I use these shoes for all my training runs, even the speed stuff on occasion. It’s the best daily trainer shoe out there because it bounces along and provides miles of leg saving goodness. It takes the top long run shoe spot in my rotation as well due to the leg/feet saving properties and it’s the only shoe I’ve tried that stays comfortable through 20+ miles. The shoe is very plush in the upper as well hugging the foot in pillow like comfort. You can pick up the pace in it as well, even though it’s not the lightest shoe out there by a long shot, it prepares your legs for running all out in Nikes race day shoes the Vaporfly and Alphafly, and gives those shoes a magical feel when you lace them up on race day and feel the weight disappear. The 3rd version of the Invincible Run Flyknit did get more stable with a wider base and improved midsole geometry and the thicker outsole makes them last twice as long as the 1st and 2nd version. For the 4th version I’d love to see Nike drop the weight a little on these while still keeping the durability, either way I’ll be running many miles in them.
These shoes not only have me consistently running at a lower heart rate (helps keep easy days easy), but they also provide superior comfort/cushioning to help the legs recover. If that wasn’t enough, they’re decent enough to pick up the pace to an “uptempo” subthreshold pace when you want, with good stability despite the soft ZoomX foam. The only negative is the heel slip, which wasn’t present in the previous generation Invincibles. Using the runner’s knot got rid of this for me. IF the durability is similar to the previous generation, it is more than adequate, but the foam does seem to toughen up a bit past 300 miles. They’re still usable past that point, but changing them out is never a bad idea if you have the spare change.
I've been running in ZoomX Invincible 2's and now 3's for the last 18 months. The cushioning is fantastic: they are like running on pillows, but the "pop" only lasts around ~250-300 miles or so before I find myself needing to replace the shoe. The stack is also rather high which has seemed to somewhat increase my risk of rolling an ankle, particularly while on grass or unpaved trails.
Overall I love the show and will likely continue using it, but would love it if Nike were to make the "pop" last longer for these shoes.
The invincible 3 is the best trainer I’ve ever run in, it feels like running on clouds during light recovery or easy runs. I have also found that it is still comfortable without feeling mushy for lighter workouts, such as a tempo run. However, the heel lock is always either too loose or too tight, and I ended up having to buy thicker socks to feel properly locked in. The biggest problem with these shoes is it’s price, costing 180 dollars on the Nike website. While I was able to get mine on sale, and many third party sites have sales on them as well, this price is just too much for any casual runner just looking for some shoes to run in.
I love the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit 3 so much that I got a pair for my son as well. I like teh stable platform and the cushioning. Would love to see a change in the material or design on the back heel tab as it seems to rub my achilles a bit from time to time, as a result I cant run with low profile socks.
Invincible's run 3 are my every day trainer. I rely on them to give me the spring I need to run 60-75 miles per week. they're light weight, durable(600-700 miles) and give you the stability I need from the newest update. The zoomx(pebax) is incredible. Similar bounce to that of the super shoes. Only negative is the $$ but I'm willing to pay for the value these give me. At 41 years young- my legs are saved!
I’m shocked more people don’t rave about this shoe. The cushioning is sublime, it is bouncy and it is forgiving on my old-man Achilles. I absolutely love this shoe. I predict it will keep me sub 1:30 for the half marathon well into my 60s.
Personally, I prefer the infinity react 2s.
Despite the cushion, they cause my feet to hurt quite a bit. On faster pace workouts or runs, it can be quite difficult to run faster due to the amount of cushion.
As a recovery shoe, it is simply perfect.
I personally use it as a daily all around shoe.
Not really a fan of how it looks.
These shoes are so cushioned with very bouncy and squishy foam. When first wearing them, they almost feel too bouncy that they become unstable. Overtime I get used to them and do like the way they feel most of the time. However, I worry that the foam is so squishy that I am not properly training my calves/achilles and I do try to wear other shoes in a rotation so I am not only wearing these super bouncy shoes.
Great for easy miles and warm-ups/cool-downs. I have about 450 miles on the my first pair and I have a second pair coming ini the mail now. I have noticed sometimes that the top laces cut of circulation in a way that no other shoe has for me but if I tie them carefully it’s not an issue. They make it very easy to settle in to an easy pace. I did on Aerobic workout in them once and it was really pretty horrible but, once again, they are purpose built.
