Been waiting for my Invincible 3 to be picked up by Fedex since last week. Maybe they "took" them.

That’s beyond crazy. I ordered two pairs of Lebrons and some tops, a jacket and running some shorts last week. I received what was supposed to be 1 of 2 Lebrons, but they sent some damn Blazers! Everything else is still in limbo with a status of order received or shipped but with no updates. To make matters worse, one of the items is supposed to be delivered by LaserShip

I picked up the AF Next Nature in December when I saw my size pop up on the app on sale for $180. Since then I took them on 3 or 4 runs. I noticed today that the flyprint on the inner arch of each shoe cracked. I know this is a known issue with the shoe.

Anyone have this problem and still run in them or should I return them before it gets worse? It’s just outside the 60 day window but I think customer service will work with me since this is a know issue and the shoes are essentially new.

Nike's warranty is 2 years ZoomXRunner , so absolutely bring those in and get at least a store credit! They'll give you $250+ tax, so that will actually be a come up. Sorry for the shoe being destroyed though.

those vaporfly 3 protos look sick

wonder how they are for casual wear

they dont look as "racey" as the previous models

Yep, it's a known issue. I got these when they first dropped and had the same issue on both shoes but spotted it much earlier, so my tears were much smaller. I didn't want to return them because I like the shoe a lot, they were sold out and I figured they wouldn't release more, and because it looked like an inherent flaw with the materials. I put a small strip of clear duct tape on the interior of the shoe and fixed it with no further issues after putting at least 40-50 more miles on them.

second run in these, lacking heel stability big time and there’s slight rubbing/discomfort on the left shoe where my foot arches

gonna give them another week to break in before I decide on sending them back or not

Went walking around the mall today for about 2 hours in the invincible run 3. They are incredibly comfortable! I need to get a second pair just for casual use since I intend to use my current pair as a hybrid run/gym shoe.

 

[HK47]

I've put in about 20 miles in my Invincible 3s and find them to be quite stable for a max cushion shoe (especially compared to the 1 & 2) and have had some limited heel slip, which was fixed by different socks and/or the runner's knot. But now that I figured out which socks work best for me, I don't use the runner's knot. Overall, the revised heel clip and firm strobel board really seem to make a big difference in stabilizing the ride compared to the prior versions, at the cost of some of that NB Rebel v2-like wildness/fun.

At the beginning of the month, it was a toss up to between the VaporFly Next% 2 or ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ to be my race day shoe.

I’m leaning toward the VFN%… just need to decide which one now lol

 

[illustrayt]

Finally saw the Ekiden AFN2s in person the other day, and they’re beautiful!




On a side note, I really hope the VFN3 will be on NBY like the 2s!

Been wearing my invincible run 2s for a while, mostly for work (8 hours on my feet)
There’s just too much cushion for me, my feet start to hurt and feel fatigued after a couple hours got the same feeling when I use to wear ultra boost.

I usually wear Hoka if I'll be on my feet for hours, and have not had any issue.

Hokas the one brand I haven’t tried. I’ve heard good things tho.
Ive been meaning to actually buy some I’ve have my eyes on the Clifton L suede

Oddly enough, I know the exact feeling you're describing. experienced it some days as well. In a weird way of describing it, it's the reverse of what you want to happen.

 

[MRBW]

They're meant for running so the instability of the soft foam won't be felt that much compared to standing around, not that great for you apparently, you'd want a firmer midsole if you're on your feet most of the day.

You may not experience this effect with the 3--the firm strobel board between the misole and sockliner makes a big difference

 

[eddiemcnasty]

i have invincibles 1 & 2 on deck for all-day purposes, but i get the same feeling as you guys when wearing them just for a short amount of time.

what’s the ideal “disney shoe” offered by nike right now, then? pegs?

[illustrayt]

Is anyone else reminded of the other terminator in T2 getting shot when looking at the VFN3 midsole?!

 

[salacious crumb]

I like this color. Simple, nothing too crazy.

I came across this review of the VF Next 3. I have a few unworn pairs of the VF Next 2 and have been telling myself that I don’t need the new version but this review has me rethinking that.
