Under Armour Launches New Workout Leggings – UA Meridian

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Under Armour Launches New Workout Leggings – UA Meridian

Let’s look at the new UA Meridian Leggings. What’s the feature women want most in their workout leggings? Softness. That’s just one of the findings that Under Armour investigated while creating their new line of workout leggings – UA Meridian. These are hot – get them now at Under Armour.com (We are an affiliate): These are the bottoms that make working out feel good. For active women, leggings are a closet staple in their wardrobe. But, you’ll find there are different types of leggings – for different situations. So-called “chill leggings” are meant strictly for around the house wear. They are super comfortable – but not for the active woman. In contrast “yoga leggings” have forgiving stretch that will hold up to any yoga move. And for CrossFit style workouts (functional fitness) you need “high-intensity leggings” – that can stay put in the right place while you move around. But what if there were one versatile bottom that could support a woman through all these movements? So, while soft, comfy bottoms are a woman’s #1 choice – they are often [Read more …]

Nike React Metcon – New Color Combo for Men 2020 – Light Blue

January 23, 2020 clothesadmin 2

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 …]

New Nike Free x Metcon 2 Colorway for Women – Valerian Blue/Photon Dust/Black/Vivid Purple

January 12, 2020 clothesadmin Comments Off on New Nike Free x Metcon 2 Colorway for Women – Valerian Blue/Photon Dust/Black/Vivid Purple

Let’s celebrate the launch of a new color combo of the Nike Free x Metcon 2 in Valerian Blue/Photon Dust/Black/Vivid Purple. This is a women’s variation of this great cross trainer. Why do we love the Free x Metcon 2? That’s what we’ll talk about here – while we show you the great looks of this new shoe. The Nike Free x Metcon 2 is good for boot camps and strength training. Why is that? It’s a crossover between the Metcon line and the Free running line from Nike. You get a great midsole and outsole for running. The “Free” line is meant to better replicate the bare foot running experience. And it does that by providing a lightweight, cushioned sole – but not with too much cushion – as your bare foot running isn’t like running on a pillow! Here’s the “outsole” – or more simply – the sole. See those hexagonal (6-sided) foam blocks? Those mean that the sole can flex along it’s width AND length. Just like your foot will do while running. Secondly the “siping” is [Read more …]

Nike Metcon 5 AMP – New Colorway for 2020

INOV-8 F-LITE G 300 Cross Training Shoe Debut

December 27, 2019 clothesadmin Comments Off on INOV-8 F-LITE G 300 Cross Training Shoe Debut

INOV-8 has launched a new CrossFit training shoe in their F-Lite line. The INOV-8 F-LITE G 300 is available now. If you are accustomed to running shoes, you may find the features of a good cross trainer a bit baffling. But, we’ll explain the key differences here. Let’s take a look at some of the features. This shoe has a 6 millimeter heel to toe drop. That’s an indicator of the amount of heel raise that the shoe has. It’s not unusual for a running shoe to have a 10 mm heel to toe drop. But for the CrossFit WOD we need something more versatile. This shoe has LESS drop than a typical running shoe, and a LOT LESS drop than a “lifter” – which is what we call Oly lifting shoes. Heel raise is good for some things – but a hindrance for others. Since we’ll be lifting, jumping, running, jumping rope, etc. we need a moderate drop for best results. Some of these moves – like the Olympic lifts – are very explosive movements. The snatch and clean [Read more …]
