What do you get with the Nike Metcon 5 for women?

It has specific stability for heavy lifting (squats, deadlifts, and Oly lifting).

But it also has traction made for speed, and durability where you need it – thanks to it’s “zoned” durability.

There’s also a small drop-in wedge called a “Hyperlift”.

This insert (which is also compatible with all prior versions of the Metcon) will give you an additional 6mm of heel to toe drop (for a total of 10mm in the women’s shoe.)

What are these good for? Think heel raise for easier squats, wall balls, and pistols.

This is your secret weapon for weight lifting and high-impact training.

You’ll notice that the low, flat heel is also wider – thanks to the diamond shape.

The 3D “haptic” print on the top of the shoe adds lightweight durability where it’s needed. And you can see it’s more dense where there is more wear – and less dense elsewhere.

The directional traction on the outsole wraps up the side of the shoe for grip when climbing a rope and speed when sliding down.

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 …]

Nike has released a new colorway of their Nike React Metcon shoe: Light Armory Blue/Thunderstorm/Black. Here it is: What’s the key feature of the Nike React Metcon? It’s right in the name – React foam cushioning. React foam is a Nike invention that gives you energy return with every footstep. Originally created for their running shoe line, it’s got great carryover to a cross trainer like the Nike React Metcon. That’s because the WOD (Workout of the Day) in CrossFit can require LOTS of different things. Like running, sprinting, jumping, skipping rope – and much more. And for those high impact activities, you need a foam cushion system that is more forgiving than what is in the Nike Metcon 5 and other shoes. That’s where the Nike React Metcon shines. So, how is this wonder of impact cushioning done? The drop-in midsoles are made completely of React foam. (The "midsole" is the part of the sole that sits between your foot and the outsole of the shoe.) So, React foam provides better cushion – but not at the expense of [Read more …]
