Thanks for this great review. I am running in them since few months now. They are indeed super comfy and bouncy. Perfect trainers for long distance, 10+ but no problem to make easy training rounds of 5KM+ If the knee(s) hurts they do a good job too. Don't like the laces, way too short... and, compared to my Kiger or also Pegasus, the Invicible gets instabile in curves - Can't take them tight and need to slow down a little.

I was able to get my hands on a neon green/yellow zoom x invincible shoe for $80. My only negatives is the shoelaces are too short. Other than that for once a running shoe has exceeded my expectations. Extremely cushion bouncy pillow soft under my feet. I am 5'10 230 lb and a heavy runner. I have 70% cartilage left in the left leg not in my right and while it hurts the next morning I'm absolutely addicted to running. Besides the doctor said I have to keep my knees moving as I'm too young to have knee replacement at 52. So hopefully these shoes will address some of the tenderness my knees feel after my 3 Mile treadmill run. Sadly, I can no longer run on the streets. I will update this review in 6 months.

I just picked up a pair of these, because after trying them on I couldn’t not get them. They are that comfortable!

I also use Hoka One One Rincons for my long days and Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20s for my intense/faster days. But WOW, these zoom x are an impressive right out of the box and offer a great replacement to those looking for an ultraboost alternative.

It hasn't done it for me. I got a pair recently and did 23km for my first run. I found it different but my feet and legs felt pretty good afterwards. The next long run was split, because COVID restrictions meant I had to run 6km on my treadmill before going out for 20km. I got some odd pain in my left knee. The next day my knee started hurting a lot. It turns out the shoe shifts the load in my knees and I developed Quadricep Tendinitis. It got an appointment the next day and my physio said no more long runs in the Invincible. It cost $250 in Australia, which is a lot for 43kms.

So glad you reviewed this! I’ve been running in it since release day and have around 65 miles in it and wow is it comfy! I actually find it harder to go slower in, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected. The mid sole is like nothing I’ve ever felt! The fit is fantastic even having a wider foot, but I don’t feel like it really works as a long distance shoe. Not sure if it’s due to the lack of stability or the desire to go fast but for now it’s a good medium-ish distance shoe at quicker paces. Thanks Ethan, nice one!

I got the shoe in an all black upper, so the looks are fine. But it is a rather blocky, chunky thing. I guess they had to make it stable in some way. To me, the better daily trainer is the Adidas Adios adizero pro. It's soft and has a bit of stability at the same time. Plus, it's a lot lighter.

@kierenkd3 жыл бұрын
I have it and 3 runs / roughly 40 miles & not sure I like it (bought it with birthday discount). I prefer the feel of react foam. The shoes are really loud! As a city runner, it's actually quite useful - where pedestrians wouldn't hear me in my Epic React Nikes or Pegasus 37, in the Invincible, pedestrians part and make a space for me well in advance of me getting to them. Hopefully the pebax zoomX will last. I don't like that the cushion looses some ground feel and introduces some lag to your gait. I also think it encourages hitting the ground harder than a firmer sole - a bit like punching a wall will bare knuckles vs with a boxing glove. I worry that impact force is just dissipated further up the kinetic chain, like hips / back. Nike says there is a lot of science in injury avoidance behind this shoe though, so what do I know.

i went out for my first run in these today and I’m on the fence. I’m a neutral runner with a high arch and I really sink into the shoe as I run before it rebounds - like running on sand with springs. I’m not sure the deep sink and rebound is good for someone like myself with less flexible feet. I like the energy return might need a firmer shoe. Would love a recommendation for something firmer but with energy return.

React foam is good. I have these and the epic react 2 and much prefer the react foam. I agree with you on the zoomX lag in the gait cycle. I have no experience with Saucony endorphine shift but that might be worth a look? I was going to buy that at 10% (run club) discount but Nike gave me 25% off for birthday month, so I went with the Invincible

The latest ultraboost is firmer then previous versions, and has great energy return.

I love the awesome shoe reviews. At 240 lbs, I find soft shoes make me feel unstable when I run in them, especially on off camber terrain. I tried hoka bondi 6 wide (still a smidge narrow), brooks adrenaline 19s (crushed my toes even in the wide shoe), new balance 880s, etc. I found vfive fingers works for me, I have Xero HFS shoes also. They just work for me and my wide 11.5 3e feet , less injury at the knee. Occasionally at the expense of some Achilles when I get sloppy at a 10 to 15 mile run. I am no pro runner, like to keep some body mass and still have endurance. All that to say, like GR says, buy them from a place you can run and return if needed. Awesome review as usual!!!

$60 in 1984 money is close to $160 in 2011 money
