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.

Earlier in March, Nike released the 6th generation of their trail running shoe – the Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6. This is a serious trail running shoe – and one meant for rocky pathways. We’ll take an up-close look and review all the special features of this great trail runner shoe. You can get this shoe from Road Runner Sports (We are an affiliate): Let’s take a look. Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6 Hands On Review on YouTube We featured this shoe as part of our Nike Trail Shoe Shootout 2020: Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6 Trail Running Shoe First of all, this is a trail running shoe. It’s specialized for off-pavement running (or walking) on rough terrain. Trail running shoes normally have deep, boot-like lugs on the outsole – for maximum traction. You can see the Terra Kiger 6 has an aggressive tread pattern with deep lugs – as you’d expect. This shoe is interesting because there is a rubber pod incorporated in the center (at the midfoot) for wet traction. You can see that it [Read more …]

Let’s take a look at the new Nike React Metcon Turbo from Nike. It’s available now from Road Runner Sports, and others. Our review pair has arrived – and we’ve done our initial testing. Nike’s first version of a React Metcon shoe was an interesting experiment. It featured a number of innovations such as a “Forged FlyKnit” upper, quick lace system, and a removable midsole based on React foam, rather than Nike’s normal dual-density foam. Did it all work? No – not in my opinion. The Forged Flyknit was bulky and uncomfortable, the quick lace system was a flop, and to top it all off, it was adorned with ostentatious NIKE text. I’m happy to say Nike has fixed all those issues with the new Nike React Metcon Turbo training shoe. Here’s some of the styles that are available now: Let’s take a look.
