For those battling running pain or merely running long on harder surfaces, the Invincible Run may be an epiphany. The upper is locked down and the midsole is plush and springy. The toebox can run a bit narrow, but most runners really enjoy the running experience with one possible exception: these shoes are tall and can feel unstable with all of the squish.
Plenty of grip for a road shoe, with a sole covered in small studs. This is especially nice when running gravel paths or mixed surfaces.
Durability is questionable with a few hundred miles possibly being the upper end of life for the soles.
The extra-bouncy ZoomX midsole does a great job at protecting the legs from feeling beat up on hard running surfaces, but the rounded heel and soft midsole can also make the shoe feel unstable and sloppy.
If your running is generally in one direction, you may love the bounce and shock reduction. If your running involves many sharp turns, try a more locked down shoe.
There are few complaints about the breathability of the Flyknit uppers. Some of the extra padding around the collar might make the shoe feel a tad warmer, but most runners find the shoe ventilated.
With plenty of uppers to choose from, runners will find the ZoomX Invincible Run to be stylish. Some feel the maximalist sole looks a bit silly with all of the foam. By other Nike shoe trends, the color combinations don’t take big risks.
A highly flexible and comfortable shoe, but so squishy it can be sluggish when high performance is required. Great for the first time marathoner — comfortable and form forgiving.
The outsole has a nice, micro-studded pattern which is plenty for a road shoe. Oddly, Nike included two small flat rubber patches (one on the inside heel, and one on the outside forefoot) where the traction is absent in favor of a stylistic Nike emblem. This could possibly wear oddly depending on foot strike patterns.
The ZoomX midsole takes time to break in and may pack out faster than midsoles on more firm shoes, but it also creates a fun experience many runners say is unique. Those who struggle with foot and leg pain may find relief with these shoes thanks to the midsoles.
Nice, breathable Flyknit uppers which feel locked down and have a comfortable collar around the heel. The tongue is gusseted (sewn on sides) and combines nicely with wide laces.
Laces stay tight, especially when double-knotted (as they should always be!). The length of the laces cuts it close and can feel a little short.
