I will never buy Harry's or any other woke brands

Been using Harry's for the last 8 years. Best inexpensive razor I've ever used, plus a does great job with scalp shaving. Even better that some clowns think they're "woke".

485 miles in my Invincible. The forefoot cushioning is a game changer!!

[@hastensavoir7782]

Your feet don’t sink? No fatigue? Ample stability?

[@ArthurLM2]

@@hastensavoir7782 I had a lot of problems with it. To me the solution was the runners knot and tightening up the laces with more intensity, and doing so with my ankle pressing on the ground.

[@angel-hernandez25]

Just getting into running and never really bought a pair of “running shoes “. Thank you Chris for all the info. Stay blessed

[@ASMRCNEAKERS]

My guy Chris never surprises me with how much he knows about the kicks he is reviewing. Your lesson on types of foams was super cool to learn about

[@TechnicallyNotSteve]

The best version of Nike react foam I have felt, is in my Pegasus Trail 4, both the regular and Gore-Tex versions feel fantastic underfoot.

[@Canman99]

Just went for my first long run in mine today! IMO, it's a great easy-run shoe!

[@ax23xr]

Originally bought these (this exact colorway at that) at launch in my true to size 10. Tried them on and they fit a little too snug for my normal wear. Had to size half up and then worked like a charm. I do appreciate the added rubber to the outsole which is something i wish was done on the previous versions. Overall very happy with the shoe.

[@harksgaming7455]

Mine are a little tight even after bumping them up by .5 near the middle of the shoe (near the laces)

[@BobRoss-wm3lc]

@@harksgaming7455hey did they eventually stretch out a little bit and fit better now or no?

[@BobRoss-wm3lc]

You still like these?

[@philliegoinez]

Just bought these last week & I love them! Only complaint I have is that it's a little snug at where the laces start. I do wish I waited until it popped up on Nike by you & created my own colorway, I may actually still do one up at a later date though. I was definitely hoping you'd do a review especially since Mrs. Wing is a runner. It's not up to ultraboost 1.0 level, but after surgeries on both knees I need the utmost cushioning & comfort.

Update?

[@sheenamackenzie9888]

i recently bought this shoe and am yet to try it out. thanks for the honest and real review!

[@dripbayless]

Hopefully these hit the clearance racks like the Infinity Run 3

[@Thattasome7]

Would be absolutely great if you two could do follow-up videos on running shoes in the future Chris and Jody as it was super interesting hearing your comments on the Invincible 3 shoe in this video after a few months. I went to try on a pair after seeing your video earlier this year and I agree with the both of you that all that cushion was just not suitable for a stable run. Just had this endless feeling of my foot sinking and sinking further in to that cushion like I was in a bouncing castle. Ended up getting the Zoom Fly 5's after testing it and the Invincible 3 in the Nike Store side by side running while in there, love these.

[@nubetre]

React (and now ReactX) aren’t the most exciting foams but their longevity is incredible. I got all my React shoes to 300+ miles and I usually kill running shoes well before that.

[@tupapiken3675]

What are the most exciting foams then

[@nubetre]

@@tupapiken3675 ZoomX, Lightstrike Pro, Flytefoam Blast and Turbo

[@agentjrb]

Zoom x is more bouncy (exciting) but v 3 seems to be a worse design with a bad upper and the fit isn’t as good as v1-2.

[@nubetre]

@@agentjrb it’s a shame what they did to Invincible 3, 1 and 2 were great.

[@joshuaherrera2054]

I have two pairs. These shoes are great to run or walk in! I also love the ultra boost 22 and nitro forever run. I like a little more bounce though. I completely agree with your assessment! Nice work!

[@hastensavoir7782]

Why did you buy 2?

[@ashtonturner2862]

I recently got a pair of the Nike React (not the React X) for jogging and they're super comfortable. I'm a fan.

[@maaly8111]

Getting the shoe with those stains on them is why I hated buying brand new out the box shoes. Many a time shoes I would buy in store had dirt marks or scuffs on them and they still tried to sale then at full price. Like buying a brand new car with scratches all over it.

[@johnreyraynard2548]

Pegasus 36 used cushlon foam but 37-40 they use react foam . ReactX is a modified foam of Nike, it's much more greener choice than the react because it lessen the carbon footprint by 43%. ReactX is more softer and has more energy return than the usual react by 13%, the exaggerated rocker geometric shape provides smooth transition also

[@tybh]

I tried on and the rocking definitely kept me from trying as a casual shoe, like some of the free lines.

[@joserod05]

My Joyrides ( about 3 years old and got them heavily discounted) are my beater/ gym shoe lol, I love them to this day

[@dirtdad]

I love my IR 4’s. They are really comfortable but if you have a wider foot they do require breaking in. Look great and now comfortable after a few walks/runs.

[@joelmorris9694]

The "waviness" in the midsole geometry evokes Mizuno's line quite a bit

[@jerryadams9521]

What do you think, if nike started to use this version of react x to use as midsole foam for their basketball shoes, would it give great cushion and still be suitable for ball??

[@ravindrag6121]

Nice review. Would definitely recommend to go up by .5 size, as it has a snug fitting around toes.

[@agentjrb]

Just tried them on half size up and they felt good except way too snug through the forefoot I don’t think I could go any bigger. Zoom x used to be good until they changed the upper and the heel on V3 doesn’t fit good. It’s sad because I loved the fit of the Zoom X 1-2.

[@owenwilson5271]

I’ve been running in a pair of invincible run 2’s that use the zoomx foam and they’ve been the comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn. super lightweight and full of energy return

[@wildforthecats661]

Invincible 1 is great. Loving the Skechers Go Run Ride 11’s.

[@dukestarfighter]

Tried these on yesterday at Dick’s and I went a half size up and they fit perfect for me. They feel really nice underfoot

[@vintageswiss9096]

Nike React Renew 2 are my favorite running shoes, just because the infinity and zooms have a gusseted tongue and i like my padded Renew tongue for long training days...

[@cw_uk]

I bought my rn4's specifically because Nike suggested it was the best supportive shoe for under pronation

[@MrWade931]

I love the Invincibles ✊🏾

[@doresrules28]

Love this shoe for walks/light runs. Go up half a size

[@Dramatello]

So the upcoming Pegasus 41 with the ReactX upgrade should be perfection?

[@lasereyes7349]

I have some infinity 3 and pegasus 39, and they are good. I was previously on ultraboost 1.0, and for some reason, they started destroying my feet with loads of pain.

[@snkrsandbeats]

So, might be alone here, but I thought the joyrides were really good. Seems to have been canned now though, so I probably was. Love learning about all the cushioning, great vid 🙌

[@CiprianNecula-g9z]

True to size?

[@DannyC03]

Super informative! Great video!

[@SATXrattlesnake]

They look so nice and comfortable. Too bad I can’t afford them

[@wadestuch]

What I find interesting is how heavily Nike leaned in on the "research" aspect for the 1st infinity react. Supposedly they researched and created the shoe with the intention of reducing runners injuries. I don't hear any of that carried over in to this latest model - did they just give up on it?

[@knay9147]

I don’t care about react,i want the best foam from nike aka zoomx with a carbon shank in premium nike basketball shoes.(a vaporfly bb shoes).

[@joemacch6284]

Love this react X. Let’s get it on a b ball shoe

[@hastensavoir7782]

I think I saw a BB shoe with React! Just didn’t see the label. Check it out!

[@SNKRHD_ROB-915]

Aloha from Hawaii Chris! Are you doing a restock on your since apparel tees? I love the material on the tees and need to cop some more especially the Jordan 4’s and white cement 3’s size L. Let me know please 🤙🏽

[@marvelghost]

Definitely go half size up from your normal size. It gives you enough room for your toes.

[@merlincalo6877]

@WearTesters Hey Chris, how are you? What are your thoughts on the the Infinity 4 after putting in some higher miles? I am considering these and the Vomero 17, which are slightly different. My concern with the Infinity 4 is like you mentioned the infused ReactX foam bottoming out to quickly. I would potentially get these as an easy run, recovery, and maybe easy long run sneaker. Btw, I see you are no longer using @Nightwing for your KZbin handle. 🦇 😂

[@samaantree]

My only gripe with the invincible run 3’s is the laces are too short and because the upper I so stiff you cannot tighten the shoe fully. You have to tighten just enough to give you foot blood circulation space.

[@Kicksaddictnyjp]

I’ve run in them with no show socks and didn’t have any issue

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

Just noted something in Sydney: Nike has been discounting the Invincible 3 in the outlets, so you can now pick it up for notably less than the Infinity 4 - would imagine similar is happening in much of the US and likely other places...(also, adidas has been doing the same with the ultraboost light...hmmm)

[@hippo71124]

The Nike outlet stores in Sydney is awesome Last week at Homebush they even had 2s, 6s, 7s. Invincibles, vaporfly, Streakfly, man

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

What strikes me is that it is so soon after the launch that these premium shoes are on discount. I can only imagine what the senior managers are seeing when they look at the weekly sales charts...

[@vincenttyler4667]

Can you please 🙏 review vomero 5's. Specifically the supersonic colorway

When he said "bad boys" i'm like "aight i'm good" 🙂

[@argocomics6207]

My big toe hits inside of the Pegasus 38 but not the Invincible FK2 so that maybe something to consider for wide footers (which I’m not even sure if I qualify as). Had Vomeros in the past that fit me fine as well.

[@deanharris1739]

I've been running in the Pegasus line for about 3 years now. I love them. I usually go a half size up to prevent any rubbing or swelling of the feet.

[@argocomics6207]

@@deanharris1739good to know but most of the time Nike does not make 15.5. Pegasus 40 has half sizes stopping at 12.5.

[@WWOFTBBNR]

I have 2 pairs of the Joyride Run FK (and a pair of the CC Setter), funny how quickly that tech died.

[@robertrich07]

Does it still give off the static shock? i cant wear react foam because im always getting shocked.

[@Dramatello]

First off, great video! So you finished the video with saying it is NOT better than the Pegs. I rock the Pegs 39s and they sort of at the end of their journey. I want a shoe that is NOT aimed to be a do-it-all and I want something just for running. So what WOULD be the best upgrade from the Peg 39 that isn’t crazy expensive? Like, Pegasus level of prices,

[@WearTesters]

Can’t go wrong with grabbing another Peg on sale tbh. Especially with the announcement of the upcoming Peg models with ReactX and Zoom cushioning around the corner.

[@Dramatello]

@@WearTestersthank you. Thoughts on the Novablast 3? Or still wait for Peg 41?

[@WearTesters]

The new Peg sounds too good to pass up. Even if they’re bad, they’re really enticing with the tech features.

[@Gfavvid]

Run Forest, run! I had to veer to ASICS, Brooks, Hoka due to my plantar fasciitis issues. I might try these types of Nikes.

[@hastensavoir7782]

Which Hoka models do you prefer?

[@Eazybrodie]

What shoes you recommend for plantar fasciitis? So hard to run cause of that​@@hastensavoir7782

Does it still have the slight arch inside the shoe? I like the infities but that slight arch hurts my feet

[@westonfrey4209]

These are my favorite shoes

[@pk.28]

How are these compared to VOMERO17

[@LLOUDD]

My feet are 310mm long, what size jordan would I have to get, because I've got no idea, because I'm confused withe all the different size of different brands, and I plan on ordering Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT's, but don't want to mess up the size... Any idea what size?

[@HoodiiSzn]

Not sure why but for some reason it’s very hard to find a clean flawless new pair of these. I went to multiple dicks sporting goods and they all had some sort of mark or smudge around the toe areas

If you like cushion zoom x is amazing the problem as Chris mentioned is v3 the upper is bad and I’ve found the heel to slip.

[@PCBBoysszzz]

Big fan

[@tomazapat8520]

They spend all that time to invent better foam instead of zoom pads 2.0. Thats how tjey can make the biggest difference from other companies

calling rich people out there could use some real running shoes. Im fat, it's been my 2nd week struggle with my tight china shoes. huhuhu🥺🇵🇭

[@mainsourcery]

Nike needs to go the barefoot route and at least have zero-drop midsoles.

[@adnaanu]

They kinda tried that back in the early 2000s, didn't really work for them.

[@mainsourcery]

@@adnaanu they need to go back.

[@adnaanu]

@usedblazers Nike free run is still there. But it wasn't the big money maker they hoped it would be. Wasn't minimal enough for those who liked the barefoot sensation. Also, Nike is a company that more or less made its name off cushioning technologies. Going down that route would be going against what made them popular in the first place.

[@giogiogiogi0]

[@Re.-fi3dz]

The sole of the shoe is a Ultraboost rip off
