I absolutely loved my Metcon 1s - could definitely go for more colorways. I'd buy them up.

OG 1 is a lot more dense for strength training and has better width. Performs better for CrossFit. Free is more versatile and plush

I had the Metcon 1s and loved them. I would take out the insole to make them zero drop for deadlifting. The two negatives would be: 1. The squeak! After about a month or two the insole rubs and starts squeaking with every step 2. traction. The out sole is super slick. It is great for lifting, but if you try to do sled work you will be sliding around.

@@FaheemRashid !!!! these haven’t started the dreaded squeak yet…feel like they’re wider than I remember so I wonder if that will help with these. Have you tried this new model? I’m curious to see if you still find them slick. Have had no issues pulling and pushing 5 plates on turf in these. I do remember my 2/3 being slick, but I feel like this rubber is tackier…maybe it’s placebo tho 🤔

@@thatfitfriend I have not tried the new one yet. However in both cases the squeak and the traction it was more of a longevity problem. I remember it was after a couple of months but definitely not a year before I was sliding around and the squeaking happened way before that.

Thanks for the review, really nice one! Yesterday received my banned and immediately wore them in the gym. I used them for weight lifting (I'm not into CrossFit), but when I was on treadmill to do my warm up (10 minutes on speed 9.0, like a do every time) they felt really hard, too many vibrations on my feet and stopped at 5 minutes because my feet were hurting (my other training shoe is the Nike Zoom Air TR1 which is great on treadmill).

@ let me know how you like the 9 😅 The 1 will also prob just take a little time to adapt to since it’s a denser ride. Def a shoe you’ll want to primarily forefoot strike in for running
@Brubigo
@Brubigo 26 күн бұрын
I worn metcons 2, 4 and 9...recently I bought the tr1, and it's great because you can play basketball with it and also lift weights. If you are going to lift very heavy weights then the metcon 9 is a lot more stable and has a little bit more heel elevation which facilitates squats. But unless you do crosstraining workouts that dont allow you time to switch shoes between activities then you don't need metcons. My suggestion is get tr1 for just about anything, get something like romaleos for squat and olys, and go barefoot when you need stability like deadlifts. And if you wanna do heavy cross training workouts, involving short runs and controlled jumping then the best option for this versatility is a crosstraning shoe like the metcon, they outlast even working boots. But if you do any sports that involve jumping high metcons won't be as pleasing.

YES!! Spot-on review. Being someone who generally likes to train in softer training shoes, I'm loving these. So glad I gave them a try. They felt great with anything and everything I've tried so far, including some sprints and short runs. Interesting theory/conspiracy about this being the Nike Metcon 10(X), but it would certainly feel like a cop-out on Nike's part. Guess we'll see. 🤷‍♂️

You sold me on these! :D even if JUST for the sake of the Jordan reference! Any advice regarding sizing? haven't worn a sporty Nike in quite a while.. and don't really own Nano \ Dropset anymore Nike's sizing is VERY strange: I'm almost always 11us \ 29CM.. in Nike, 12US is 28.8 - does this make sense, to go 1 size up? I have a normal \ low profile, medium width foot. BTW - JUST placed on order for a pair of R.A.D 1 - so thanks for that review as well!!!

For me, it's a huge disappointment. We didn't get the Metcon 10 at all in August! I don't understand why they re-released the first version of the shoes. Like, why? They're already available in stores! It feels like Nike is running out of steam and doesn't know how to innovate. They don't know what to do. The first sign was with the Metcon 8, and the Metcon 9 was a total disaster! And Nike knows it very well. I really expected Nike to step up and finally make a shoe that would become as popular as the older versions. Unfortunately, Nike released nothing. They just re-released the same shoe from 2015, with no innovation. Seriously?
@thatfitfriend
@thatfitfriend 3 ай бұрын
I hear you, but I'd also say...why do we need to innovate every year when things are working well. For example, Nike should bring back their older Metcons and simply offer wider options and they'll be better off than what they've built the last 3 years with the Metcon 7-9, ya know? I get your frustration, ngl. Feel like they're def losing steam

@@thatfitfriend luckily was just able to score them at 25% off, but can’t decide between TTS or 1/2 size up. TTS is like a vice grip on the toes for width but length is perfect, even with the broken in Metcon React midsole in. But 1/2 up width is perfect but maybe a tad long. Does the upper break in and open up at all? I wear TTS is Haze, Metcon7 (which feels wider than these), TRB4, and Nano2
