Nike Romaleos 4 – Here’s the newest colorway of what is probably the best Oly lifter for the year 2021.

Rogue has a great selection of weightlifting shoes – including the Romaleos 4.

Nike came up with another groundbreaking sports innovation with the Romaleos 4, a training shoe created for strength and stability. It features a supportive midsole and a wide, flat outsole, and adjustable straps at the midfoot. The Nike Romaleos are the most outstanding squat shoe in the world of powerlifting.

Here’s some of the styles that are available now:

Nike Romaleos 4 – Video Review on our YouTube Channel

Why read when you can watch? Check out this video from our YouTube channel:

All the different versions of the Romaleos 4 (including the AMP model) perform in a similar fashion.

Nike Romaleos 4 – Overview

Look forward to pain-free training as Romaleos 4 brings better overall comfort with this pair of bad boys. It is a little heavier on the feet than the previous version, which boosts more power in your lifting and squatting. It has a modern and stylish design with different colors of deep ocean/pure, platinum/ozone blue, and metallic copper compared to earlier versions.

A wide heel creates a stable base for heavy lifts, while its rubber tread provides durable traction to meet the demands of your sport. It has a raised heel, which makes lifting and squatting effortless.

Its adjustable straps at the midfoot protect your foot during your most extreme workouts. The expanded straps over the laces are adjustable to bring guaranteed support, and its grip makes it feel as if your feet are cemented to the ground.

Nike Romaleos 4 Review – Other Editions

Not digging that color? Here are some more styles.

Nike Romaleos 4 - Swoosh
Some people don’t like the ostentatious swoosh logo on these shoes, but there’s no escaping it – it’s on every edition of the shoe.

Black/White is a nice neutral looking color combo. But, that Swoosh stands out quite a bit.

Nike Romaleos 4 - Black/White
Want something more subtle? Check out the Black/White colorway shown here – my personal favorite.

Black/Orange is more subtle and still has all the great performance features you need for Oly lifting.

Nike Romaleos 4 - Black/Orange
Here’s another colorway that we tested. Sharp!

Nike not your cup of tea? How about the Reebok Legacy Lifter II instead?

Nike Romaleos 4 Review – In Summary

That’s our review of the Nike Romaleos 4 from Nike.

Romaleos 4 has an upgraded platform, better balance, and traction, the same heel slip, while its fit and looks still boils down to personal preference. With its additional strap, you’ll enjoy a drastically improved level of support. Romaleos 4 is your perfect buddy if you want exceptional durability, firmer, heavier support, and if you have wide feet.

Nike has released a new colorway of their Nike React Metcon shoe: Light Armory Blue/Thunderstorm/Black. Here it is: What’s the key feature of the Nike React Metcon? It’s right in the name – React foam cushioning. React foam is a Nike invention that gives you energy return with every footstep. Originally created for their running shoe line, it’s got great carryover to a cross trainer like the Nike React Metcon. That’s because the WOD (Workout of the Day) in CrossFit can require LOTS of different things. Like running, sprinting, jumping, skipping rope – and much more. And for those high impact activities, you need a foam cushion system that is more forgiving than what is in the Nike Metcon 5 and other shoes. That’s where the Nike React Metcon shines. So, how is this wonder of impact cushioning done? The drop-in midsoles are made completely of React foam. (The "midsole" is the part of the sole that sits between your foot and the outsole of the shoe.) So, React foam provides better cushion – but not at the expense of [Read more …]

Here’s some new color options for the Reebok Nano X. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Nano, Reebok has reexplored this iconic shoe loved by the training community. This shoe now comes in four different colorways for men and women with the same versatility Nano is known for. The Reebok Nano X is still available – even though the Reebok Nano X1 was launched over 6 months ago. The difference between the two? The Nano X is purely a lifter’s shoe – with minimal cushioning. The X1 is a little more versatile, and it has some cushion thanks to the FloatRide Energy system in the midsole. Here are some of the styles we are going to look at: Reebok Nano X New Colors – Overview Instead of using different shoes for different workouts, Reebok Nano X trainers are supportive enough for strength training and have lightweight flexibility for runs and cardiovascular drills, as well. They are runnable with a compressional molded midsole that gives you a smooth, long stride and protects your feet with its long-lasting, lightweight EVA foam [Read more …]
