Nike has dropped some new styles of their excellent Nike Metcon 5 this month.
Here’s “Black/White/Gunsmoke/Black”.
The outsole of the Metcon 5 is flat – for stability in lifting weights. It’s really an indoor gym shoe so there is not a lot of deep tread like you would find on an outdoor running shoe.
The Nike Metcon 5 has a 3d printed haptic upper – which is both tough and breathable at the same time.
The "rope wrap" is back on this version of the Metcon. It’s huge – but that’s OK because it looks good.
From the top you can see the overall layout of these shoes. We should note, they are a bit narrow. You may want to go 1/2 size up from your normal size for width.
The laces have "FlyWire" integrated – this helps to really lock the fit in on your foot. Think of it as a light-weight mid-foot strap – almost like that on a weightlifting shoe.
The heel has some handy stats printed on it. One of the things it calls out is the 4mm heel to toe drop (or profile) as listed on the shoe.
Hyperlifts give you an additional 8mm (Mens) of heel to toe drop. This makes it easier to "get low " on squatting movements.

Here’s the latest hot style of the Nike Metcon 7 – the Nike Metcon 7 Fitter Together Edition. The Metcon 7 is a greatly enhanced model with some upgrades. It replaces the insole-based form factor and has several other components that make it more versatile than the previous model. Want it? Here’s some of the styles you can get now from ROGUE FITNESS: Nike Metcon 7 Versus Nike Metcon 6 – Our Review To test this product, we got hands-on and in-depth. (This is an different color way – but it’s the same basic shoe) Here’s what we found: Metcon 7 no longer has the Hyperlifts and perforated upper but is now using the React foam and has rock-solid stability. It is one ounce lighter than the earlier version and has deep pre-formed flex grooves in the forefoot. Metcon 7 has a wider heel for more reliable stability and will benefit those in weightlifting. The shoe has a big rope wrap around the side at the midfoot while the exterior is very firm, and the inside is React foam enhanced [Read more …]

Reebok surprised us all by dropping a new flavor of the Reebok Nano 9 – it has a brand-new woven jacquard upper. … and it looks great! This is “Cold Grey 4 / Cold Grey 7 / Toxic Yellow” (Product code: FU9372). Some stores are calling this the Reebok Nano 9 Beast – and you can probably guess why – these are two dark and foreboding color patterns. But, the official names are “BLACK / TRUE GREY 8 / TOXIC YELLOW” and the slightly lighter “COLD GREY 4 / COLD GREY 7 / TOXIC YELLOW”. Here’s the other option. Where can you get these? Your best bet is right from the source, Reebok.com: What’s a “Jacquard” upper? That refers to a special weaving process by which the pattern is woven into the material. Here’s an up-close look. As you can see, this is a much more refined and sophisticated look as compared to the normal FlexWeave upper on the Reebok Nano 9. Will this new upper be as durable? We don’t know for sure yet, but I can tell you [Read more …]
