Reebok Nano 9 Review

[@wsxaris1686]

Reebok has always been the best shoe I've ever purchased. My last pair i bought lasted years without any damage. And im glad glad reebok brought back the old logo

[@b_ryc]

I honestly think these are some of the best looking crossfit shoes I’ve seen! They look comfy too.

[@shezzallee]

I love the nano 9. Best shoe for skipping, running, weightlifting. I just bought my second pair. :D

[@luisherrarte9787]

Great review, thank you for keeping your reviews as real and objetive as possible, I just can’t justify buying another pair of nanos but I will probably buy this anyway, it’s probably one of the better looking nanos in my opinion and the performance seems to be great.

[@redteamdown1]

I seriously appreciate your reviews man! I like how you back up your points with your personal experiences and make the obvious comparisons to other nanos and even rf1s. Keep up the great work!

[@ObesetoBeast]

[@themasons215]

You're description was on point

[@letscrushweights748]

I was on the fence, but after that description , I’m sold

[@kelekopaulfejeran3954]

Excited to try these because of the fact that you said that they are better than the RF1’s in every aspect! Bold statement I like it thanks for the info!

[@jtcber]

Is it normal to see all those glue visible between the flexwave and the white part of the sole on the right shoe at 8:39?

[@Dokski1989]

Just bought my Nano 8s for around $65 and will be purchasing Nano 9s next year. Haha

[@harazization]

wow I'm so excited about this, can't wait to see it by myself, thank you

[@1REDFACTION]

At first the 9s seemed not as comfortable as my 8s. I have a 2nd pair of barely used 8s so I pulled out both insoles and the 8s are a bit thicker and softer. I put 8s insoles in my 9s and it was a big improvement for me. Now the 9s feel great.

[@joeLTron]

The 9s also take a little more breaking in of the midsole.

[@garythompson1224]

I have a men's Reebok CrossFit Nano 9 which I bought in 2020. I love the shoe. But where on earth can I buy a new pair in the UK in the year 2024?

[@AMRAP]

eBay or Poshmark

[@1223jems]

​@@AMRAPi still have mine and might be looking to get another pair. Outlasted my other shoes and 235v3s.

[@Jerahzz]

What’s your favorite training shoe ever?

[@lukepaulson3428]

I think it’s important to note the slightly larger heel-toe drop on the RF1’s. It’s noticeable enough to me that I don’t squat in them. I prefer a lower platform. Like the 8’s, and now the 9’s.

[@jaydenac]

Heard it’s good to go a half a size down from the Nike metcons? Have you worn metcons before?

[@rtcharge]

I stocked up on 2s still have new pairs in box lol. Ordered a grey gum of these

[@dplifting6686]

Hello mate. May I ask you just for lifting heavy squats and deadlifts are the nano 9 better in stability than metcon 4. I watched your review of metcon 4 and they seemed to be rock solid for lifting. I have been using by now nano 8 and had no problem with stability, but right now I am looking for new pair shoes. Nano 9 seems to me a little high in comparisson to my nano 8 and I am not sure how they will fit for deadlift, because I dont want any aditional deficit. Keep up the good I like your reviews!

[@BLUUYETTI]

Hi I was wondering, how do these shoes hold up almost a year later? I found a good deal on these and am considering getting a pair. I have seen some reviews saying the sole started to delaminate from the rest of the shoe. Do you know if this is a common problem? Thanks for the detailed video reviews!

[@lbselector6703]

Many thanks for the in depth review. How do you rate them in stability for weightlifting in comparison to the metcons? That shrugging in the toebox will happen anytime or just when you tight too much the lacing? I really liked that classic looks and I'm inclined to buy them but I really love my OG metcon 4s..

[@VuManhPhuong]

Do you think that this Nano9 is suitable for heavy squat?

[@AMRAP]

Vu Manh Phuong yeah, I prd my 3rep backsquat at 405

[@SaintlySaavy]

Killing it on squat!

[@jnas13]

Have you heard much on quick wear on the knurling treads? My my forefoot after a month is breaking down very fast as well as even crumbling apart in places. Contacted Reebok about warranty, seeing if anyone else has had these issues. Have only had for a month, 3-4 CrossFit classes a week and only worn outside twice.

[@andresguerrero3792]

Hi joel… you know everything … maybe you can tell me when they will be available in Europe … we are still waiting … anyway , I want to thank you for the reviews, I always found them punctual, useful and truthful … tnx 👍

[@joeLTron]

I heard there was some kind of legal troubles with bringing the shoe out. I'm not sure what exactly that is, but I know launching that late is not something they wanted to do.

[@crazylilpsycho]

I'm looking to get my first shoe geared towards lifting. I don't necessarily do CrossFit, but when the gym is open I do your basic compound lifts, and currently am doing some endurance agility type work. What shoe would you recommend for this entry level shoe buyer. Have considered the Grace, Nano 8, and Nano 9. Thanks

[@AMRAP]

crazylilpsycho nano 9 considering you can almost always get them for half off and they’re the best all around training shoe. CrossFit or not

[@jabbahiggs7039]

Looks promising, I’ll try them,. Hopefully they don’t squish the toes, while doing push-ups, standing on toes, etc. like the previous version do.

[@adamdeutsch6406]

So you’d pick the 9 over the 6? I still find the 6’s to be the best shoe yet. I’m about to get a new pair and I feel like the safe bet would be just to get the black gum 6’s. What do you think? Get the 9’s or 6’s? Also, what was the break in period like with the 9’s?

[@AMRAP]

If you like Nano 6's, get another pair. I personally prefer 9's now, but I still think 6's are one of the best and I'll go back to them depending on the workout. If you want to try something new, get 9's. Break-in isn't too long, maybe a couple days of working out.

[@loiidol]

Hi Joel, would like to ask if you prefer the nano 9s, metcons sports or UA tribase reigns for powerlifting movements? Thanks again for the awesome reviews!

[@AMRAP]

Personally I would take nanos... Even though I do like the tribase, the toespring angle is very aggressive which can be problematic for powerlifting. Metcon sports would be next but they're really big on me... Amazing for $100 though.

[@randycolon2783]

Compared to Metcon 4 XD or NoBull?

[@TheJdmac23]

How are they compared to the RF1

[@gOdfreYkJ]

Is it ok to use this shoes for 7 to 10 km run?

[@wukezhang5864]

CMEVA and IMEVA have no difference as far as cushioning goes fundamentally. It only depends on how dense the manufacturers want them to be. Some of the most cushioned shoes that the mankind has ever seen used nothing but CMEVA. Hoka Clifton 1 for example. The main differences are appearance, cost, durability, and QC procedure.

[@bry9852]

Is there anyway to shorten the laces?

[@grendelz]

I never bought the 8's because I didnt like the look. I only wear 2's and im glad these look more like them. I think they look great. Ill definitely be getting some day one.

[@warrenbrett3758]

Would you choose this over Speed TR?

[@AMRAP]

Warren Brett I sure would. Speeds are awesome but the 9s are just next level.

The last trainer that really gave me the cushion I needed was the New Balance MX80 v3, but they've been discontinued, and the latest iteration of NB Fresh Foam trainers leave a lot to be desired when it come to upper structure and lateral support when doing dynamic moves. Gonna pick up a pair. . .

Yeah, the 9 toebox is wider, but you're losing length. If you have Morton's toe, thats going to be a no-go.

To someone who is just starting in the Crossfit world, would you recommend me this Nano 9 or the Nano 8 works fine now that they are cheaper?

Julio Andres you could get the 8s and be totally fine, but typically beginners need extra stability, so for that reason I’d recommend 9

How much was it on sale

[@adarshshukla3165]

Which is better Metcon 4 or Nano 8.?

[@brocky]

Metcon 4 looks better imo. Nano 8 is better if you like the wide toe box. It's so comfortable from the moment you put it on. It flexes more naturally compared to the Metcon 4. With that said, I have a Metcon 4 and I love it. I just don't think the Nano 8 is good looking enough to wear outside of working out.

[@RatamisPrimeBROGamerNZ]

Have you got a pair of metcon 5's? How do they compare?

[@AMRAP]

Nah, nothing from Nike yet. I think they'll be good though.

It is worth to go 9 from 8? or keep my money.

[@Altimis]

@@AMRAP Thank you for make me easier decision. 8 is ok for me. Maybe I should go something different, real olympic weightlifting shoes perhaps. But 8 still pretty ok. I actually train barefoot though. So I am kinda not sure. I use barely use shoes as all.
