Nike has combined 2 of their most popular shoes into one.

I’ve owned the Free in the past and currently lift in Metcon 3’s. I find myself switching out of the Metcon’s in to Ultraboost if I’m going to run sprints or any other type of running cardio. These shoes may eliminate that.

Thoughts?

This is so upsetting. I just got new Metcon 4's for my birthday like a month ago. I wish these would have been out then because they are so damn cool. The white with neon siding is

I'm curious to know how the foot support is for lifts. Before I did a lot of olympic lifting these would have been perfect. Love the style.

I lift in metcon 4s and run in Frees. Combining these just gave me wood.

I have some Metcon 3’s that I really like. I would need to crew socks bc of that tongue on the shoe. Looks like it may be irritating.

Sounds like the Ne Balance Minimus 40.

Just ordered a pair of Metcon X. I had been eyeing the Metcon 4's for awhile now but when I saw these available I bit the bullet. I'll report back after a week of use, mixing in squats, deadlift, and some variations of olympic lifts.

Checked them out. I just don’t see these being a good lifter at all.

For strictly CrossFit, I’d look at the Metcon 4s or Nano 8s

Any opinions on how they feel running? I have the first metcons and they're pretty terrible to do anything besides lifting.

I just got my pair in the mail a few days ago. I got the white w/ neon back. I haven’t ran in them yet but are a comfortable shoe to wear around the gym. Will report back once I Run in them

Update- I finally got these and put them to use a few days. I’m a big fan. Disclaimer- if I’m doing sets of squats/oly lifts I use my lifting shoes.


I just got them and I think they are really awesome for everything but heavy squats or deads. I really liked them on when I used them on a volume day. By heavy, I mean anything over 315. When I go heavy I will not use these.
