Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit 3 Running Shoes

The Invincible Run 3 sports a slab of thick cushioning to help you stay on your feet today, tomorrow and beyond. It's super springy and bouncy so that you can propel down your preferred path and come back for your next run feeling ready and reinvigorated.

Flyknit Upper

Flyknit uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations across the forefoot and midfoot increase airflow to create a healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. The breathable construction seamlessly integrates high breathability with stretch and support where you need it the most, adapting to the changing shape of your foot as it moves through the gait cycle. Three distinctive layers keep the foot secure whilst also providing a lightweight and flexible feel so you can go further for longer with an abundance of comfort and support. Flyknit is more durable than ever and works with your foot's natural motion to ensure lightweight support. To the back of the shoe, a heel clip works to provide an abundance of stability and support, this has been made smaller and located in a more precise area than the previous model, helping you through your run with ease. This will keep your foot in a firm and upright position, and it will keep the rearfoot locked in place. At the collar, cushioning offers a soft and comfortable feel to reduce the risks of chafing and irritation. Completing the upper is a lacing system that locks down the midfoot so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

ZoomX Foam

Ultra-light and super-responsive, the midsole material delivers Nike's greatest energy return yet; it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. The revolutionary ZoomX foam is manufactured from Pebax, a product conventionally used in plastic bridges and other moulded parts, and yields cushioning that is not only lightweight but soft AND springy. Until now, these three characteristics (collectively) have proven nearly impossible to achieve. Pebax has a lower density than some thermoplastic alternatives and this makes it lighter, flexible, and more impact-resistant, whilst giving it a higher capacity for energy return. When blown into a foam these properties remain, gifting you with a lively underfoot feeling that encourages you to run fast. Signalling the incredible resilience of ZoomX, the tiny creases that occur on every midsole do not have an impact on the foam's performance; these beauty marks are a result of the autoclave process which places the foam under extreme heat and pressure. The ZoomX sheets are then compressed in a Phylon preform which shapes the midsole parts. Because the special foam is so lightweight (one-third the weight of Cushlon), Nike can use more of it to separate your foot from the road; this means you get a thick and supportive midsole that will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. Shaped like a rocker, the foam provides support for the 3 phases of a runner's stride. It offers flexibility when your foot rises off the ground, a smooth ride when your foot is moving forward, and cushioning at ground contact. As well as this, the midsole has been made wider which offers a more stable ride and the stack height has also been increased to provide even more cushioning than the ZoomX Invincible 2.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Increased rubber on the outsole completes the React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 to provide enhanced traction and increased durability. It ensures a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage and protect users from losing control and slipping. The rubber covers the heel, forefoot and midfoot to enhance durability, resisting the traumas of heel strike and toe-off to provide you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. The waffle outsole was created using runner-informed data to ensure traction where you need it the most. The rubber outsole enhances multi-surface traction to ensure confident footing wherever your next race takes you.
