I like the infinity run because it helps with my pronation. It isn’t too soft but also not too hard. I can bang a quick long run if I need but it is a daily trainer for sure.

50 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run
4/5
Overall
If you don’t experience the dreaded heel slippage that seems to plague many, this shoe is an ideal easy day workhorse. I use the Nike Spark wool sock, which is a thicker sock, and don’t experience any heel slippage issues. With about 150 miles on them so far, I definitely prefer them over the Pegasus 39 for the majority of my miles because of their superior cushioning and rebound. For any sort of speed work, look elsewhere. This shoe is a niche performer but excels at that niche.

Overall
I have been running in this line of shoe since March of 2020 on and off depending on what my bank account looked like when I needed a new pair of shoes. They have continued to improve with each generation and they hold up well for about 500 miles.

5/5
Overall
The Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 is a remarkable running shoe. With a durability that withstands my 50 miles per week and a sleek design, these shoes are exceptional. The React cushioning provides unmatched comfort, reducing fatigue and muscle soreness. Whether on pavement or trails, these shoes enhance the running experience. Highly recommended for serious runners. I've gone through over 12 pairs of these and just keep buying them. I've tried switching to Hoka or Puma and they just don't compare.
