I'm a fitness writer and I was surprised to see the new Nike Pegasus discounted to under $100 for Black Friday
Nike has knocked 30% off the Nike Pegasus 41 for Black Friday

It's rare to see Black Friday discounts on shoes in the same year that they're released, but this year Nike has knocked 30% off some styles. Specifically, it's reduced the Nike Pegasus 41s, which are some of the best walking shoes I've tested.
You can get the women's shoes in a black-and-white colorway for $98 and the men's shoes in black, white and red for the same price. Several other styles also carry discounts, but stock is more spotty, so you might not find your size in the style you want. To get the discount add the coupon code "BFRIDAY" at checkout.
Additionally, you can find the previous generation, the Women's Nike Pegasus 40, for $89.99 at Footlocker. The men's shoe remains at the full price of $130. There's not much difference between the 40 and the 41 in terms of performance, so if you don't care too much about having the latest shoe, get the 40 rather than the 41 to save yourself $8.
Save 30% on the men's Pegasus 41: a reliable shoe for running and walking, with a bouncy feel underfoot thanks to the dual Air Zoom units and a ReactX foam midsole.
Save 30% on the women's Pegasus 41 too. Originally designed as a road running shoe, they also make great, comfortable companions for those who work on their feet all day or find themselves walking long distances over hard surfaces like concrete.
Save 31% at Footlocker. I tested both the Pegasus 40 and Pegasus 41 and couldn't tell much difference between the two generations. The Pegasus 40 is 10g lighter than the 41 and the heel stack is slightly lower, going from 33m in the 40 to 37mm in the 41. The forefoot has similarly risen from 23mm to 27mm. This may sound like a big difference, but we're talking millimeters of height here, you'd only notice if you put a 40 on one foot and a 41 on the other.
I like the Nike Pegasus because it's a reliable, well-cushioned shoe with a retro look that never goes out of style. It's been around since the 1980s and over that time Nike has honed the design to create the perfect shoe well-cushioned without being overly stacked, a neutral ride to suit most gaits, and responsively bouncy, giving you good energy return whether you're walking or running.
