Reebok Nano X Review

[@bren_miller]

Reminds me of a Reebok Classic casual shoe. I am a Nike guy and I actually like the look of these Nano X’s.

[@mokaPCP]

Same they look clean and I usually never like other brands like dat

[@me7469]

Came across a pair of the x1, saw the reviews saying they not durable. So are these any better than the other Nano models?

[@beastinthesky6774]

I watched a bunch of reviews for this shoe, and yours was the best one. You have a manner of speaking that's pleasant and easy to stay engaged with and follow. It also covered a lot of things, like an in-depth exploration (stretching, flexing, close-ups) of the structure and material of the shoes, that I couldn't find anywhere else. I was trying to figure out how breathable it'd be and you illustrated it perfectly. If I'm ever looking for a shoe review again I will absolutely look you up.

[@24REXMAN]

Have no idea why people think it's ugly. Imo, it's now a more versatile shoe and not just a training shoe, it's one that you can also wear outside the gym and doesn't scream gym rat hahaha

[@clawyer27]

Not ugly, but initial colorways are terrible.

[@carlwatts5762]

@@clawyer27 When should we expect to see new colorways?

Just ordered a pair🤘🏽, I've always been team metcon but now it's time to try something else!

[@sergioantonio2510]

On my man, best shoe review I’ve seen in a long time. Even using anatomically correct terminology. “Liked” and “subscribed”.

[@daztorre77]

Does anyone else miss the other logo (delta) on the 4, 6, 7, and 8. Love my 6s and 8s

[@vianouche1]

D. Adrian Torres totally!!

[@khyoon14]

The Delta looks a lot better, yes.

[@tdrmn]

The Reebok old school logo looks sooo much better imo. It's iconic and easily recognizable.

[@mpgunawan]

Absolute no

[@thinbluelinemustang372]

Yep

[@Frankiemaz]

Solid review - I just looked this video up after buying 2 pair and I am STOKED that I bought my normal size. I bought my normal size in the nano 9 and the toe box was just too big. Great review. Also solid lifts :)

[@giovanniamatore267]

I'm not a fan of the look BUT I absolutely love your in depth review and that you address both sides of peoples concerns. Ordered myself a pair to see how they perform and I'm actually looking forward to a little bit more form fitting, so we shall see. Thanks as always good sir! You are the guru and GOAT of all things reviews for this community =]

[@masonbishop7859]

I just received my pair after ordering as part of Early Access. First, they are much heavier and bulkier than the Nano 9. Might be good for olympic or power lifts, but not for box jumps, running, or even pull ups or T2B. The top eye hole rubbed against my ankle and was not comfortable. It felt more narrow through the midsole, which made it uncomfortable. I wear a size 13 shoe and have a fairly wide foot. I do not recommend...the 9's are much more comfortable and usable. My other go to CrossFit shoe is actually the Nano 5's as well.

[@QWKDTSN]

When he holds up the Metcon 5s next to the Nano X at the end there's no comparison, the Nikes look like an athletic shoe and the Reeboks look like a casual pair of sneakers. Just too bulky and too much going on.

[@atreides6]

I agree, Metcons suck.

[@jordanbailey8022]

These X look awesome! May switch to these, Metcons have become too narrow for me. Is the tongue secured in the shoe? I'm not a fan of when they slide to the side

[@AMRAP]

Yeah it's a really good design, the folds prevent it from slipping side to side

[@mattpeters6224]

Just subbed because of the family in the background. Love it! Three generations doing Crossfit.

[@joshuahall7302]

These shoes are hands-down the best cross training shoes I’ve ever owned so far- I have 3 pairs now ... support, durability, versatility... absolute love on my feet

[@abhi.inamdar]

Can I use these for short runs?

[@fusionfitmomfitnessandnutr3333]

The 'heavy' part of the shoe is a downer. I do not want a heavy shoe when doing Crossfit. When doing weightlifting I use my lifting shoes. The Nano 9 is perfect for everything and my fav when it comes to all movements. So think I will skip this one

[@EssDubz]

I have a wide foot and just bought the Nano 9s, let's hope it works out!!

[@WayofTheZach]

I do physical therapy, so I'm not running or weight lifting. I do a lot more in terms of movement, (stepping over cones, planks, trampoline movement, throwing a weighted ball, air squats, etc) stretching, leg press, and balancing (exercises on a foam pad, step movements, etc) so stability is important to me. I need help deciding, do I go with the lighter more flexible Nano 8's or the heavier but more stable Nano X's?

[@jessicamartinez-milligan2018]

I keep thinking I’ll eventually go back and try Nanos...but enough of what you said still have me sticking with my Inov8s. Still my favorites.

[@jasondevault5066]

I had the first generation and loved them. I hope the toe box is as wide as the old design.

[@RodrigoGarciactg]

I have the 8 and love them! Should I cop?

[@zacharybloom5871]

I actually like the grey ones. Not sure what they were thinking putting red and blue on the black ones...looks terrible.

[@MyViiny26]

It's because of their old logo that have the United Kingdom flag on.

[@393Dima]

When comes other colour version out? Because i only like the Black/White Version for the Woman..

[@guyinbox]

Favorite color in person between the black and the grey and gums?

[@bswiprobation]

please review the froning edition as soon as you get them!

[@1rednose11]

I love old school sneakers but not so much on my training shoes. These might grow on me as more colorways are released. Thank you for the honest reviews.

[@johndomith9066]

Hi! In comparison the shape of the tennis (Nano X) is the same as the Nano 9?

[@amusemiciful]

I'm ok with the white and gum but my foot by the arch was off the side in the 9 and they were a 12. Dont think going up a 1/2 size is going to help if they are already more narrow. It might be time jump to the Metcons. 6.0 still the best

[@Keithphotorama]

Awesome video. Important question about box toe. I have Morton’s Neuroma and absolutely cannot wear shoes like Nike that squeezes my toe area, is Reebok Nano X a good choice for people with Morton’s Neuroma?

[@billvaldoumas]

I recently watched a lot of videos with reviews of crossfit shoes and I confess that yours are complete in terms of informing the public a lot. Also your site provides every possible detail for this type of shoe. So I ended up with R Nano 9, after I found them at the price of 90 €. I will wear it at the opening of the gyms on 15/6 (Greece). As of today, I am a regular follower of yours (from Greece). Keep up the great work!

[@kellyhughes1266]

How well do the gum soles do as far as street use? Do they wear ok? Better or worse than normal rubber soles?

[@juanl4206]

Birds sounds in the background??

[@erikc6988]

Do they make the "clap-clap-clap" sound when walking like the metcon 5s?

[@collinbennett9783]

I sincerely hope not.

[@erikc6988]

@@collinbennett9783 Since my comment I bought a pair, and I can confirm the nanos don't make much sound

[@racher94]

Can you wear these in everyday life too?

[@GilWandered]

Is this a good shoe for starting Oly lifts?

[@Simon_E]

Yes. Very solid and stable.

[@edbauerfit]

So looking back from January 6th, 2021, it does look like the next Nano is not the 11 or XI, but X1, as we all learned by now.

[@AMRAP]

Sure is

[@edbauerfit]

@@AMRAP I had to go back to this video to show appreciation for the X as we will not get to know much more about the X1 besides all the pics available on alltricks.com

Are the Nano 9s or Xs good for everyday casual use?

Finally the one review(er) I've been waiting for.

[@olivertopham3076]

I initially wasn´t sold on the look when they were first announced but after looking more closely over the last couple if days I really like the fact they look more complex than the 9. I just ordered me a pair of the grey colourway. Can´t wait to see how they are against my metcon 4 and 2 free´s

[@stevenglen5971]

Do you think I can play some badminton or do some casual shooting some hoops (just shooting, not in game) with these?

[@Bayville90]

[@carissamagee6394]

Can you tell me if the toe box is simular to the nano 8 in width?

[@franceiroca]

I bought Nike Metcon 5 on your advice 42,5 (i am a 42 Nike size) and it’s good. What size would you advice for the reebok nano X? Thanks for your help

[@AMRAP]

franceiroca 42 should be cool.

[@mariuszgarbarczyk5594]

I went 42 in X compare to my daily Nike shoes 41. X are tight in toe box and you have that feeling touching end of the shoe with Your fingers...

[@johnny_bichan]

How do these feel compared to the rf1s?

[@Seize_The_Karp]

how do they compare to the 6's?

[@jesusvoltaireitaralde5978]

Not fan, it's fugly IMO, pass on the X, switching to another brand, Reebok lost me here. 6 is still the best Nano for me

Perfect review, ordered these on sale right now 😁😁😁

Such a thorough review. Well done! I trust your reviews over anything else I see on KZbin. Would you ever consider doing reviews of different running shoes? Maybe you have in the past just thought I'd ask.

[@AMRAP]

I have in the past but to be honest, I'm not much of a runner. I know my shoes but I'll leave those reviews to people that do a lot more miles than me.

Use the adidas flex weave trainers. Thats a great shoe for beginners and all the areas u mentioned would be favorable with those shoes

[@1298armalite]

Never been a Reebok guy, I actually quite like these though. Great review as always.

[@AMRAP]

My first reaction to them was that they didn't look like what the typical Reebok shopper wanted...looks like that worked

[@jeffs70chevelle]

Great review, I've been watching all of your Nano vids deciding which pair to get. For strictly box jumps, mountain climbers, etc do you think the Nano 6, 8 or 9 is best? I have the TR Lite Lo for squats and deadlifts but want to use something else for plyo work

[@AMRAP]

Jeff I would go with 6, 8, 9 if that’s all you were looking to do

Nano 2's fit larger, but i wear the same in both anyways.

[@ScaloraProductions]

What would you recommend me? I am doubting between these or the Lifters PR II. I am more drawn to the lifters due to the name implying they are created for powerlifting. I only do powerlifting and currently have a PR of 275 lbs for deadlifts and backsquats.

[@brocky]

The white and black ones are sick. To me these are the first Nano's that non athletic consumers would find to be nice.
