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.

As you can see, this shoe is part of Nike’s FREE running line – Free is meant to better replicate the feel of barefoot running. How is that done on this shoe? The wide fit, the hexagonal foam blocks, the deep siping, and more.
The upper is made from a breathable mesh. It’s a very comfortable shoe – and it breathes well.
