Nike Metcon Sport Review

[@ObesetoBeast]

Best new shoe of 2019! Especially if you got them wide feet!

[@dbut5427]

Ordered and cannot wait.

[@krylonkidz209]

I love them ... I got wide feet and these felt perfect ... and love the unique look !!

[@thomasjohn3392]

Is it good for basketball? Or you just using it for working out

[@acfrm601]

@@thomasjohn3392 I have the same question

[@brianhogg358]

Water shoes? They look like the future Nike shoes from Back to the Future 2!

[@zaeskywalker]

Would you reccomend these to a casual lifter? squats, deadlifts, and cleans, bench, occasional cardio over the nano 6's?

[@chicklesandpip1269]

Yes

[@mariochacon4717]

Purchased these shoes for my KB workouts. Love them

[@k0mgn]

What the creed shoes should’ve been!

[@Saucey65]

It seems like a really dope shoe. I'm waiting for Nike to do some better colorways or drop a good sale on them.

[@litchlynn2560]

Got the black on black for 30$ off at Academy Sports website with the

[@arturohernandez2313]

They cost $74.99 at academy in all 3 color ways until 8/10/19

[@zeroman614]

Look, a redesigned Jordan Trunner. Not a bad thing.

[@cooliobum]

Really annoying ticking sound in the background....

Oh shit I thought it was my headphones haha

[@NBDG713]

Have a ? Are they good for kickball 🤔

[@erikb6576]

Thanks for the review - just wanted to let you know I think something is wrong with your microphone. I can hear this quick repeating beating noise in the background, and I found to to be pretty distracting while trying to listen to you. Hopefully its something you can fix for future videos!

[@jorgegonzalez2066]

Clean clean

[@sangxu6876]

I tried these on at the store and I went half size down because my heels were slipping up.

[@dbut5427]

Definitely a powerlifting shoe it seems

[@streetmarine]

They are the exact copy of the jordan Turner but I'm sure these fit a lot easier turners aren't very comfortable to wear

[@GBlackshear1]

I like these 100% better than the Fly-Knit 3 which is stiff and heavy. They are wider, move so much better AND are far more comfortable. If you actually move in different planes of motion in your workouts it blows the Fly-Knit 3 AWAY! A lot of freedom for your foot to move.

[@masumsarkar64]

I am looking for shoes for doing cardio and a little bit weight lifting should I buy this? It is available within 64$ (deal price) instead of 100$, is it worth it?

[@robertcooper7827]

Still to date the best shoe for my wide, flat footed people like myself

[@SirCharles824]

did u go actual size or half/1 size bigger?

[@robertcooper7827]

@@SirCharles824 I did actual size. Still in my opinion the best Nikes in metcon line for training for my foot type but I’ve changed over to the Viktos Core shoe and they are my go to for everything. Not a big runner, maybe a mile at a time and those are my current favorite

[@MylesJayy]

@@robertcooper7827agreed, I have a really wide foot.These shoes and the first Free Metcons have fit my foot perfectly like a glove.

[@S4h4r4s]

Perfect fit, budget shoe, lightweight, toes wiggable, secure and loose, texture feels and look premium, foot feels protected to train, rep squats for me, and not bad for deadlifts either twice my weight, add thick socks for solid fit...

[@Vincent-vx8ex]

Lateral stability is exactly what i need and isnt all that common in nike training shoes....other than these what nike trainers would you suggest for someone that does alot of explosive lateral movements?

[@sikkuntche349]

Couple questions: 1.should I sprint in my Nike frees or these shoes? 2.what about jumping and triple jumping and long jumping, which shoes is best free rns or these? 3. Are Nike free rn or these shoes better to walk in? 4. Are Nike frees rns or these shoes more stylish?

[@AMRAP]

1/2 these, 3 free, 4 personal preference.

[@hinetimes]

metcon 5 are out there, must have been an early release

[@lukegraydon6266]

I like the Velcro closure but how long will those embossed letters last? I also just can't get the clown shoe appearance out of my mind when I see you using them.

[@diogolubraniamato5891]

Hello friend. Is that good for rope climbing?

[@Extraschmedium]

Please do the Altra HIIT xt 2!

[@nKrandom]

So u're saying they do have less cushioning than the Metcon 4s? Like in the balls of the foot area?

[@AMRAP]

Yes, 100%

[@LightningGentleman]

This is pretty disconcerting. I'm already not wild about running in my Metcon 4s.

[@nKrandom]

@@LightningGentleman Haha not at all - I bought my Metcon 4s mainly for strenght training (anything except of squats and bench press) and for me the could be flatter and less cushioning (at the balls of the foot). The problem is I love them because my feet are extremly narrow - but the Metcon Sport obviously have have a extremely wide toebox...

[@sonsauvage]

I just wish they combined the strap with laces. I'm not comfortable with just having a strap locking me down and I worry about the durability of the strap and velcro, but they fit well. Toe box is wide as *FUCK* but it works despite me having narrow feet. I have to crank the strap though. For now I still prefer the flyknit 3's for training. I don't do crossfit or run in my metcons though, I only lift and skip rope so take that as you will

[@cooperdalton961]

for a bodybuilder, would you recommend these over nobull shoes?

[@AMRAP]

I think it could go either way. These would be better if you had a wider foot.

[@gamerfever94]

How do these compare to the free x metcon?

[@AMRAP]

Microwaved Lettuce I think they’re better for certain things, but not better all around. If you can get fxm at a discount, I’d prefer those.

[@thuirwyne]

The Metcon 4s are a little big and the Metcon Free, same sizing are too snug. Where would you say these fit for sizing?

[@jonathankulesa]

I just picked up a pair today, and I'd say go true to size... These are nice n wide, and fit perfectly...

[@thuirwyne]

@@jonathankulesa ok thank you! I'll get some too.

[@Pelon5211]

These shoes were meant for athletes who want to focus on linear, lateral, and COD. It is definitely not meant for "crossfit" workouts.

[@AMRAP]

Cesar Gutierrez who said so? You?

[@Pelon5211]

As Many Reviews As Possible the shoes description.. lol

[@Pelon5211]

As Many Reviews As Possible hence the word “sport”. Why do you think it has somewhat of a turf bottom? Why would Metcon make a cheaper shoe for the same purpose? Lol

[@AMRAP]

@@Pelon5211 Why wouldn't they? They did that with the Metcon Repper and since haven't had another shoe to fill in the $100 mark to compete with Reebok's Speed TR. Anything that has the "Metcon" name is designed around being able to be used as a CrossFit shoe first, which is what makes them so versatile to use for other forms of training. Metcon (metabolic conditioning) is a term coined by CrossFit, but is Nike's way to brand their "CrossFit" shoes without being licensed.

[@AMRAP]

@@Pelon5211 STABILITY TO LIFT HEAVY AND CUT HARD. The Nike Metcon Sport is designed for heavy weightlifting like all Metcons, but is updated for increased agility during explosive movements and speed drills. Benefits Strap provides midfoot containment you can customize. Stretchy sleeve lets you slip the shoe on and off easily. Mesh vamp has a textured look and feel. Drop-in midsole features raised sides to enhance lateral stability. Synthetic skins around the toe and heel add durability. Rubber outsole is flat for stability during heavy weightlifting. Aggressive traction pattern enhances grip for speed and agility moves, even on turf.

[@wilaustu]

Do you think you would be able to got down .5 or 1 size to improve the toe-box fit without making it too tight in the ankle?

[@AMRAP]

Possibly a half size if you don't have Morton's toe like I do.

[@williamzhang915]

I'm considering metcon sport vs flex control tr3. Most of my activity is for jump rope and walk, little jog and sprint. Wondering what shoes will you choose ?

[@AMRAP]

Metcon sport

[@BlackPawGaming]

you can return used shoes with stains?????

[@AMRAP]

within 30 days for nike.

[@Pockets96]

What's your go to gym bag

[@MrZwiner]

Would you go with the original Metcon Free on sale for $80ish or these Metcon Sports for $100? Using for regular gym lifting/training.

[@AMRAP]

I’d say the Metcon frees since they’re cheaper but if you’re doing heavy deadlifts and squats, these.

[@brianhogg358]

Sad that they're not available in Canada.

[@garymarley7525]

SportChek has them online for $134.99

[@bw_merlin]

Is there something wrong with your mic again as I can hear something beating constantly.

[@kgmvp8607]

do they squeak ?

[@lth1999]

late response, but after about 5 months of wearing them the only time they squeak is when you roll your foot side to side.. and i can’t think of any reason of doing that so no they don’t really squeak

[@arkinoss6722]

Would you recommend me this shoes for doing gym? (running, weightlifting, jumping the rope)

[@chicklesandpip1269]

Yes

[@Whatacomedian_]

Anyone with narrow feet wear these?

[@Rocket4ce]

Thanks for the great review. I think imma pass on them. Something about velcro on my shoes really gets on my nerves for some reason. It's like I'm not 2 anymore.

[@GBlackshear1]

Are all crossfit exercises in the sagittal plane? You guys NEVER rotate or move laterally under load with locomotion and level change? If so, you're ignoring 2 of the 3 planes human beings are designed to move in. To each his own, but I don't see how that could possibly be a "functional" workout. I mean, we have to rotate just to walk. Contralateral reciprocation is nowhere to be found in these workouts. So you have no idea how these shoes you're reviewing perform outside of the sagittal plane? WHAT am I missing here?

[@Titanic19127]

I bought these because I use them when lifting, deadlifts and heavy lifting.. no running. These shoes are very FLAT

[@AMRAP]

M&N Distribution some people like running in flat shoes

[@Titanic19127]

As Many Reviews As Possible Geeze yeah, my feet aren’t flat, I know some people have them

[@stefanomagaddino6868]

Sorry Joel, I usually agree with your reviews 95% of the time, BUT I gotta say DEM BE SOME UUGGLLY "SHOES".
