I got the Invincible Run 3 recently and have put in 25 miles so far. I have all of the shoes here except for the Nimbus 25, which I am planning to try in the not-too-distant future even though I really don't need more shoes. I like the IR3 but I haven't been able to get as good of a lockdown as I had hoped. I need to try more different thickness socks. The ride is more muted than Invincible Ride 2 although it certainly provides more than ample protection from road impact. It's also more stable but I never found stability to be an issue on v2 anyway. The day after a 8-mile run on the Invincible Run 3, I took the Prime X Strung on a 12-mile run and, for me, there was no comparison. The PXS kills it in every kind of run imaginable, including slow and easy. The ride is just so much more pleasurable and fun. At the end of the run with IR3, my legs felt exhausted. At the end of the much longer run with the PXS, I felt like I could easily go another 5 miles. And this pair of PXS I got at USD150 during the holiday sale so, even value-wise, there is no comparison for me. These days, it's as though I run in other shoes just to experience and savor again the next day just how great the Prime X Strung is.
Good point about the stability on the nimbus. I tried it briefly on treadmill in store. I was so excited to try it after the reviews online, but I really didn't like it standing, walking, or jogging. Opposite might be true for someone who likes stability.
Agreed, Prime X Strung is an absolute joy to run in. So fun, so exciting, a cruiser on my Long runs and legs feeling fresh the next day. And got it for discount £136, can't complain. What a shoe!
Has anyone attempted removing the carbon plates from an old pair, then regluing the foam back together? I would LOVE to know what a slab of LS Pro would feel like underfoot.
As a previous user of the Invincible lineup I’m impressed with the update. A lot of engineering done to the shoe, making it more stable/foam. However, when wearing thin socks I did feel slight ankle slippage. I also could’ve gone a half size down but my narrow foot swells up.
I've had bad experience with the invincible 1 ( 3 pairs got upper-midsole seperation) and skipped the 2nd version. I haven't seen anyone in my local route using the invincibles after it first released, maybe because of the tropical climate we have here, the glue couldn't hold up. My friends that used the shoe for casual wear had the same issue. 😂 Per checking the 3rd model on display last weekend, they seem to have included a strobel board, which made me less interested (no more direct contact with the squashy midsole)😅
I ran the 2022 Boston, Chicago and New York City marathons in the Adidas Prime X. No problems. Picked up the Strung version a couple weeks ago and am planning on using those for Boston in a couple months (haven't worn them yet). The Prime X is just the most comfortable shoe and it keeps giving me PRs (and qualifying times for Boston, Chicago and NYC)! I'm only running in the Prime X at the moment and it's perfect for training and marathon/half marathon racing (I don't do speed workouts at all). I'm a heel striker and really like the rocker effect. I'm also a supinator and I feel the shoe corrects that so I'm more neutral. I recently tried the Nike Alphafly NEXT% 2 Hakone Ekiden and as great a shoe that it is, the Prime X is just a better shoe for me. Really hope Adidas doesn't mess with this design for many years to come! P.S. Yes, yikes, they're expensive!
This is a video I've been hoping to see! Thanks! I went to buy a pair of the SC Trainer the other day, and ended up buying the Rebel v2 for $25, and the original RC elite for $70. I couldn't resist 2 pairs of fuel cell foam shoes for under $100. Have you ever tried the More v4? That's probably the best NB shoe to compare I think. I've got about 300mi on the More, it's not the Invincible, but it's a decent max cushion shoe.
@@longshlongsilver293 I wasn't sold on the rebel so much. Last night I did speed work in it, now I'm a fan. It's a quick shoe! I like it a lot more than the Streakfly.
Hey Edd, I am now 60 miles into the Nimbus 25 and I do like them but only negative is seriously slippy sole on wet tarmac. Also run in Adidas Pro 3’s and they have tonnes more grip in the same conditions. Otherwise Nimbus 25 are a very comfortable daily running shoe.
Super video 👍 Adidas Prime X is my all time favorite running shoe. Personally, I think that far too many amateurs run like me, focus far too much on the weight in a pair of running shoes🤔. Instead of how much they give back. Most of us also weigh a bit more in the Elite runners 😳😁
After a year of running I lost 2 stone. All the hours I spent comparing shoe weights wondering what a gram lighter would do if only I could afford it lol. I dread to think how much I would have paid for minus 2 stone antigravity magic shoes...
Thanks for the video ! Tried on the nimbus 25 in store - still too squishy for me - felt like I was sinking into it - to squishy even for a for walking / comfort shoe I’m still using my old adidas ultra boost I think version 2.0 for walking - daily activities- held up and more balanced than the invincible or nimbus
Nimbus 25 is too squishy for walking but feels great for running. Nike Run 3 feels softer when running. I prefer Nimbus 25. You need to run in it you can't judge it by walking or standing.
Prime X Strung is such a great shoe. I actually use it regularly for daily runs tempo and long and especially if the legs are tired this shoe gets me going 👟 Have the invincible 2 but not much interested in the 3.
Marvs work old chap. On your advice, got the Strung. Use it for almost everything now. I now have a virtually full cupboard of redundant shoes. Over 600k's later and the outsole barely has a mark on it (and I'm 14st). Even for the full price it is completely worth every penny. In fact, I've just worked out, it's cost me 3 pence per kilometre so far. So that'll reduce cos right now it feels like it'll do another 600! Great recommendation!!
Thanks Ed. I bought the white version which look nice. Needed to go half a size up but it is not for me. Too heavy, clunky, lacing is not that great. Had to return. More of a life-style shoe perhaps?
After falling in love with the Adidas Prime X , I decided I will get the Prime X Strung and use them for the Brooklyn Half in May. I have 2 pairs of vaporfly next 2(one pair unused) and a pair of alphafly OG(3 miles in them) but I'm deciding to go with the Prime X Strung
Zoomx binding with the upper comes off like a band-aid in hot humid weather. Based on my past experiences the local nike guy advised me to wait and see. They got a lot of returns on the first 2 iterations. Nimbus 25 is perfect for slow long runs on tired legs on varied surfaces. Superb lockdown with an amazing upper. PrimeX is just pure fun. No shoe has a chance to dethrone it. Maybe they will put some hydraulics for energy return in shoes, maybe then. 😅
Have owned all 4. In order for my running style from best to worst I'd rank them Adidas/New Balance/Nike/Asics. For walking/casual I'd have Nike/New Balance/Adidas/Asics. I still have the Adidas for my longer runs and the Nike for casual only. I'd have kept the New Balance but the upper dug into my ankle. I hope they come out with more colour variants for the mk2. Didn't get along with the Asics. I felt like my big toe was touching the floor when walking! Need more colours for the Nike to come out over the summer. A triple white would be good, or maybe a Nike ID by you. My ideal casual shoe would be to have the Adidas upper, lower the stack height to 40mm and 30mm, remove the rods and widen the heel but keep the soft and bouncy Lightstike Pro throughout.
I agree on everything less the SC trainer, but..but... perhaps the reason is I took a hobby knife and carefully removed 2 areas around the collar (slicing off not cuttting through the whole upper). I did so bc they brutally rubbed my ankle bone. Shockingly I did not damage the shoe and I find the upper fits more snuggly than the strung's on my foot. Adidas could put the nail in all of this if they would give us a shoe with a slab of just LS Pro, and another with the same slab of LS pro plus a mild plate. Not sure why they have not done so. The energy return on LS Pro feels greater than anything else on the market imo. Anyway, stellar review sir. I also appreciate the reference to panda dunks lol.
@@EDDBUD New balance customer service was quick to point out I cannot return them now. To which I replied. 'Good because they are fixed and I won't need to replace them with Nikes.'. They did not respond.again.
This has to be a challenging topic for anyone as the audience has many differing reasons to prefer one shoe over the other as you say in this video. I'll add that, for me, I have never experienced a shoe that so completely deals with "impact protection" as the Nike Invincible Run. It is the first shoe that allows me to sleep peacefully at night after a 3.5 to 4 mile run at age 73. I'm not going to break any records so that is not a consideration. I'm more interested in staying fit and the joy of running for exercise. You were the first to make me wonder by your words "if we're talking max cushion nothing beats" the Adidas Primex Strung. My question is IF we're talking "cushion" only is the Strung along the lines of the Invincible 2(I consider the 3 less plush)? I'm fairly certain you'll say price per pound the Invincible 2 wins or maybe you'll surprise me but, without regard to price, is the Strung competitive with the plush ride of the Invincible Run 2? I run in the desert of Arizona where rain, snow and sleet are not an issue. And I don't enjoy suffering the aftereffects of a jarring run.
About to get a pair of zoomx invincible 3, but just saw nike tempo now on sale 50 quid cheaper. How would you compare the 2? tempo lighter and more snappy? Thanks
Hi eddbud master off cushion 💪 , excellent 👏 review 👏 😀, so hard now that most companies have gone all the same max cush way , the closest I've felt is invincible v1 ( I don't like at all to run in ) and rebel v3 , rebel is way more stable , im a heavier runner and use novablast v3 , saucony triumph 20 , asics glideride 3 all are just brilliant to use 😀 👍
Have you heard of anyone having issues with durability with the Invincible 2? I only got one run out of mine before the upper came away from the midsole (1 section next to my big toe 1 or 2cm and the outside next to my pinky toe on the other shoe where it is coming apart but is just hanging on). I have to return them for a refund. I can't get a replacement at that price because they no longer sell them and nike only gave me a 15% discount code, so can't come close to buying the 3's. I would be worried about buying another pair of 2's not direct from nike because they may also fall apart (and then I would be stuck).
I tried the Invincible3 and had heel slippage as well (despite using the runner’s loop). I also didn’t buy the SC trainer because of the snug/fit issue and heel collar rubs😢. But I got the Nimbus25 (in Wide) and like the not too soft not too hard midsole for my easy runs😊. Haven’t tried the PrimeX though.
How does the Invincible 3 compare to the Infinity Run shoes? I’ve kept my Infinity Run 2’s for 2 years because I loved them so much and before them I was getting back to back injuries. We’ll with some physical therapy, changes to my running form, and Infinity Run 2’s I got back up to speed. However, I never keep a pair of shoes longer than a year and I’m starting to notice the age in the foam, definitely feeling more impact and hardness on my heel. Looking for something like the Infinity Run 2 but maybe with a little more speed to it that I can still use for distance running.
I do like the outsole of the primeX..haven't tried the primeX strung cos of hot spots in all of the adidas adios line..the primeX was the worst of them..the high drop on the SC trainer would be an injury in the making for me..I gave up on acsics and nike except for the alphafly..running magazine's review did get my attention about the vaporfly 3 tho..
Even as an advanced runner, I love the ride of the Invincible (1&2), but it's just too squashy and bothers my lower ankle/foot muscles. The Nimbus 25 has been perfect easy & long runs, though not as fast/bouncy as the Invincible
I seem to be the only person who has shredded the back of their heels and arch with the prime x strung. If I strap up with compede pads I love it for long distance pace training, just wish my feet liked them more.
So for daily training What do you suggest Invincible 3 or Hoka Mach 5? I'm distracted by seeing so many reviews, i have magic speed 3 for speed training, and i need daily shoe for warmup and easy run
Edd I had the OG version of the Prime X and sold them after only running 30 miles due to them causing my shins to feel like they were going to explode! Don't know if it was stability issues or I just wasn't running quick enough in them? Question is would you recommend the Strung version? Is it really a big improvement over the OG version?
@@paulmulks Big gamble at full price. Fantastic or ankle snappers. Mine arrived a day before a half, so no time to try properly. I took them anyway to decide on the day. I was feeling lucky, and knocked 2 mins off. Then a park run PB where they really came to life once you give em some welly. Nothing broken yet.
@@bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694 Yeah thats my worry, I lost so much money when I sold my OG Prime X's which is why I'm hesitant to buy the Strung version. Problem I have is I absolutely love that Lightstrike Pro foam and even though I sold them I really wanted to love the Prime X lol I've seen that there is a v2 Strung model on the way so might save a few quid and wait for them 👍🏻
@@EDDBUD ok I can understand Edd. For me it’s like stepping into a slipper and with still freezed times now I feel protected. For summer I think it will be different 😁
Nimbus 25 is the better version of the invincible 3. They f ed up the heel on the invincible, it dances everywhere and that is just not okay. The nimbus is tight and comfy
Nimbus 25 is an egg frying machine. My feet overheat even from walking in them. Change socks, tightness, none of it helps. The heat does not come from the upper. It comes from the insole.
it retails at £210. Managed to get both the nimbus 25 and superblast on discount but wanna return one, just waiting for more of the UK shoe reviewers to have their say on the superblast to help with my decision lol everyone seems to have the nimbus but not the superblast
I have a few runs in the Superblast. Very stable and fast cruiser. I don't know if I will get the Nimbus 25 now. Probably in the sale. Can't get a discount on the Nimbus 25 because they are narrow so I need them in wide..

The durability of primex outsole is very good.

I have both, the only difference is upper which makes shoe more stable and contained fit, it is better than prime x celermesh upper.
@@aayusharora2459 Thanks for the info 👍🏻
@@paulmulks Big gamble at full price. Fantastic or ankle snappers. Mine arrived a day before a half, so no time to try properly. I took them anyway to decide on the day. I was feeling lucky, and knocked 2 mins off. Then a park run PB where they really came to life once you give em some welly. Nothing broken yet.
@@bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694 Yeah thats my worry, I lost so much money when I sold my OG Prime X's which is why I'm hesitant to buy the Strung version. Problem I have is I absolutely love that Lightstrike Pro foam and even though I sold them I really wanted to love the Prime X lol I've seen that there is a v2 Strung model on the way so might save a few quid and wait for them 👍🏻
I stick with what works, Saucony and Asics.
m i d s o l e now…
just ordered my invincible 3’s and hoping to pick up the prime x soon. thanks edd buddy
Enjoy. It’s a good shoe but quite specific in its use.
How would you compare the Triumph 20 against the Invincible 3? Only half the price these days in my country
Not tried the triumph. Maybe another viewer can help?
Hey Edd! What did you think about the durability of the previous versions of the Invincible run? Thanks!
No issues for me. Held up well
Ed Collins Adidas World, just listened, good fun but will stick with my fave "Ed Bud World"
I actually have the SC Trainer. It really suits for my ride. But I can understand it’s not for everybody 😊
I liked the midsole. Just the upper not quite to my taste
@@EDDBUD ok I can understand Edd. For me it’s like stepping into a slipper and with still freezed times now I feel protected. For summer I think it will be different 😁
Nimbus 25 is the better version of the invincible 3. They f ed up the heel on the invincible, it dances everywhere and that is just not okay. The nimbus is tight and comfy
Haven’t had those issues.
Midsole got separated immediately in the first version, no glued at all
When's the next Nike Vomero iteration out?
Very soon by all accounts
Overall what is the softest?
Invincible by a hair.
Remove the Nimbus and replace it with the Super Blast vs the other 3.....perhaps also the Max Road 5. ?????
Don’t have the super blast so can’t comment on that one
Nimbus 25 is an egg frying machine. My feet overheat even from walking in them. Change socks, tightness, none of it helps. The heat does not come from the upper. It comes from the insole.
It’s quite a dense insole in there if I recall
@@EDDBUD indeed. I don’t know what is it made of but it produces a lot of heat. Even wearing Belaga socks.
Oh yeah 😎
Just tried on the Invincible 3. Heel slippage bad. No thx.
Just use a runners knot and job done
@@EDDBUD $180 ≠ heel slippage. I should need a tying trick.
Asics superblast?
Don’t own that shoe sadly
@EDDBUD ahh okay fair enough
Superblast same price as the Nimbus 25 and 70gr lighter..
it retails at £210. Managed to get both the nimbus 25 and superblast on discount but wanna return one, just waiting for more of the UK shoe reviewers to have their say on the superblast to help with my decision lol everyone seems to have the nimbus but not the superblast
I have a few runs in the Superblast. Very stable and fast cruiser. I don't know if I will get the Nimbus 25 now. Probably in the sale. Can't get a discount on the Nimbus 25 because they are narrow so I need them in wide..
Orale vato!
Err?!
The Nike 3 feels like a gimmick shoe to me. It's unstable to even walk in. I returned them.
Great for me though we are all different.
$180 for an easy day shoe is nuts
Can’t disagree. Prices are nuts right now
Are a hard day shoe if your fat and overweight
Could not run in the Invincible V1. To soft..
I had them and ran 3 miles in them. It was like trying to dance in a canoe.
