Reebok Nano X1 Grit Training Shoe Review

The new Reebok Nano X1 Grit Training Shoe has arrived. This is the 11th version of Reebok’s Nano cross-training shoe. It’s no longer hyper-focused on CrossFit, but rather it is now a more well-rounded fitness shoe – the shoe of fitness is what Reebok is calling it. There’s two different uppers available – one that is knit and one that is “Grit” – meaning a tougher upper. We’re going to laser-focus in on the Grit version of the shoe in this review. Here’s some of the styles that are available now: Let’s take a look. Reebok Nano X1 Grit Training Shoe Review – Video from our YouTube Channel Why read when you can watch?

Nike React Metcon Turbo Training Shoe Review

Let’s take a look at the new Nike React Metcon Turbo from Nike. It’s available now from Road Runner Sports, and others. Our review pair has arrived – and we’ve done our initial testing. Nike’s first version of a React Metcon shoe was an interesting experiment. It featured a number of innovations such as a “Forged FlyKnit” upper, quick lace system, and a removable midsole based on React foam, rather than Nike’s normal dual-density foam. Did it all work? No – not in my opinion. The Forged Flyknit was bulky and uncomfortable, the quick lace system was a flop, and to top it all off, it was adorned with ostentatious NIKE text. I’m happy to say Nike has fixed all those issues with the new Nike React Metcon Turbo training shoe. Here’s some of the styles that are available now: Let’s take a look.

Check out this video from our YouTube channel: Nano X1 Sizing The sizing with the Reebok Nano X1 is same as the Nano X – as far as I can tell. I am happy with my normal shoe size of US Men’s 11. It’s long enough and plenty wide in the toebox. The Nano X LOOKS wider – because the outsole has more width to it. But, the internal space for your toes is about the same. This video explains in depth: I’d recommend you order the same [Read more …]
