I had never even heard of the invincible line of shoes, but I recently gave them a try and I am absolutely in love with them. SO SOFT and even as a pretty novice runner, I get absolutely no soreness in my legs after runs
The heel slippage I had to start has gone away with the runner knot but also just break in. I think the heel has become a bit more “rough” if that makes sense. It was really smooth to start and caused that heel slip for me. After 50 miles, it’s good. I agree that it’s more versatile, it’s a solid shoe! Recommend if you want more stability and lockdown compared to the 3. If you’re just after an easy day shoe with an emphasis on comfort, stick with v1 or v2!
What is the heel slippage and runners knot for?
@@livingonthetyne This is maybe too late, but heel slippage is the occasion your shoes slip away from your feet, which will start from the heel, first. The runner knot is for tightening the further foot area which are the last extra holes of the shoes, and the shoes can hug your feet better if the last hole is put and stretched as you tie your shoes.
It sounds like the 2 was better at being an easy, cushioned shoe. People who wanted the shoe for that purpose did not need it to be “versatile”.
Nailed it. Have ran a lot of miles in the 2 and the 3 is nowhere near as good for easy runs.
Just feels so expensive too
@@fudbeer1 how many Miles did the 2 last for you?
@@lulal1388 I have 2 pairs in my rotation and both have around 200 miles on them and virtually no signs of wear have heard from others they good for at least 400 miles but obviously that varies with different runners.
The invincible 3 is also a more durable shoe which is the biggest reason for a lot of people buying the 3.
He's a real runner! Look how good and smooth his video looks...WHILE RUNNING! Oh I'm subbin'!
60th like, nearly as old as me !!! i ordered a pair of these by accident , thought i was buying my usual model, anyway found the super comfy but sadly within a month i had a sudden onset severe knee pain , suspect meniscus tear, five weeks painful walking, zero running, honestly believe that the show changed my bio mechanics so sadly will have to ditch them, never had a knee injury in forty years of running
Hi Ben! I was wondering if you could make a video talking about your post run recovery routine and how you manage to run so much without getting injured. I recently increased my volume and my legs are done
I know Ben does use foam rollers and everything like that but there is no magic formula. If you increase your mileage your legs will hurt for a while. They will soon become adapted to the increase in mileage and gradually hurt less as you hit that mileage. When you increase the mileage again, the process will repeat. Ben has done a few marathon blocks peaking around 160+km now so anything around the 100-130km range would feel alright.
Legend in the running review game Ben
Just picked these up & have done two runs. Same ride, invincible 3 is more cushioned “most likely due to the extra foam” & it’s slightly heavier.
The lockdown is by far superior in the new model. That’s one of the first things I noticed. I love the new upper. I felt like the 1/2 model didn’t provide much stability at slower paces.
Interesting. Most people have been saying the lockdown is not as good in the 3.
@@jackwright3098 yeah I was surprised. No runners knot just a classic lace, laces ran little short but I’m locked in.
@@chrisvarelabenitez4690 ya i do think it's weird nike doesn't realize they've given us laces that are too short for 3 generations of shoes.
I have two pairs of the third version, and have had multiple problems with the upper. The upper digs into the top of my foot and where the lace lock is are hot spots. They are not as soft as the 1st two versions. There is some minor heal slip, but no rubbing. There is significantly less cushioning on the upper the holds your foot, almost like a stripped down competitive shoe.
Completely agree with everything you said. I’m sending my 3s back , there not completely rubbish but I’m not going to use the 3s all the time I can use the 2s so would be a waste of money to keep them.
Do you like the 1st or the 2nd version more for casual short runs?
I still have v1, haven't justified upgrading yet - the 2nd looked very similar, and now the 3rd seems like an upgrade for longer runs due to improved stability, and an downgrade for short casual runs because of the less cushioned 'racey' upper and more stable, but less soft feel when you land. I don't find v1's stability to be an issue for me personally, as I don't run long miles.
I know laces are longer on v2(was a bit of an issue with the short laces with the first version for some), but apart from that, are there any other improvements?
@@alexbelikov6660 @Alex Belikov the v1 and v2 are exactly the same in terms of performance just a upper up date and I love them both there the best max cushioned shoes there are nothing else comes close .I know some people like the v3 but honestly I didn't like it for any kind of runs
The upper was very uncomfortable at the back due to lack of padding and heel slip
Only reason I see to get the v3 is if you found the v1 or V2 to unstable .
Even then I'd pick the novablast 3 over the invincible 3 but neither are as soft and bouncy as the invincible 1 or 2
I like them both but the difference between both is that version 2 is softer & bouncy. while version 3 is firm & a little bit bouncy but it's still a great shoe 🙂
Beat them up much more mileages and they will feel much better -> durability of midsole got better
Ben.. positive review; I have heard mixed reviews. Just want to know if these were gifted or any affiliation with Nike, i'm in two minds after BP's review where he is ambivalent and yours which is generally positive. Probably going to just get another 2 series but your positives sound good.
He did get invited to the Nike media release party and also had his shoe supplied by Nike so it would be hard to turn around and criticise them too much however I think he would have not been as positive if he hated them haha plus all the RUclipsr have certain biases , fordy run said he hated the invincible 3 before anyone had even tried it
For me the invincible 3 has major problems with heel slip and upper cuts in to me a little there little padding at the back either .
The midsole is okay but it’s lost some of the magic of the first two.
They have tried to make it more stable for people who complained and it in the first two
So it’s stiffer less bouncy and less soft and people who complained the first two been unstable still think the 3 is unstable so there’s no winners here I guess .
The invincible one or two are softer bouncier are way better in my opinion in fact there the best easy day / daily trainer you can buy
It is great to watch another episode during my long indoor bike trainer session. Cheers from Poland Ben! Google luck at maraton I believe you 'll smash it!
I’m sending my pair back.
I absolutely love the the first two versions but the 3 isn’t secure at the heel and I have to tighten it up so much with the runners knot that it’s too tight.
They also don’t feel quite as soft and bouncy as the 1 or 2 probably because of the board and they feel heavier on foot.
I actually felt I could run faster in the one or two as there’s more bounce
If they kept some of padding at the back of the shoe it would have felt a lot nicer around the foot and been able to get a more secure foot lock down
Agree only small changes but they lost that magic haven't they.
@@fudbeer1 yes unfortunately 😢 and don’t think we are the only ones who think so .
If they sorted out the lose heel it would at least be a okay shoe but the one and two where by far and away the best easy day/ daily trainer you could buy. I paired it with the saconey speed 2/3 as a daily trainer/ speed work shoe and a vaporfly for speed work / racing
@@steveh8758 Indeed I remember when I first tried the invincible 2 was totally blown away by it one of those shoes you just want to run for ever in but these feel like it's more a case of getting over the issues.Such a shame I kind of get what they wanted to do which is make it a more mainstream shoe without losing the the unique feel they had. They have probably succeeded in the first but not in the second and added new issues to boot.
Hi. Which one did u like better v1 or v2?
@fudbeer1 hey. Did you like v1 or v2 more?
I am asking this everyone who's had both :)
My v1 still haven't fallen apart, so...not sure whether upgrading is worth it.
Overall, very happy with them. The zoomx slab is starting to come off of one, but I'm trying to glue it back up for now.
i just bought these few days ago...today first bigger training in these...they feel so comfy and also good for some tempo runs....one shoe for all i need for road running trainings... good grip for some parkruns too.
Version 3 sounds like it will be better for faster and more elite runners but personally i wanted the same or more softness and the stability in V2 never bothered me. The upper of V3 definitely felt like a downgrade to me also when I tried it on. If this is an easy day shoe I want comfort ya know.
hated the upper enough on the v2 to return it so if the v3 got even worse then i'm definitely out! Favorite upper was still pre-prime blue adidas primeknit but even that's gone nowadays
Good honest comment section on this video. Nice mix.
Loving the new vaga cap waiting for the new collection to drop
I'd love to see you review the new Saucony Endophin Elite!
Rather stick to the Turbo2s from Nike. Comfiest daily shoe I’ve ever bought. So much so ended up buying 4 pairs when they were discounted in size 14 UK, just to make sure I had them for a while
Three runs in loving the NI3 ! I agree seems much more stable and easy on the legs. Enjoy your channel!
Thought carp fishing was expensive until I became involved in running PT lol
Ben you are awesome man
Would u say the Nike Invincibles 3 are better than the Hoka bondi 8
Thanks for the review. If to choose between this one and nimbus 25, which one would you choose?
Where did you get the transparent boxes shown in the background that you use to store your running shoes? Thanks
You had me at Strobel Board 😍
So far everyone says this one has heel slippage and that's the only problem I have with these. So far everything else about the shoe is good
As a beginner runner looking for comfortable and fun shoes, what do you recommend more Nimbus 25 / Sacconi Triumph 20 / Nike Invincible 3 / New Balance more v4?
Hey Ben, could you make a vid on your supplementation during marathon training? Thank you
I still like the SC trainer better after the first 20 miles (after successfully removing the plastic with a hobby knife bc of rubbing my ankle bone) than the nimbus 25 or invincible 3.
Thoughts on Nike Invincible 3 vs Asics Gel Nimbus 25 for recovery / easy miles? I'm older and training for my first 1/2 marathon and my legs are perpetually trashed. Recovery is such a massive issue for me and I thought one of these models might be a good choice as I head into spring & summer.
Just picked up the Nimbus. Much better fit and more stable for me. More comfort too.
Where are the shoe boxes from ? Need some in my life !
I bought these hoping to use them as a everyday trainer going to work as well as running. They are way to clunky to use with jeans or trousers. I’ll have my first run with them tonight…. But man definitely feels like walking on clouds
Cool shoes, but what are those headphones you're wearing?!
Just got these. They feel very unstable and I also have serious heel slip. Odd that you didn't experience that.
Good videos mate. I’ll never put a Nike on again.
Subscribed !
Less wobbleage, got it. 😁
Shame I had to send mine back. Caused severe tendon pain in my feet, the other versions I love, and this is nice but every time I ran in them the same issue. Ben, are you allowed to say if you didn’t like a shoe due to PDR sponsorship?
I got the Pegasus 39 back when I started running a while ago. Should I upgrade to these shoes? Should I buy these for easy runs and keep my Pegasus for quicker runs and race days?
Is the invincible 3 suitable for people who overpronate
It's still noisy as fuck.
That outsole also gives the shoe a strange feel when you land. It's like the feet feel the softness but somehow the brain perceives that clapping sound like something rigid and flat
I loved the Hoka Mach 5. I'm now trying to decide between the nimbus 25 or the nike invincible 3. Any advice?
Nimbus 25 is getting great reviews
Ultraboost
In exactly the same boat, only throw the More V4 and Triumph 20 in the mix too!
Invincible is similar to the Mach 5. It’s bulky and slower, but more cushioned. I’m hoping the Endorphin Speed 3 is a replacement for both.
Would you choose these as a daily trainer over endurance speed 3 for heel strikers running between 10km - half marathon distances?
Is it okay to use it as a everyday shoe?
Is this proper shoes for lifestyle (non-sport)?
Legit just discovered this channel. I have a question! Is Ben running?
Hey, I have a lower back injury and walk 8-10km everyday to stay active and lose weight.
Do you think these would be a good cushioned option and would last at least 1+ years of regular walking?
My other options are limited like Gel Nimbus 25. I've used Novablast 3 but had them stolen very sadly.
you should try kinesiological tape, it is amazing for injury recovery
Maybe not something you know too much about. Although I was wondering if you have any advice on overpronation while running. I recently bought my first pair of running shoes, which were Nike vapourfly %2 and these cause me so much pain after 3km.
Can’t help but feeling like your reviews are going to be jaded now you’re partnered with pro direct…
Hey, does it give enough stability and heel support while running?
Is it water proof ?
Anyone know how Ben went in Osaka?
the right leg is a little pronate, what do you think? can i buy such shoes? :) Thanks
What is the 1600m workout?
very heavy for tempo run
Each foot os diferent
I bought these are returned them within a day. Was very disappointed by them, heel slip, too heavy & overall too firm.
Sounds like they used the trash zoomx again. After the V1 Alphafly/Vaporfly the zoomx changed.
I have the 2 and 3.The 3 may be more stable but its lost that bouncy fun to run in feel that I and many others loved.Really disappointing.
👑
Seems a lot of people aren’t loving this version from what I’m seeing.
How many shoes do you now own?😂
Too many
Absolute worst shoe i ever put on my feet
First
6:51 🖕🏿👟
😂
nikes are bad m'kay Mr Mackey m'kay
Worst shoe ever made. Slippage led to blisters which led to trapped nerves once skin healed. Put me back training two weeks. Ben I’m not questioning you or your great channel but did you not get this? People are talking about Nike pumping so much money into advertising that no one wanted to question them.
Nike is over rated
I don’t run would they be overkill for walking?
Good luck in Osaka Ben 👍🦾🏃❤🤍 🗾
This shoe was for sure never made to be versatile. Totally rubbish, who on earth takes out one of the most heavy daily trainers for tempo work, makes absolutely no sense, this review, sorry
