on wet surfaces, a crucial aspect for a GTX shoe. That's why Nike introduced a new rubber formulated for wet conditions and a redesigned outsole.

Nike nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX outsole

The new outsole design features a wide variety of 3.5-mm lug shapes, each tailored to handle different terrains and situations, like uphill running, downhill, or taking corners.

We must say, while it's still not quite on par with a Vibram outsole, Nike is definitely stepping up their game!

Reflective elements

As a trail shoe designed for adventures, it was crucial for us that it had reflective elements—and it does have them. However, the reflectivity is quite low, and clearly, Nike could have done a much better job in this area.

Test results
nike x psg air jordan 7 retro LEGACY university red college navy GTX Yes

Tongue padding

The tongue is not heavily padded, just average at 6.3 mm.

nike pegasus trail 4 gtx tongue 21082013 main

We think this is the right approach—this design works well and we definitely don't want the shoe to add more weight than what's already added by the Gore-Tex membrane.

Tongue: gusset type

We have a problem here: this is a trail shoe equipped with Gore-Tex, and the tongue isn't gusseted.

This is a big disappointment for us. In a Gore-Tex shoe, where waterproofing is crucial, we believe a fully-gusseted tongue is a must-have. And the same goes for any trail running shoe...
