Finally! The long delayed Nike Metcon 6 is now available.
We were able to acquire a pair prior to the global launch – and this is our in-depth, hands-on review.
Let’s look at this brand new CrossFit training shoe for 2020.
Here it is, the Nike Metcon 6 (NOTE: These are affiliate links)
Nike Metcon 6 Here's the Nike Metcon 6. The Mat Fraser edition is mostly sold out at this point, but the regular edition looks even better! Compared to last year this shoe is heavier, but it breathes better, and it is just as tough and versatile thanks to the dual-density cushion in the midsole and hyperlifts (choose between 4 or 12 mm of drop.)
Reebok Nano X Like the Metcon 6, the Nano X has 4 mm of heel to toe drop. It's heavier, but has a more breathable upper. Now in it's 10th version, this is a very good CrossFit training shoe. This is your best bet for wide feet - the toe box is crazy wide!
Overall, that highlights the facts – the big change with the 6 is the new upper.
Nike Metcon 6 Men’s – Updated
Nike Metcon 6 is the most breathable Metcon yet and has a reinforced mesh and improved airflow. It now comes in two different color sets – LT Smoke Gray/DK Smoke Gray/Summit White and White/Black/Gum Dark Brown/Gray Fog giving different looks but the same comfort, durability, and functionality.
Metcon 6 presents excellent support, great traction, and unmatched breathability. It has a dual-density drop-in midsole, flat wide heel, and abrasion-resistant haptic topcoat that presents steady stability and sturdiness in a light and breathable construction. This shoe is equipped for any workout you undertake making it the best all-rounder shoe you’ll ever have yet.
Nike Metcon 6 – In Summary
The Nike Metcon 6 is now available.
Changes from the Nike Metcon 5 are pretty mild – with the exception being the upper.
The all new upper should be very breathable, and a big step up in comfort.
All the other hardcore CrossFit training features you loved in the Nike Metcon 5 are still here as well – that high traction sole, firm heel, cushioned forefoot, rope wrap, and more.
Overall we like the tweak Nike has done to the styling, and being in Florida we are looking forward to putting the new upper to the test.

They have thicker exteriors, making them perfect for high-impact throwing/slamming exercises. Here are some of the styles we are going to look at: Slam Balls – Overview Aside from slamming them, you can also throw, toss, hold, carry, and rotate them. They are a fantastic tool for training explosive power and enhancing conditioning. Slam balls are made from thick rubber, packed with sand, and have an air valve that discharges pressure to stop bursting. They’re intended to be slammed thousands of times without tearing and generally have a soft, shifting feel. Practically anyone can do slams with a slam ball.
