The Nike Invincible 3 is available for $180 in men's and women's sizes on Nike's website. The men's shoe was launched in four colorways; aqua, navy, white, and black. Meanwhile, the women's shoes launched in earth, pink, blue, and black colorways.
Nike calls it the brand's most cushioned road-running shoe thanks to its sleek ZoomX foam, which offers supreme softness and lightweight support. The ZoomX cushioning provides a plush feeling underfoot. More importantly, it gives runners a powerful energy return with an extra bit of spring in every stride.
The design team's mission for this shoe is to keep runners on track for their goals and feel ready and reinvigorated after each run. Nike Senior Footwear Designer Charles Han said, “With this foam, I truly believe that every step is a pleasure. When I think of the softness in this foam and the way we've designed and tuned it, you can enjoy your easy runs.”

Comfort is what the revolutionary running shoe will be remembered for, but that is only a small part of what makes the model special. The Nike Invincible 3 has high-support technology with cushion and stability strategically placed and shaped to protect feet from pronation.
Several advancements were made from its predecessor. The Nike Invincible 3 has an evolved Flyknit upper that is strong and durable, with zones designed to increase breathability where feet heat up the most.
Nike's design team also shrunk the heel clip and placed it in a more precise location. In addition, the shoe's wider midsole adds extra stability to prevent containment issues.
According to Nike, a men's size ten shoe has a 9mm offset and weighs just 310 grams. It is hard to design a running shoe that offers so much impact protection while remaining lightweight. It is nearly impossible to find all that for $180. It is clear that Nike wants to keep us running and reaching our goals.
