Fast. Currently running in Invincible 3s and Infinity Rn4s, I actually bought these just to have. As an older runner with knee arthritis, I need good cushion. I tried these out on a 6 mile treadmill run and wow - these shoes are quick!! There is great support and the sole is perfect no matter where your foot strikes. (I’m a mid-forefoot striker). And they are super light; they feel much lighter th Greg · store.nike.com
