The Nike Metcon 7 AMP is the version that offers exclusive and limited edition colorways of the shoe. AMP has a superior styling and a cooler look but still has all the features and attributes of Metcon 7.
We got our hands (feet?) on a pair of these as quickly as we could.
This Nike Metcon 7 AMP is just as good as the the regular model for CrossFit style workouts.
Let’s take a tour.
The fit is narrow. It feels tight on my foot. This is like every Nike Metcon shoe for the past several years. I do recommend you go 1/2 size up but it’s very hard for me to give general advice on sizing. I’d rather have a slightly larger shoe – then tighten it down with the laces personally.Let’s start from the bottom (outsole) up. The outsole is made from two different kinds of rubber. There’s more traction up front, and stiffer rubber in the heel for a stable weightlifting platform. There’s flex grooves up in the front too – as you can see.Notice how portions of the outsole – which wraps up around the midfoot to provide protection to the upper while doing rope climbs – is translucent. That’s AMP style!The upper is comfortable and seems like it will be very durable.The shoe has regular laces and uses FlyWire. When you tighten the laces, that tightens up the FlyWire, which runs around the inside of the shoe. This makes for a more secure fit.There’s an innovative lace lock tab – just like on the regular M7 – so you can ensure the laces stay put. I like it – it works and it is a lightweight solution.The heel is good and features a TPU (plastic) bump for minimal drag when doing hand stand push ups. This has been a staple item on Metcon shoes for about 1/2 a decade now…Another view of the laces and lace lock tab.Close-up of the heel.Overall, it’s a quality built shoe and it looks good – and it packs the M7 performance features for the gym or the CrossFit box. I recommend this shoe.
Nike Metcon 7 AMP Versus Nike Metcon 7
That’s the regular M7 on the bottom – Nike Metcon 7 AMP on the top. The AMP is fancier, but provides the same benefits.Mild or Wild? You make the choice.No matter which style you go with – just remember these are noisy gym shoes. That firm heel makes a lot of sound on hard surfaces like concrete, sidewalks, wood floors, etc.
Nike Metcon 7 AMP CrossFit Shoe Review – In Summary
The gold standard for weight training is made tougher and more stable for a workout with no limits. Lift, jump, squat, and lunge with the latest styles of Nike Metcon 7 AMP. And with the React foam, you get comfort even if you go intense on cardio.
For an extra $10 the AMP brings some really sharp style – just remember it’s going to perform the same as the regular Nike Metcon 7.

Let’s look at the Hats that Rogue Fitness has on offer. Wearing a hat is beneficial not only for sports but also in everyday life. Wearing a hat is more than just a fashion statement; it has several practical uses. Before we dive in, let’s check out these cool hats from Rogue. Here’s some of the styles we are going to look at: Hats from Rogue – Overview There are different kinds of hats, but the reason why people wear them boils down to the same reasons. Wearing a hat protects your eyes, face, and hair from the sun. Going out is unavoidable, and it’s a hassle to always bring an umbrella, so wearing a hat is a convenient option. Another reason for wearing a hat is to regulate body temperature. During summer, they prevent the sun’s direct heat, helping you maintain a lower body temperature, while in winter, it keeps the heat to your body. Rogue has different kinds of hats not only so you can look good but also to protect you from the sun and other elements. [Read more …]

Let’s review the Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates from Fringe Sport. What’s a Ruck Weight Plate? It’s a heavy weight that you put in your rucksack (aka backpack) to add resistance and therefore burn more calories when you walk, hike, or “ruck” (as it’s known in the military). Can’t you just use a barbell plate or a dumbbell? Ruck weight plates are a better option because they are a shape and size that will actually fit into your backpack. And leave you enough room to pack other important stuff. DISCLAIMER: Fringe Sport provided the equipment in this article for review. Here’s the complete set of Ruck Weight Plates that Fringe Sport has to offer: Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates – Overview The Bonehead Ruck Weight Plates are made from solid cast iron, and receive a black powdercoat finish. The most important thing about these is the weight. After all, we use plates to add resistance to work harder and grow stronger. All of these weigh in at or over the advertised weight. That’s good because if you are participating in a GORUCK [Read more …]
