The Reebok Nano 9 is the OFFICIAL CrossFit Training Shoe for the year 2019 and 2020.
It’s the only shoe that has the CrossFit stamp of approval on it.
And that’s not just because there is a contract between Reebok and CrossFit – this is a very good shoe for cross training, functional fitness, and the CrossFit WOD.
We’ll tell you a bit about it, while we showcase some of the newest styles.
Purple is the name of the game (oops, I mean GRAPE PUNCH.)
Lastly, another great style – the Reebok Nano 9 – Black/White/Porcelain
Looks good from the side profile too.
This is a HOT color style. I’d call it shades of orange, but it is really Reebok Nano 9 – Black/White/Porcelain
Here’s the two piece outsole – for better flexibility and movement from heel to toe.
The neon green sole accent on the Reebok Nano 9 – Black/White/Porcelain is a nice touch.
This is a nice, dark shoe, but has some pop to it thanks to the dark greys.
The rubber protection wrap and heel almost look like Black Mulitcam – and that’s for a reason.
Like it dark? This might be the color combo for you.
This special edition (Reebok Nano 9 – Black/Cold Grey 7/Grey) has a unique emblem on the tongue.
Here you can see the CrossFit name right on the heel of the Reebok Nano 9 – Black/White/Matte Gold
What you can’t see in this picture is the 4mm "heel to toe" drop. That’s the height difference between your heel and toes – and it’s pretty low-profile. Why? Because that makes the most versatile shoe. Unlike a running shoe or a lifter – these shoes have to do it all – jumps, climbs, sprints, squats, etc.
Showing the 3/4 view of the shoe. It looks great.
The gold flecks in the rubber protection wrap and Reebok isnignias are a very nice touch.
Here’s an understated but tough looking colorway – Reebok Nano 9 – Black/White/Matte Gold
Here’s another close-up of that FlexWeave upper. Another nice touch is the color coordinated premium laces. Reebok Nano 9 are some of the BEST looking training shoes in 2020.
From the top we can see a BIG reason everyone loves the Reebok Nano 9. It’s the wide "toebox" champ of training shoes. If Nike and other shoes are too narrow, the Reebok Nano 9 may be your best bet.
See the blue rubber on the lower heel in this shot? That’s the tough but soft rubber protection wrap.
The Reebok Nano 9 has a thickly padded tongue and laces – this is a traditional way to get the best fit on a shoe – and it’s traditional for a reason – it’s what works best!
Black/Seaport Teal/Humble Blue is a great looking color combination.
And of course this is the OFFICIAL CrossFit Shoe for 2019 and 2020 – it’s even got the name right on the heel (No other shoe can do this!)
Reebok styling cues are apparent throughout.
There’s a soft but tough protection wrap around all the high wear areas of the shoe – which helps ensure these last a LONG time.
The Reebok Nano 9 has a bootie construction to provide ultimate performance comfort. The heel support is excellent.
Flexweave is back with the Reebok Nano 9 – but this is a newer version. Flexweave Technology weaves fibers into a figure-8 to create a strong, flexible upper – and it breathes well too.

Let’s look at the new generation Cloud X training shoe from On Running. On Running is known for their feather-light and highly cushioned running shoes. Does their design fit into the cross training shoe market? That’s what we’ll review here. Here’s some of the styles available now: Cloud X Training Shoe – Video Review on our YouTube Channel Why read when you can watch? Check out this video from our YouTube channel: Cloud X Training Shoe – Overview All right, let’s talk about the tech. First of all, let me say this is a very light-weight training shoe. A Men’s Size 11 (US) weighs in at only 9.2 ounces. That, in and of itself, doesn’t tell you much – but consider that a Reebok Nano X in the same size is in the 14 ounce range, as is the Nike Metcon 6. When you put these shoes on the lightweight feeling is immediately apparent. How do they do this? First of all the upper is thin and breathable. It’s got perforations up front – you can see some ( a [Read more …]
