title. i’ve always run in invincible 1 or 2s and need a new trainer as mine have almost 600 miles, should i try invincible 3s or just go with the 2s and try to find them cheaper. i’m worried about the heel slipping in the new model. i usually run around 50-60 mpw and race 1600-3200 in hs
Stick with the 2s, or 1s even if you can find them, especially with the discount. Not sure how Nike continues to do it, but for the 3rd time in a row, the new generation next% ZoomX is once again firmer than the last gen! I have a hard time telling the Vince 3 apart from the Zoom Fly now, unless I very deliberately and heavily heel strike. Mid or forefoot strike? Forget it.
The 3s do have legit heel slippage. It's really hard to good a lock down but I don't notice it when running like I thought I would.
They are distinctly firmer than the 2s and contain more padding. I like them more but I also didn't like the super soft feeling of the 2s during runs.

I went half size down with a runner's knot and still had heel slipping. Stick with the earlier versions
I think the heel slippage in the Invincible 3 is not as bad as many make it out to be.
However, the 1 and 2 have a much better fit in the heel based on the large amount of padding around the heel/ankle collar. My recollection is that a lot of Shoetubers did not like what they thought was excessive padding. Blame them.

JACOB and YARED, why won't either try to emulate Hicham's 1500m tactics?
