My wife and I just returned the new Invincible 3's because they were way too narrow for her in the midfoot. We immediately purchased the 25s and she absolutely loves them!
The video I was looking for!! Great work Alex!
Thanks a lot!
thank you for the review. very well done.
in 8 minutes you touched all the points and gave a comprehensive comparision.
hope your channel grows
Thanks a lot for this very nice and encouraging comment!
Thanks for the great review. Was using Nike Pegasus since model 33. Wanted to switch to something more comfy. Just ordered Nimbus 25 :)
Nimbus feels like running on clouds
I love the Invincible but the thought of running a marathon in it made me shiver with fear. 😅
Just ordered a pair of my first ever ASICS and I’m stoked!!! Let’s go!!! How many miles you think can be logged on these maybe like 400-600?
After trying out both shoes the nimbus was the much better one in over call comfort and design and didn't feel as heavy as the Nike
Where did you get the white Nimbus 25s from? Havent seen them anywhere including in your links!
Great Alex! Next: invincible 3 vs more v4, novablast 3 vs nimbus 25. What do you think about? Kindest regards
Would love to to know what shoe you would use for a 2nd marathon and it's training, need to change my vapour flies.
That Nimbus 25 colorway would let me pick that over the Invincibles anytime. Skeptical about those FF Blast+ Eco… I think it's just a thicker version of the Nimbus lite with a gel rather than a true FF Blast+ plus found in the NB3 or Metaspeeds. Making it less bouncy.
I have the invincible 2 and whilst it's so so bouncy and plush it weighs far too much to be a distance shoe. ASICS have done significant work on aesthetics and the Nimbus 25 is by far a visual winner... Nike need to keep their focus on lightweight, aesthetically pleasing shoes.
I just got the Nimbus 25 and have both the Invincible 1 and 2. Love all three, but leaning slightly toward the Nimbus. Concerned about the the Invincible 3. I may stick with the Nimbus for the near future.
same here
Are the Nimbus good for daily walking
Hello. Thank you for your reviews and comprehensive help. Can I know your foot length and the shoe size you use in Nimbus 25 so that I can have a reference?
Would u buy the Nike invincible threes over the Hoka bondi 8
I bought the Nike invincible some weeks ago but it has bad heel slippage and the upper is not breathable.
Durability for the invincible??? im staying away from nike with zoomx foams beacause they dont last due to the upper and midsole separation. i had the invincuble 1,, tempo next % and the tempo 2's all had the same issue with over a 100km in all of them. durarability for me goes to asics. just my two cents.
which is better if u want 1 pair for most of running ?
Really interesting shoe battle Alex… i like my invincible 2.. got them for 96€ lol i decided to buy an other pair for 110€.. discounted … instead of buying the3s… too expensive and too many reviewers reporting that Heel slipage… the nimbus25 are quite interesting… but too expensive too 200 for a daily traîner 😤 …and i have my superblast which i like for a lot of different runs 👏👏👏👏😉🇫🇷
Agreed!
Did you get any heel slip on Inv3? Just ordered Nimbus 26🤞
I have inv 2s, so it'll take lots for 160 on the 25. I'm thinking of a casual 24 for only $90 something US. OR wait for glideride 3 to go on sale.
Seems like the gliderider 3 is on sale now for 80euros.
The heel slippage is a easy fix just do a runner knot.... but yes the upper need to be bigger
I'm in my 70's and just got a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam More V4. Love them for walking. 😮
I have been using many ultra boost shoes for years. Invincible is very unstable for me since i am heavy. Nimbus 25 is more stable and feels similar to ultra boost. If you like stable shoe,nimbus 25 is better. If you don't mind unstable and prefer softer cushion,invincible is for you.
I am using nimbus 25 for daily standing all day on feet shoes. It replace my ultra boosts. Ultra boost 22 wasn't comfortable for standing long duration 🤣
this! thanks for the comment.
Bought the Nimbus 25 recently and have run 40 miles in them now over 3 runs.
They're super comfy and the upper and heel counter is brilliant. Not cheap but got them on offer for £147. Looking forward to logging lots of miles in them
Do you find your knees hurting after each run? I've only got about 15 miles in mine so far done over 2 runs but my god do my knees suffer and I just don't know why? I don't have that issue in any of my other trainers 🤔
@@paulmulks no problems, have now done up to 18 miles in them and no issues.
Have you had any knee issues previously?
@@andrewcash4658 No never had any issues. I do a lot of miles in the Glideride 3's which for those longer, slow paced runs are fantastic, they also have FF blast+ which is why I thought I'd get the Nimbus 25. I don't have any issues in the Glideride 🤔 I have the Alphafly and saucony Pro 3 and again I don't have any issues with my knees in them. I'm going to put the Nimbus on ebay I think and use the money towards getting the saucony triumph 20 instead
@Paul that's a really odd one! 18 miles is my longest ever run and they were great. May be there a touch harder in comparison to those other shoes on your list.
I've the glideride 2 which I found great initially but they are a tad hard. I've read the 3's are an improvement and softer and lighter too
@@andrewcash4658 Glideride 3 is a fantastic improvement over the v2, I'd absolutely recommend it 👍🏻
Thanks for your feedback, stay healthy 🏃🏻
Which one would you recommend for slow easy pace long runs 30k, about 5:30 - 6 min/km pace
I'm actually using the rc elite v2 for that matter as I bought the sc v3
Thanks
Nimbus! It just feels better...hope this helps ;-)
Invincible didn't suit me. First the outsole was slippy in the rain (rains often where I am throughout the year) like I'm on ice skates no kidding! Next a hotspot below my big toe that annoyed me. Thirdly heel slippage for I have skinny heels triangle shaped foot only asics is suitable. I'm trying to decide between Novablast 3 TR and Nimbus 25 as my next shoe. Right now running in kinsei blast which is supportive and just right fit overall but want something softer plushier to rotate with.
In your opinion how much does the runners weight have an impact on which shoe would feel best? Maybe the softness of the Invincible would be more beneficial for heavier runners?
Great review as always!
It does have an impact but I actually feel like the nimbus would be even better as the heavier runner would compress the foam more. The invincible would become even less stable for heavier runners in my opinion
Thanks a lot for your nice comment and continued support!!
Great question 👏
@@AlexFilitti bad advice. The nimbus foam would compress more and bottom out for heavier runners as it’s not as firm as the invincible..Heavy runners over 200lb should stick with something more firmer as the invincible 3 because as the shoe breaks in, they will become comfortable and mold to their foot.
I don't know why they keep comparing these two shoes. Just by the weight alone, should tell you that the Nimbus is the better shoe. There is no reason why any shoe should be as heavy as the Invincible 3.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the shoes weigh the same. I own both and in the size that fits me in both shoes they are both 11.2oz (using my food scale). I have an M11 in the Nimbus 25 and a M10.5 in the Invincible 3. I will give it to you though that the M11 Invincible 3 weighs 11.5 oz so it is heavier but it is a bigger shoe than the size 11 nimbus 25.
Not everyone cares about weight
as asics have wide and extra wide version for nimbus, its nimbus for me!
Good point and one I forgot to mention! Thanks for sharing
What about fit and toe box width comparison?
Thoughts on Invincible 3 vs NB More V4?
I have both and I have to go Nimbus all the way, simply much more comfortable than the Invincible IMO. I could wear the Nimbus all day! Thanks for the comparison video.
Nimbus over inv for long shifts?
@@Ben-qb4lj for me most definitely!
Nice video Alex. I am not at the slightest drawn to these 2 shoes somehow . 😕 and I always have huge FOMO but my Fomo-dar stays off on these 2 . I don't see the use of this nimbus . Also I don't see the benefit of this nike
Thanks Fabian…once you tried the Superblast it’s hard to be attracted by anything else isn’t it? ;-)
@Alex Filitti I don't see any other max cushion shoe doing better for sure. For sure they win the no plate first prize. Vomero 17 been postponed again that's a shoe I might pick up
Wow…. Never heard a shoe comfort described as “consensual”. Very well done. Hahahah.
Exploring new English words everyday ;-) Thanks for your comment
i've try both, and IMO (i'm 64kg, so those shoes and not good for my run) invincible is better also if you have to do some intervall session in long runs. Like today, in my 13km run, at easy pace (4:40/km) i run 4:40 flat and the last 3km (1km 4:30- 1km 4:15- 500m 4:05- 500m 3:50) was responsive and fast. Nimbus in a similar workout, was too stiff and not so responsive. You have gel in the back of the shoes (useless for midfoot stride) and the midsole is not so "bouncy" as the invincible. I had the same sen. in the novablast 3
How’s the stability of invincible 3 comparing with fuelcell rebel v2/v3? Thanks.
The invincible 3 is now more stable with wider platform.
i highly recommend doctors of running for stability scores
Less stable I have both higher stack makes it a bit unstable but i still prefer invincible
I have the invincible 3 in us size 12 and i actually feel like the laces are too short. I have a difficult time doing a runners knot. I dont have the nimbus 25, but i do have the nimbus 24 and feel that they are equally as comfortable as the nike invincible 3.
Nimbus 24 was actually a dud.
@@filoIII i have them and i like them.
Great Comparison Review ! ++++
depends if you prefer lace bites (nimbus) or ball of foot blister (invincible)
I have no lace bite whatsoever on the Nimbus. It’s the first and only max cushion shoe I’ve had, and I bought it for slow, easy LR’s and recovery only. Whatever one can say about it, the upper is the most comfortable I’ve ever put on my feet.
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 : yeah I wrote that comment after my first run (short trial run) in the nimbus 25
however, my second run wich had constant 10-15% hill, I had no lace bite whatsoever
so nimbus is superior in every aspect, it might be less "fun" and bouncy, but it deliver on everything else with no compromise
One question. You call them "daily trainers" at the beginning of the video, but are they tho? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call them max cushion / recovery / easy day shoes?
Trainer is a common term for running shoes that you can wear for a variety of tempo, slow or fast run, whereas racing shoes like Vaporfly, meta speed sky plus or edge plus are mainly used for racing or running a marathon.
@@wonkydonkey7899 Still, daily trainers aren't max cushion / recovery shoes and vice versa. Tho there is certainly some overlap.
Those white nimbus with the tan bottoms are fire 🔥👀 I can't even find those..
I followed the link and found them they aren't in the states I'm getting for sure now lol 🔥
Not in USA 😑🫡lol
They're not available anywhere sadly, just a pre production colorway
What shoes do you think are more demanding on lower leg muscles(soleus, tibialis posterior)??
Great question here !
My bet is that the Invincible will kill your lower legs. I could not run in them. Nimbus 24 never had a problem.
@@i.p2088 that's what I guess. I was using the Invincible v1 (+600km) and I afraid of feeling the Nimbus very firm! But for running in light trails maybe more stable and better option the nimbus 25.
@@i.p2088 fun fact the majority of the problems with my calves i had from Saucony Triumph 18, also Bondi
Wut u think of the lace loops on the nimbus? Is it gonna snap?
No I don’t think so. You think it’s not robust enough?
@@AlexFilitti idk I know I've had some Nikes before and them loops snapped. I hope they don't snap
De las nimbus no puedo opinar . Pero las nike las tengo un par de días y mi opinión es la siguiente.
El uper muy rígido, la zona talonar no ajusta bien , los cordones muy duros y malos. Y la suela más dura y menos flexible que la versión 2 .
Both good shoes.. it depends what kind of stance you have..
for me is nimbus better shoe, but grip on wet surfaces is slippery
Shame they didn’t release the Nimbus in that colour in the UK.
New Nike invincible v3 vs v2 comparison video?
There are quite a few of videos made to compare invincible v1 and v2 if you do a little search. There isn’t much of a difference between these two versions, mainly the upper change.
I can’t run in the ASICS at all. Picking up speed becomes a chore.
I found the nike 3 very sloppy. My heel slips and also issues with my achilles. I also have the asics and it's a very good shoe all around. I'm so surprised to see so many positive reviews about the invincible. Perhaps nike it paying for these reviews?
I’m one I’m those who love the Invinvible 3. Let me give you a background. I just started running two months ago. Have never run before. I’m what scientists refer to as a “fat bastard”, so I needed cushioned shoes. Bought the Invincible 3. Yes, there was heel slip, but if I use a “Runner’s Knot”, there is NONE. I have since bough the Nimbus 25 to alternate with. I like them very much, but the invincible 3 are still my favourite.
VS More V4 pls
how come that white nimbus is not available
It was a proto colorway only for the release I believe. But given how many people enjoyed it maybe Asics will consider producing it…? Thanks for your comment
There is a white colour way available.
Have both of them and the Nimbus are more comfortable at least for me.
Yes comfort points have to go to the Nimbus!
@@AlexFilitti The ideal recovery shoe is a Nimbus 25 with the full ZoomX. But that doesn't exist, so you have to sacrifice one of them in every shoe. Invincible 3 is very bad at comfort. For me, the answer is clear: I'm picking the Superblast more than ever (comfort + thick premium foam) despite having Inv3 here
@@vicius23 good to know about superblast, been on my radar for a while
Too hard to choose? Take the first one in discount.
I've got the Nimbus. Upper is great however it makes my feet very hot! They are comfortable when walking in however my issues start once I begin running. It feels like I have weights tied to my feet and my knees feel like they've been bashed after every run. I'm likely going to sell them and reinvest in the Saucony triumph 20
The triumph has a different ride indeed, so it may work for you if the NImbus doesn't. Happy to hear from you if that's the case or not ;-)
Did you end up going with the Triumph 20? If so, what are your thoughts?
@@scottc5171 I have literally today received the Triumph 21, done my first 10k in them earlier and the jury is out at the moment. Need a few more runs in them before I can really give an opinion
Fordy Runs mentioned that the Invincible looks more like a Nike Lifestyle shoe now. Gotta admit that I agree and that's just turn-off for me.
I would not go this far but I can see his point. Nevertheless Asics wins it here
Hate it or like it. At the end of the day, some runners will still appreciate the running experience in invincible runs. You’d be surprised some runners even like Nike zoomfly 5 and Pegasus turbo next nature. Just because you don’t appreciate a shoe, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for others. 😅
Asics for sure 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your opinion! ;)
@@AlexFilitti
One more point.. Quality... My Nike shoes are really not quality
I always feel like a cost saving experience with the Nike. Asics last much longer and feel like a quality product.

nimbus 25 🥰
Nimbus 25 works better for my easy runs
Same here!
Nimbus is 200 euros not 160
invincible run 2 unglued ….next ils 25 !
nimbus says euro is the new dollar
Anyone who complaint about nimbus25 you guys have alien feet...
There are many different tastes out there ;-)
Dude, the shoes are outside the camera frame for most of the video, and you hardly show the side profile close up. Fail imo.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
What would it take for Asics to make decent outsoles?!! Duh!
Mediocre grip as always!!
My Novablast 3 has the worse grip of all my zillion shoes..
@@i.p2088 on par with Hoka Mach 4 I would say ;)
I just got both lol problem solved 😂
I have both shoes in size US10. Both also have weight differences in the left and right sides. Overall, they're of the same similar heavy weights 300g+. The Nimbus is not any lighter as mentioned.
Adidas wins everytime 😆
Which shoe would you throw in this battle?
Prime x strung and adios pro 3 are very comparable.
@@wonkydonkey7899 they are both plated and not for easy runs, prime x is super unstable as well
They the have the same Weight. Get your Numbers right man!
Why no one ever include skechers in compares?
I don’t understand how people say the invincible is bouncy it’s soft but not bouncy just dead and slow, well that’s my experience with the 1s and 2s they make ideal walking shoes. don’t like the sound of either of these tbh
Rich, what's a bouncier shoe to you than the Invincible?
@@carlosangalang Alphafly.. Vaporfly..
Interesting. I only have experience with the first version, but I do not only find them soft and bouncy, they pick up the pace very well for me. I haven't had another shoe that felt as special in the same category. But, as with most of my running shoes, they are too soft to walk around in.
@@i.p2088 Agree. But I was wondering if there was a bouncier shoe than the Invincible that isn't a plated, superfoam shoe
@@carlosangalang will be to unstable without any plate. The plate is actually stabilising the soft foam.
Asics is an overated shoe company I have used nimbus 25 and it gets torn within four months and my hard earned 16k rupees got wasted.
Nike siempre va a ser superior, no sueñen más
Dont like the design and look of the outer rubber outsole. Ugly AF compared to nimbus. 😊
Nimbus wins just by design, Invincible is hideous looking.
100% agree. Looks like their cheesy lifestyle line of shoes. Not a fan at all.
Design and colorways come down to personal preferences but it seems like a majority of people are not into the invincible 3 look…
Thanks for your comment 😉
Invincible 3 looks so much better than Invincible 1 or 2.
Does the nimbus actually come in such a clean design. One without the logo on the sides.
@@thedawapenjor the prototype shoes that they gave to reviewes didn't have stripes but the shoes offered to public do have. So, the answer to your question is No.
That thumbnail faces... stop, please!
Haha thanks for the feedback, I have to admit that I am having some fun doing them but I understand everyone may not like them.
Without a doubt I will buy the Nike Invincible 3, for several reasons.
1. They are cheaper and have a fair price compared to Asics.
2. I do not like very comfortable shoes that do not give me extra speed, as I call asics Nimbus 25
3. Asics cheated with Novablast 3, in fact it should have been Superblast, this Novablast 3.
So NO Asics!
