Here’s a sharp looking new colorway of the Nike MetconSF – Seaweed/Light British Tan/Green Spark/Black
What’s the Nike MetconSF?
It’s the first all-terrain Nike Metcon shoe.
This shoe repels mud for superior grip and it even has water draining ports to keep your weight down.
Do they work?
Yep – absolutely they do – we know because we tested them.
But there is more to the shoe than just those crazy deep lugs on the boot-like outsole.
The Nike MEtconSF is made from materials that won’t absorb water.
That means when your feet inevitably do get waterlogged – on your mud run or obstacle course race – you’ll shed the extra water weight as quickly as possible.
The upper, insole, and midsole are all made from non-absorbent materials.
But, there’s more.
See that high elastic leg opening?
That’s called a gaiter – and it is there to keep debris out of your shoe – for when you step into the swampy mud.
There’s no traditional laces either.
That means no soggy, muddy laces.
Instead, you get Nike’s innovative speed-lacing system.
You can adjust the fit and feel on the fly at unprecedented speed.
There’s also a hand little pocket to tuck the pull tab away in.
A shoe that is meant to be immersed needs to have a draining system.
The Nike MetconSF has drain ports in the outsole.
You’ll push out water with every step -to prevent excess water weight.
This Metcon shoe also has a boot-like super deep tread.
Why? That’s anti-clogging rubber that also uses a unique spacing of the outsole lugs to provide traction.

Reebok has launched two new colorways of their potent training shoe – the Reebok Nano 9. The new colorways are BLACK / FLUID BLUE / LEMON GLOW for women … and BLACK / WHITE / VIVID ORANGE for men. What’s special about the Reebok Nano 9? For starters, it’s the only shoe that can wear the CrossFit name. You can see it’s right on the heel. This is the 9th iteration of the Nano – and that means they have come pretty close to perfecting this design. It has a relatively low-profile 4mm heel to toe drop. That means your heel is about 4 mm higher than your toes. This means it is a very versatile shoe- and you can use it for running, jumping, lifting, climbing, and more. (In other words, it’s perfect for the CrossFit WOD.) The upper is made from Reebok’s FlexWeave material – it’s tough but breathable because it is woven into a figure 8 pattern (there’s a breathable mesh underneath.) CrossFit athletes need to be able to climb ropes – and the Reebok Nano 9 [Read more …]

The updated rubber wraps along the arch show better traction on rope climbs. The forefoot is a significant change with its four deep flex grooves, including one that splits the whole outsole while allowing the midsole to be seen.
