On the other hand, if you’re looking for an exceptionally soft sneaker for everyday use, your search should begin and end with the ZoomX Invincible Run. The ZoomX Invincible is a bridge (and a very bouncy one) between performance running and casual athleisure – and an enjoyable experience as long as expectations are managed. This uber-cushy shoe is the one for easy runs or walking around town.Īt a conceptual level, the Invincible Run is akin to the adidas UltraBoost 21. This isn’t your race-day shoe, nor is it a versatile daily trainer that feels at home doing higher speeds. Though that’s much higher than the other ZoomX models, it’s also indicative of the Invincible Run’s intentions. It is worth highlighting that this shoe weighs 11.07-ounces for a half pair of US 10. The plushness is supplied in the right quantities in all the right places, and the trim levels are at par with the Invincible’s hefty price tag. The upper is an exercise in no-expenses-spared design. The outsole design is unusual – it’s a thin sheet of densely lugged rubber that not only completely covers the underside, but also rolls up the sides. So much so that the midsole spills outwards and has to be supported with a Urethane base plate. The rear, in particular, is exceptionally wide. The Invincible Run has very high stack heights (37 mm rear, 28 mm front) and an ultra-wide heel and forefoot. The composition of the midsole isn’t the only thing that sets it apart. Thus, all the cushioning comes from the very bouncy and soft material that we’ve come to know as ZoomX. The shoe even lacks a proper lasting, and the insole is just but a thin layer of foam. The Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit is the first model with a midsole that’s 100% ZoomX.
