Super durable workhorse
Anonymous runner · Jun 9, 2023
4/5
Overall
The Infinity Run is one of the best value shoes I've ever gotten. 3 years of year-round use (part of a 8-shoe rotation for a national elite class runner, average minimum 10k in the shoe per week) and the shoe still doesn't feel flat, and usable for paces even down towards LT1. The Flyknit mesh is very forgiving and due to the wide base of the shoe, stability isn't an issue. Super super good value for the money as the shoe seems indestructible. Only issue is that the heel counter digs into the achilles - the later version fixed this.

Great All-Arounder

Overall
This is a great versatile shoe for cushioned easy runs that isn’t afraid to pick up the pace when you’re looking for it. The first time I wore it, I felt pain in my mid foot until I took them out of retirement two years later. The mid foot shank can take some getting used to but overall this shoe shines.

Great foam made into a crap shoe
epicTCK · Dec 27, 2020
3/5
Overall
The upper was awful. No lockdown, often too tight, slippage caused blisters, and the heel rubbed the Achilles. The last or mold used for the midsole was also crap, very different than standard neutral lasts used on many other shoes from various companies. The foam was nice. If nike just made something like this with the rocker shape that it currently has, a neutral last, and a standard Pegasus - like upper it would be great.
