Last week, Nike launched some new colorways (color combinations) for their Nike Metcon Sport shoe.
The Nike Metcon Sport is part of the “Metcon” line of shoes – that’s code for “CrossFit”.
These shoes are cross trainers – and they let you lift, run, jump, and more.
What’s the new styles?
Here we have String/Dark Smoke Grey/Pale Ivory.
Nike Metcon Sport – It’s the agility cross training shoe from Nike.
It’s a slip-fit shoe – with no laces, but the midfoot strap keeps things secure.
The Nike Metcon Sport have a comfortable fit and feel. Not only are they great for agility, but they are very comfortable as well.
The midfoot strap uses a hook and loop (aka Velcro) closure. This let’s you dial in the right amount of security.
From the heel view, you can see the pull tabs on the heel and throat – these help you put the shoes on easily.
The Nike Metcon Sport has a much more aggressive tread as compared to the other shoes in the Nike Metcon line. This makes it a great shoe for drills on grass or turf.
Nike says “STABILITY TO LIFT HEAVY AND CUT HARD.”
The other great thing about these shoes is that they are only $100 or so.
That’s much cheaper than the other shoes in the line.
Another great colorway that has just debuted is Black/Thunderstorm/White/Total Orange.
That deep tread outsole is color coordinated with the upper – not that anybody will see it much!
Nike Metcon Sport in Black/Thunderstorm/White/Total Orange is a bold, but versatile color combination.
Nike’s swoosh logo is present – but is minimal.
The drop-in midsole can be seen from the top view. It wraps up high around the sides of your feet – to ensure it doesn’t move when you cut hard.
The stretchy mesh fits comfortably and is breathable.
Tighten the midfoot strap as much, or as little, as you like. The fit is customizable.
Here’s a good side shot of that aggressive tread on the bottom. The Nike Metcon line are largely meant to be use indoors – but the Sport has more tread depth than the others. It should work on grass and turf.
The Nike Metcon Sport is lacking the prominent "rope wrap" found on other Nike Metcon shoes. This is OK, because few people really do rope climbs.
The heel to toe drop on the Nike Metcon Sport is minimal – as it is for most of the metcon line. This means versatility.

Let’s take a look at the latest Nike Metcon 7 styles. Metcon 7 is Nike’s most advanced and the most versatile Metcon yet. It is a cross-training shoe that provides a better range of motion and extends much better cushioning than standard weightlifting shoes for CrossFit or Olympic weightlifting. Get these from Rogue Fitness: Nike Metcon 7 – Overview Metcon 7 is an advancement from the previous versions and represents the new gold standard in weight training. It is more solid and now uses the React foam for excellent comfort and lock-down lace tabs to stop untying during high-intensity training. This shoe has a wide, flat, and flexible heel with an inner plate and disperses weight from edge to edge for enhanced stability. 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. This makes better forefoot so you can do any exercise that lands on your toes. The rubber tread [Read more …]

Nike’s React Metcon shoe is the first Metcon shoe to incorporate their proprietary React foam cushioning system. Why? For high-impact comfort AND stability. The Nike React Metcon takes a lot of inspiration from the Nike Metcon 5. You’ll notice the outsole and rope wrap are identical. And this means you get the stability and traction from the training original. Buy you also get Nike’s most comfortable cushioning – React foam. With this, you can tackle any high-impact (box jumps, sprints, jump rope, etc.) and lifting workouts with a light, breathable upper and durable grip to keep you going. Here’s the outsole. See the similarities? Where’s the React foam? It’s on the inside, in the midsole. You’ll notice from the top view that this shoe takes the same basic shape as the Metcon 5. The upper is made from FlyKnit – which is Nike’s knit yarn-like material. Just be aware that it is a double layer FlyKnit -so it is not quite as lightweight as the running shoes that use FlyKnit. Where are the laces? This shoe doesn’t use traditional laces. [Read more …]
