There’s the Nike Free x Metcon 2 Men’s Cross Training shoe in BLACK / BRIGHT CACTUS PURPLE / NEBULA / WHITE.
Here’s the Nike Free x Metcon 2 Cross Trainer for CrossFit in Black/Purple Nebula/White/Bright Cactus. This is the splashiest design yet on the Free x Metcon 2 from Nike.
What is the Nike Free x Metcon 2?
Nike has combined the key elements of the Nike Free running shoe line with the Metcon cross-training shoe.
And this means the Nike Free X Metcon 2 is the best of both worlds for the dynamic athlete.
The Free shoe line replicates the barefoot running experience – the deep siping and hexagonal foam blocks of the sole give flexibility along the length and width of the shoe.
Let’s take a look.

Just remember that they tend to “shorten” your legs – so they can be somewhat unflattering on the wrong physique.

Nike’s React Metcon shoe is the first Metcon shoe to incorporate their proprietary React foam cushioning system. Why? For high-impact comfort AND stability.
