Nike has released new colorways of the Nike React Metcon for January 2020.

Let’s take a close look.

There are unique styles for both Men and Women.

Pricing is unchanged at about $150 US.

Nike React Metcon
Heel view of the Nike React Metcon for women. You’ll see that the knife edge heel from the Nike Metcon 5 is in use – this means minimal drag against the wall when performing HSPUs (Hand Stand Push Ups)

Nike React Metcon
You can see on the Women’s version of the shoe the grippy heel piece that says Metcon is white. It looks good.

Nike React Metcon
From the top you can see the quick pull lacing system – and that great looking subdued NIKE text. It’s a great looking shoe!

Nike React Metcon
All the performance attributes of the Men’s shoe are here in the Women’s version. The rope wrap, quick pull lacing system, flyknit upper, etc.

Nike React Metcon
Here’s we have the Women’s version of the Nike React Metcon in White/Atmosphere Gray. Notice the NIKE label here is very subdued – that’s pretty cool as it is still a great looking shoe.

Nike React Metcon
The Nike React Metcon uses the outsole from the Nike Metcon 5 unchanged. It has the same "sticky" rubber up front for traction, with firmer, more durable rubber in the heel for weightlifting stability. It’s an indoor style of pattern – those grooves are not very deep – this is definitely not a trail running shoe.

Nike React Metcon
The heel view shoes us the overall shape of the shoe. The “METCON” name looks very nice – and it’s made from a grippy rubber that has a great feel to it – but it’s not really functional in any way.

Nike React Metcon
The inside view of the shoe shows that massive rope wrap – and the flyknit upper. You can also see the pull tab on the back of the heel – that helps you put these tight fitting shoes on.

Nike React Metcon
From the top we can see that bold NIKE label. It’s too much for some people, but doesn’t look bad to me. The Nike Swoosh is on the side of the shoe, but is pretty minimal.

Nike React Metcon
Being based on the Nike Metcon 5 – that massive "Rope Wrap" is on the shoe. This will help you climb rope like no other shoe – because it is tough and has a great tread pattern for grip – but it does add quite a bit of heft to the shoes – these weigh in at the mid 13 ounce mark for a Men’s size 11.5 pair.

Nike React Metcon
The White/Atmosphere Gray/Black color combination looks really sharp. This is a Men’s show model. Here you get a good view of the FlyKnit upper and the bold NIKE label along the top.

Nike React Metcon Drop-in Midsole
The big change with the Nike React Metcon (which is based on the Nike Metcon 5) is the drop-in midsole – which is shown here. It’s made from single density React foam – Nike’s advanced cushioning system that provides bounce and rebound.

(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.

Let’s review the new weightlifting shoe from Nike – the Savaleos. Nike launched latest weightlifting shoe on April 1st and we’ve now done our full review. Previous Nike weightlifting shoes were solely used for weightlifting, whereas Savaleos connects cross-training and weightlifting. This means you can use it in doing burpees and then head straight to deadlifts without changing your shoes. (Or so Nike claims) What’s the verdict? Read on to find out. Here are some of the styles that are available now: Let’s take a look at this new shoe. Nike Savaleos – Video Review on our YouTube Channel Why read when you can watch? Check out this video from our YouTube channel: What’s the bottom line? This shoe is great! It’s more affordable (as compared to the Romaleos) but still gets the job done. Overall it feels less clunky because it has slightly less heel raise (but still enough), it’s lighter, and it even has a tiny bit more cushion.

Now that the Nike Metcon 6 is out – the Metcon 5 is getting hard to find – but Rogue Fitness still has the Metcon 5 for sale. Are the current Nike Metcon 5 styles (Nike calls them “colorways”) too tame for you? Then feast your eyes on the Nike Metcon 5 AMP in Black / Fire Pink / Green / Strike Blue Fury. The Nike Metcon 5 AMP is a colorful addition to the Nike Metcon 5 line of shoes. These shoes are popular for expanding the boundaries of the modern cross-training shoe performance. Thanks to the ultra stable heel and outsole they offer increased stability for weightlifters , but still have greater flexibility in the forefoot for runners. CrossFit shoes also need to be tough. The Nike Metcon 5 uses durable, haptic 3D print on the mesh upper that will offer superior durability- especially in the high-wear areas. This is because the print is applied more densely in the areas that get the most wear – like on the edges of the toebox, for example. And hey – [Read more …]
