REEBOK NANOFLEX V2 REVIEW | Great Training Shoes Under $100?

[@rubinaeali]

Dude, your reviews are always so thoughtful and helpful. The fact that you compare this to the Speed 22 TR in your written review so we don't have to compare ourselves...thank you for being so awesome.

[@thatfitfriend]

Ay! That means the world. Thank you so much for checking out the articles and videos, I appreciate it!

[@AshIsAverage]

Just received my pair for only $83 CAD after tax and shipping, was initially going to go for the Nano X2 just for the more premium feel and better colours/look but decided this was probably the better choice for someone who doesn't lift too heavy and wants to incorporate more running into my workouts, especially for $30 less. Thanks for the review Jake!

[@thatfitfriend]

Noice! I hope you like them. Keep me posted and I appreciate you checking out my content!

[@Luceq]

Just bought a pair for working out while travelling. Found that they are better than my nano X1 for weightlifting, and equally good in all the other areas.

[@thatfitfriend]

Right? Reebok made some nice improvements here!

[@GM-ew5tz]

Great review! Just picked these up for 55 from Reebok. Keep up the great content!

[@thatfitfriend]

That's a solid deal. Thank you!

[@complicatedairflow4242]

Bought a pair of these when I first started CrossFit training last year. It’s unbelievable that they lasted me 150 CF sessions. I’m getting another pair as they finally broke down but so good for its price and how comfortable they are for daily wear. Surprisingly durable and manageable for lighter wods. I’d bring these on a business trip out of town while dropping in at local boxes.

[@thatfitfriend]

Love hearing that. Sneaky good when they work for your feet!

[@infinity-uu9dz]

The price is really really nice for a pair of panacea training shoes. I just bought them online for $68 and can't wait to experience them.

[@rafhaelangeles9490]

Another great review! I might get this instead of the reign 4. Thanks again for the awesome review!

Both are solid. Different performances to a degree, but imo, you can't go wrong with either! Thank you!

Got these today after watching the video. Loved them! ✨

[@thatfitfriend]

Awe yeah! Stoked you enjoy them and I was able to help!

[@CliffLawrence7]

Sure did ✨

[@HecsBox]

Their MSRP was bumped to $100, but with a stacked pair of discounts on Reebok's site, one can cop these right now for ~ $45... so with value being one of their strong points at $90, they're a steal now.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@HecsBox new model is either coming or out! Not sure if the Gym replaced these tbh

[@Keebnator]

Really nice video. I think you mentioned it a bit, but do you think this shoe will fit well for lateral movement for sports like table tennis or pickleball? I used to do crossfit but kinda moving to racket sports at this time, but doesnt hurt for the shoe to be able to do many thing I guess. I still like my nano 9 I bought several years ago

[@thatfitfriend]

Think these would be fine for that context!

[@attilionisco6617]

Hello Jake! thank you for all your reviews ... I have been watching your videos and reading your blog for 2 days! I am searching for a versatile shoes for lifting and also for some pre/after wo short runs. I have 3 options at the moment: 1) nanoflex v2 at 40$ 2) nano x2 at 90$ and 3) project rock 5 at 75$ ... which one would you pick? Is it worth to go for the nano x2 at 50$ more?

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you for checking out the content! In re: Nano X2: Not necessarily especially if you are trying to be really mindful of your budget. I think if you're not super specific with your training, then the V2 would work well and save you money!

[@toniperezgarcia4438]

I have been wearing the reebok nano 9 shoes for 4 years for recreational gym training and I love them, you think this shoes will last the same?

[@thatfitfriend]

Ehhh, may not last the exact same because newer models don't seem to be built the same. But I have had multiple folks say these have been stellar for their price regarding long-term durability. Mine have held up well

[@krakatoasundra]

Thank you, these are definitely a step in a good direction!

Yep! Should be same same. Thank you!

[@dfdafonso]

Hi and tks for another great review! How do you compare this with the Reebok HIIT 2 ?

[@thatfitfriend]

This model is better for lifting/cross-training while the HIIT model gives you more cushion for jumping etc. Both good, but have biases based on how you want to use them!

[@ncljoy]

I got mine 50% off for $60CAD although I don't do training, they are a very nice pair that caught my eye. Hoping for it to arrive soon

Yah, I think they'd be fine for your context. And thank you!

[@lukaszpowalowski8342]

Would they hold up well in outdoor calisthenics? I mostly train with resistance bands and bars, with some dynamics and running thrown into the mix.

[@thatfitfriend]

They won't replicate your Speed TR 2.0s, unfortunately, but they should hold up well in this context. Also, low-key...I feel like this is just as strong as the Nano X2 which is the more "premium" model from Reebok 2022. I've been impressed with the Nanoflex V2. It's not perfect and it's not a Speed TR 2.0, but for $90 (and less if you can find a coupon code), they're a solid model.

Reebok Crossfit Sprint 2.0, these were my absolute favorites. Now I can't find any reebook shoes that are close to them. Which ones do you think are most similar to these? ( i dont like Nano x2 ) need shoes that are light and I think the nano shoes are heavy. am now interested in these you talk about here

[@thatfitfriend]

These are lighter than the Nano X2, but they don't have that same lean build that the Sprint 2.0s did. Have you checked out the Reebok Speed TRs on Ebay/other retailers to see if they have any in your size? Are you interested in exploring other brands?

[@brianxdx1993]

[@SportingEinstein]

Has Reebok redesigned the heel padding and shape to eliminate the previous razor blade like design?

[@thatfitfriend]

Yes! This model is MUCH better on that front.

[@seraphoem]

Hi Jake, been thinking about this for the past few weeks, but what model of Reebok is currently the closest in experience to the Nano 4? I know Reebok’s brought the heel-to-toe drop to 7mm starting with the X1, so I was hoping to see if Reebok still has a fairly-indestructible training shoe with a flatter profile.

[@thatfitfriend]

Unfortunately, none at this time. I don't believe they have a trainer that replicates the Reebok Nano 4-X, honestly, which is a bummer.

[@seraphoem]

@@thatfitfriend Oh, that’s unfortunate, yeah. I am hoping the Nanoflex v2 could at least come close, though I am seeing the MC Trainer 2 is cheaper in my area.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@seraphoem it is in some ways, but not in the context of heel to toe drop. The MC Trainer 2 is decent! Not my fave for CrossFit, would you Nanoflex V2 over that shoe there

[@seraphoem]

@@thatfitfriend Should be okay with either shoe--need the budget shoe more for walking and lighter/warmup work--but I do need to take the chance to fit and test each shoe when I can go out. Your comment about the MC Trainer 2 being a poor fit for wide feet shows a bit of a problem for me with that model, so I'm still leaning more toward the Nanoflex v2.

[@meaghanjonathan1788]

Hey! I am interested in your thoughts on what shoes I should buy. I am trying to avoid buying multiple shoes so I want something as universal as possible. I do circuit training 3x per week and then weight lifting 3x per week. I was looking at the nanoflex tr2 , nano x3, Nike Metcon 5s, . But I'm also curious what you would suggest?

[@thatfitfriend]

All of them will work well. Nike Free Metcon 5 will be the most flexible and best for HIIT/circuit, Nanoflex TR 2 would be my next suggestion as it's a good jack of all trades for a good price, and Nano X3 is also solid but I'd list them last here.

[@shaheerriyad8458]

would you recommend this over the mc trainer 2?

[@roostkf]

Hi Jake, can you help me out. would you recommend the nanoflex TR 2.0 or the Nano x2 for all CrossFit training?

[@thatfitfriend]

Both work fine, the Nano X2 is prone to breaking for rope climbs, though, so I'd limit their use in that context!

[@MH3GL]

Jake, I am looking to replace my Nike Zoom Speed TR 3 (probably the best gym shoe I've ever owned - love the low rise, wide, flat sole). Do you feel these would be a comparable replacement? If not, do you have a better recommendation??

[@thatfitfriend]

These could be okay, I'd also look into the Mizuno TS-01, Born Primitive Savage 1, and Adidas Dropset Trainer 2!

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

These have a beautiful retro vibe. Amazing for $100. How do they compare to the Adidas Dropset, which I have sitting in my cart?

They're solid! Better for CF if you plan to use em in that context. Also a bit more comfortable for versatile work.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

@@thatfitfriend Cheers! Was also looking at the Nano X2 Adventure but eyeing the GoRuck Ballistic Trainer. Digging the latter for the roomy toe box and versatility for casual wear. And customer service. You seem to be the only reviewer who actually uses these shoes! 😅👏🏽

Thank you for the great review. I do CF 4/wk. and my weights have been light to medium. I am currently using running shoes brooks glycerin that has extra cushion. Planning to buy a CF specific shoe that is affordable. At 90USD I am getting nano x2 on deal and nanoflex v2 full price. I am also getting nanoflex older version at 50-60 USD. As I will be moving from a running shoes, What will be your recommendation?

Nano X2 is a solid option and the Nanoflex V2 is equally good. Maybe go Nano X2 since they're typically higher price and you're getting a sick deal on them!

I tried these shoes on and they are really comfortable but I don't have extremely wide foot and they are a little big at the top, which is good because it allows me to have enough movility but at the same time I feel like my foot is going inward. I feel like it's like a split shoe, from the middle down it's hard and the top is flexible and agile. It doesn't convince me much but I don't know whether to take a chance with that model or see another one 🤔 I am a beginner in weights, maybe this model would be for a little more advanced?

Hmmm, the Nanoflex V2 may actually be a little more comfortable between the two models. The Nano X2 has a bit of a denser midsole giving it a smidge more stability! Thank you for checking out the content!

[@drunknnirish]

Is the toe box on these as wide as the X2? I am in the market for a daily user with a wide toe box that I can still train in.

It's super similar! The Nano X2 has a slight edge with width at the of the box, but base of the forefoot-wise, they're pretty identical.

[@chinoebuilder7561]

i am at the point to order them, but i have a question about the heal height, most effective range is 0,5-1inch for squatting. do you know how much the nano’s are?

[@thatfitfriend]

Quick note, that range to describe most effective is pretty arbitrary and what’s “most” effective should be individual and not dictated by what someone has written/says. For example, you have folks who squat just as well with a 0mm heel-to-toe drop (flat foot) versus those who using weightlifting shoes/more heel elevation. All individual, amigo! The drop of these shoes is 7mm.

Hi Jake, So I bought these Nanoflex v2s after trying the X2 ( which don’t fit me because of that extra length). I’m an overpronator so naturally wearing totally flat shoes like this I felt my feet go inwards, and so I’m planning to use it with my orthotic insoles for getting that support. Will that be a problem because it’s always recommended to have flat shoes for weightlifting?

[@thatfitfriend]

Hey! You should be okay, tbh. The idea that "flat is best" is pretty reductionist when it comes to lifting and it's something that I think a lot of folks don't discuss well on bigger media sites/social media. If you want additional context here, feel free to hit me on IG and I can send along a video explaining what I mean!
