Here’s a great new option for those that like to run with their WOD: the Nike Free X Metcon 2 in University Red/Black/White/Team Red.

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — The Nike Free X Metcon 2 in Nike Free X Metcon 2 – Men’s Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red. This shoe combines the best features of the "Free" running line with the Metcon line. It’s a good shoe for the WOD – especially if there are short runs involved.

Nike just dropped this new color combo on us.

And it looks GOOD.

Not only that, the Nike Free X Metcon 2 is one of the best shoes in the Metcon line.

Why?

This shoe will take you from a short run to your gym workout – and back again.

The mesh lightweight and stretchy upper offers great breathability and comfort.

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — The mesh upper feels super comfortable. And it’s got a great bootie like fit.

But it is a Metcon shoe – so it is durable and responsive as well – letting you reach all your fitness goals.

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — The sole is composed of two kinds of rubber – and gives great grip in the gym.

Let’s take a closeup look at the mesh uppper. The fabric is extra durable in high-wear areas.

There’s a midfoot cage (made from TPU) that will lock your foot in place without restricting movement.

As you can see it is integrated with the laces.

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — The midfoot cage is made from tough but flexible TPU – and it integrates with the laces. It provides a very secure fit.

The super-tough outsole rubber wraps up the sides to help resist abrasion during rope climbs.

(Nike tends to call that the “Rope Wrap”.)

Best of all, it has a foam midsole with a firmer foam carrier for comfortable cushioning where you need it. But, it still has stability for heavy weightlifting (think deadlifts, squats, and Oly lifting.)

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — See the black sole area at the midfoot? That’s the "rope wrap".

Flexible? Yes – this shoe has deep grooves (siping) along the outsole allow the shoe to flex and expand in every direction for a lightweight feel as you train.

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — Deep siping (slices/grooves) are another hallmark of the Free running line – this gives you ultimate flexibility in the forefoot.

That’s another key part of the “Free” ethos.

You see, the Free line is meant to better replicate the feel of barefoot running.

And to do that, you need a minimally cushioned shoe – with great flexibility.

Here’s another key running shoe design feature – see those hexagonal blocks?

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — Because it’s a "Free" running shoe – it has hexagonal foam blocks in the sole – for maximum flexibility along both the length and width of the outsole.

That lets the outsole flex along the length AND width – pretty smart.

Nike Free X Metcon 2 - Men's Cross Training Shoe in University Red/Black/White/Team Red — Nike Free X Metcon 2 – Heel pull tabs make this shoe a breeze to put on.

What is a Slam Ball? From the name itself, you can tell that slam balls are meant for slamming. They are weighted, rubber-coated balls that can be used in various exercises to tone and condition your muscles. 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. They are a very easy movement to execute that can be done with minimal skill yet still performed correctly under high levels of exhaustion and stress. The main target of slam dials is your core strength. While lifting the ball over your head [Read more …]
