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.

The upper is made from a breathable mesh. It’s a very comfortable shoe – and it breathes well.

For a very limited time Rogue is selling the used Competition Bumper Plates from the CrossFit Games 2021. Having IWF-spec competition plates in your home gym is a bit of a luxury because of its price but if you are serious about CrossFit and weightlifting, they are a must. They have advantages and great features that back up the price so you can think of it as a valuable investment. These are marked in pounds, not kilograms. Consider this to be your chance to own a little bit of history: Competition Bumper Plates from the CrossFit Games 2021 – Overview The Rogue Fitness Competition plates are well-made and solid, and they adhere to IWF weight/color specifications.

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. The Nike React Metcon takes a lot of inspiration from the Nike Metcon 5. You’ll notice the outsole and rope wrap are identical. And this means you get the stability and traction from the training original. Buy you also get Nike’s most comfortable cushioning – React foam. With this, you can tackle any high-impact (box jumps, sprints, jump rope, etc.) and lifting workouts with a light, breathable upper and durable grip to keep you going. Here’s the outsole. See the similarities? Where’s the React foam? It’s on the inside, in the midsole. You’ll notice from the top view that this shoe takes the same basic shape as the Metcon 5. The upper is made from FlyKnit – which is Nike’s knit yarn-like material. Just be aware that it is a double layer FlyKnit -so it is not quite as lightweight as the running shoes that use FlyKnit. Where are the laces? This shoe doesn’t use traditional laces. [Read more …]
