UA TRIBASE REIGN 6 REVIEW | These Are Solid

[@bikermonkey99]

After some research, I decided & bought a pair of Under Armour Tribase Reign 6's over a pair of Nike Metcon 9s. Yesterday, I had my Back Day and man, everything that Jake said in the video was true. I did heavy conventional deadlifts (went up to 375lbs), elevated barbel rows and to check the potential of the shoe, I did 2 sets of barbell forward lunges. The shoe performed really well and been a great assert. With being comfortable and super supportive to lift heavy weights, this shoe stands in the Top 5 in CrossFit shoes. Thanks for this amazing review Jake! Cheers 🍻

[@thatfitfriend]

Let's go! Love hearing that, homie. Thank you for sharing feedback and posting an update!

[@Sebas_CiclismoPasion]

I have just bought these bad boys. I’ve seen all your reviews and comparisons related to the reign 6, thank you very much for your superb videos. Always super informative and entertaining. A half and a year ago I bought the Nike free Metcon 4 when I discovered your channel, and now that I wanted to try something different my first thought was to take a look at your videos to see the best options in 2024. The shoes are just perfect for my gym training and surprisingly comfortable for a walk around the city. Thank you again for your work man. God bless you. 😊

[@thatfitfriend]

Let's goooo, love hearing that, bro!

[@moneyfu]

Got them a few weeks ago, best training shoe I had by far! I was always Nike fan, but I got to admit this shoe won me over.

[@thatfitfriend]

Sick! Love hearing that

[@NewGunEnthusiast]

Got a pair on the way. I’ve been training with metcons forever so your comment resonates with me! Hoping they work for me! Also went true to size and hoping that works for me also.

Can you do a comparison with the Nano X4?

[@thatfitfriend]

You know that's on the way :)

[@s1lent51]

@@thatfitfriend I tried both the Adidas Dropset 2 and the UA Reign 6. I honestly liked the UA shoe design and color choices more than the Dropset 2. However comfort is and always will be the priority over looks. I felt the Reign 6 has less volume ( and felt tighter) on the top part of my feet. I really wanted to like it, but I will pass. I know you can change the insole and whatnot. But I dont want to get into that. I want to buy the best feeling and comfortable shoes as is. Without messing around. the Nano X4 is yet to be out in my country. I am not in a rush, been using the Nano X3 for less than a year. Will wait for it to be released here to try it and then Decide between it and the Dropset 2.

[@thenoblesavage]

Good shout on the thick feet call. Had to buy a new flatter insole because sizing up for me = one foot swimming in a shoe. Problems of having two different sized feet! Great review my man!

Your reviews and analysis are top notch brother, I'm getting this shoe for weightlifting and some plyometrics, I was going for the adidas dropset but it's not in stock in 10.5, not sure I should get size 10 but these UA Reign 6 seem to fit in size 10 if you with wide feet had some space left, in EU size I'm 45 and this ones is size 10=45, weird as some other shoes I'm 10.5, cloudflow 4 I'm good with 11 lol, I had clooudflow 2 and 10.5 was quite tight. thanks for the great review!!

I got the 5s for 30% off a few months ago. By far the best cf training shoe. My only gripe is I prefer 4/5mm drop. I like the comfort and flexibility. My second favorite training shoes are strike movement haze trainers. Looking forward to trying these out.

[@mgw1188]

How does the drop in compare with the Metcon 5? Do you think the hyperlift insert from the metcon 5 would work too? Just some thoughts.

[@thatfitfriend]

Potentially if you don't have a super thick/high-volume foot. If you do, then you may not have enough upper to lock the foot down. Do if you used the thinner Metcon 5 insoles with the insert in these, then you may be money!

[@ep6606]

So would you choose these over the Metcon turbo 2 for a person who does box jumps and functional workouts routinely? I really like both shoes, I do very little rope climbing.

[@thatfitfriend]

I would! These have been more well-rounded and they don’t squeak 🐁

[@kirbyaugustine761]

I love the Metcon 5’s because of the drop-in midsole and don’t vibe with the new Metcon’s aesthetics but if these give me that same feel then I’m in.

[@thatfitfriend]

They should be similar, imo!

[@p.liu_89]

Im a size 10 so should i go with a 9 and a half since you said there is about half to a full inch of toe room?

[@stef7321]

Fantastic work Jake!

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you!

[@blackoutas]

Just tried it. What can I say. Really really solid shoes. Before my workout session I just measured my old metcons 7 and compared it to reign 6. Initial thought - Metcons are still good, even after 3 years of use and the upper grips feet very well, the feet feels safe and locked. Compared insoles - practically identical, but there is a bit more place for toes in reign 6. But Metcons has very stiff heel and the shoe can't be all-arounder because of it. What about the reign 6? The grip of the rubber sole is incredible, much better than metcons 7. The upper grip is good, but it does not lock feet as metcons to be fair. Did some back squats with 140kg - feels good, pretty stable, did some box jumping - works very nice, almost like basketball shoes. Will try on a treadmill, but I feel that's gonna be good, better than Nike Legend Essential 3 for sure. Thank you Jake for the recommendation, I'm really happy with my choice :)

[@thatfitfriend]

Heck yeah, love this analysis and feedback! Stoked you're enjoying them

[@usamaharun3288]

Would you recommend it over born primitive savage 1 for someone with wide and flat feet?

[@thatfitfriend]

Ohhh good question! Either or should be fine, tbh. Savage 1 will be denser feeling and whereas Reign 6 has a plusher ride with a bit more give to it. What do you currently wear?

[@minimumtrade]

As my second pair of Metcon 6 are just about worn through, I was worried about options given Metcons evolution has not been favourable. UA Reign 6 it is!

[@thatfitfriend]

Yo, keep me updated on how they compare for you!

[@jeffclamp5803]

Could these be used for pickup basketball? Great review as always

[@thatfitfriend]

I think so! It's def grippy and bouncy enough. If you try them, lmk! Thank you!

[@jeffclamp5803]

Will do. Thanks man

[@rickwebermusic]

While the provided midsole on the Reign 6 is a great "jack-of-all-trades" solution, it would be awesome if UA released some different midsoles for these so we could customize the feel based on activity. I would love the ability to drop-in a more dense midsole for lifting, perhaps with a 6-7mm drop.

[@thatfitfriend]

That would be sick! IMO, play with other shoe insoles here or if you have an old Metcon 5/6 that hd that denser drop-in midsole.

[@rickwebermusic]

@@thatfitfriend What aftermarket insoles/midsoles would you recommend? I'm coming from Xero Shoes HFS- which I love for most things. I'm used to my feet being on a hard surface. I just wanted to try a shoe with a little more of a stable platform & slight heel lift for lifting. All in all though, I think I'll really like the Reign 6s.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@rickwebermusic Boomerang insole from Inov-8 are pretty sick. Other than that, my knowledge is pretty limited on this front as I'll just rotate mine between shoes. Insoles are something I want to get more into this year and learn more about diff options to recommend for various contexts!

Two questions. I think I have a thicker foot but I wear the Strike Movement with no issues. Would this shoe be okay? And second. This Reign shoe or Rad 1?

[@thatfitfriend]

I think you'll be okay! Ahhhh, that's a tough one. I'd say RAD if they have a colorway you really like and if they don't work then go Reign and try to find a coupon for them!

My thought...if you like the G 300 and they've been working, stay the course. No need to change what's been working. If they haven't been working, lmk, then we can discuss!

[@olusolasaliu7632]

@@thatfitfriend I see i see, so I dont have super wide feet but I feel like the G300 mid area may be a little too narrow for my feet. I think my PTTD is coming back because I have been getting slight flares up or subtle aches in my arch area (not really flatfooted). I've been wearing them for almost a year now so I'm not sure if it's the sneaker or me. I should note that I have been wearing the G300 pretty much every time I went to the gym, leg day or not. The insoles seem flat so idk if that plays a factor as well.

[@haamidakram3545]

Hi Jake, I have a rollable ankles and I am struggling during crossfit. Will this support?

[@thatfitfriend]

Ehh, these will have a lower-profile ankle. I'd look into the Nano X3 or TYR CXT-1 Trainer as they have slightly more rigid ankle/boot constructions!

[@MrDarthvis]

The flexibility reminds me of the new balance minimus (I miss that model). Is tri base reign 6 less rigid and the tri base 5?

[@thatfitfriend]

I can see that. It's a lot more mobile and the midsole has more responsiveness!

[@leonwong95]

Thanks for the sudden hype of Reebok Nano recently, causing the shortage of sizing. I have decided to go with this shoe. Simply it's also cheaper and toe box feels a little wider compared with nano x4. But I prefer the arch support on nano.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, v diff lasts for sureeeee.

[@suede2009]

Debating my next pair of shoes. Between these (UA Tribase Reign 6) and the Tyr CXT1 Wide trainers, which do you recommend next (specifically for hybrid training and big weights for my wide feet)?

[@thatfitfriend]

Both are solid, but v diff feels with their drops. 2mm vs 9mm is a pretty big diff for feel. What do you prefer? More heel or less? I'd decide based on that!

[@suede2009]

@@thatfitfriend Makes sense. I figured it would come down to the stack height and heel-to-toe drop. Tyr sounds better for squats and such given ankle and hip mobility while the Reign might be better for deadlifts and versatility (unless I’m backwards with some of the speculation). Just didn’t know which would be better for wide feet. All else fails, I’ll just get both eventually so I can feel them out and cycle through different shoes for different workouts as you have recommended as I have been doing. Thanks, dude!

these or dropset 3's for primarily lifting with some agility explosive work? I have the Reign 5's and like them but a little worried these are "less" of a lifting shoe. If the Reign 5's are fine for my jumping/explosive work are the dropset 3's comparable in that regard?

[@thatfitfriend]

Both would be solid, imo! Think you’d be happy either way and I’d go with the model with the best price point/colorway for ya

[@p0kerface07]

I have a question about the ankle area of the shoe: is it completely straight or does the rubber band decline towards the ankle? (Like the ua commit 4) Thanks for the review btw.

[@thatfitfriend]

I think I know what you're saying. It declines a bit and the cup doesn't run directly vertical. It won't be as pronounced as the Commit 4.

[@benmalkin4056]

Hey Jake! I typically commute quite a long way in whatever shoes I'm training in. Can you suggest some good options for a good all-round lower drop shoe - ideally with some toe-spring - but that's max/decently waterproof!? I'm thinking NoBulls etc, but the waterproof aspect is really important to me. I often coach after training so I'm stood around in the same pair of shoes for a long time,

[@thatfitfriend]

I've enjoyed my NOBULL High-Top Trainers for that ask and they're easy to clean. Idk many other modern-day trainers that would hit that easy-to-clean/waterproof ask for you. STR/KE and RAD are my faves for casual wear, but def wouldn't deliver in inclement weather, imo

[@benmalkin4056]

Awesome! There've been other shoes I've loved wearing - Including two pairs of RADs and two pairs of the older Reebok Speed TR Flexweave. I'm almost looking for a mid-point between those two tbh, with as much durability and weatherproofing as possible. The NoBulls - namely the Geo Court trainers (maybe the new Hightop version) - seem like they could fit the bill... Let me know your thoughts man 🤔 - it's super helpful! I'm thinking they're likely less 'harsh' than the OG Trainer - and I prefer their aesthetic over the Trainer+/Impact variants(??)

Hey Jake, what’s your measurement from toe to heel? Very much appreciate your reply

[@thatfitfriend]

I'm around 10.5 inches give or take a bit based on my eyeballing of the measuring tape!

[@sergn717]

Your toes seem to overhang a bit on the sides of the insole. Does your big toe touch the side or the end of the shoe? I've been trying to avoid toe touch as much as possible when buying shoes, and doing so sometimes pushes me into the "too much volume" territory

[@thatfitfriend]

Not really. Tbh, I don't always love doing the insole shot because it's not always reflective of true width when you consider upper and how the foot compresses when you put weight on it/take the overhead shot. I find that I have plenty of room in this shoe and haven't blatantly noticed any friction or rub! What do you currently wear/how do they fit?

[@GoufinAround_]

Idk if it was just the pair that I got from under armour, but they felt like the material for the upper was already stretched out if that makes sense. I think it's just not enough structure to the upper for me. I have narrow feet, one slightly less so than the other, and wonder if that's why. Definitely returning them sadly

[@jmoak311]

@@thatfitfriend I can’t help but wonder if that was done intentionally, or if was it a miscalculation based on the drop-in midsole. It seems weird to widen the toe box yet reduce the volume.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@jmoak311 yeah, I’m not sure. I appreciate the dual-functionality but I highhhlyyyy doubt that was the rationale 😂 Prob just a miscalc since this is a first pass at this style of reign

[@jmoak311]

I had to go back to my 5’s for a while, and am so glad to have the 6’s back. I really missed the extra width and flexibility!

[@andrykallard2712]

amazing video Jake!, this should work well for explosive focus workouts? couldn't decide between this or the Dropset 2.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yep! Both are sick, honestly. Can't go wrong with either :)

[@Dudzio866]

Do you guys thinks these ones could be good for boxing, too? Just for amateur training

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, should be fine!

[@ajinkyaw3521]

Are these better than dropset 3 in your opinion ?

[@thatfitfriend]

Depends what you want. If you like flatter and more flexible shoes, then yes! Dropset is better if you want a little more heel and like a more traditional training shoe feel

[@ThaisRubio-qt4kf]

What do you refer drop in the midsole? 🤔

[@thatfitfriend]

Drop-in midsole is the thicker insole in this shoe. It's an insole that serves/doubles as the shoe's midsole, too

[@deyanmic]

I really liked the reign 4 and 5, got this one too 🔥

[@thatfitfriend]

What do you think of em?

[@deyanmic]

@@thatfitfriend I've just got them today, I'll have to test them tomorrow and I'll let u know 👍🏻

[@deyanmic]

They are really good so far, I like the midsole, feels very comfortable. The upper part gets bit tight but keeps your foot secured. Nice and fexilbe sole. I'd definitely keep using them 👍🏻

[@christianwawer2795]

​@@deyanmicyou prefer the 5s over the 6s? 5s seemed unbeatable to me. 6s kinda feel like a downgrade

[@deyanmic]

I felt more comfortable in the 4s and the 5s to be honest, more secure in a way. Not that the 6s are bad just maybe not up the taste of everyone... I do keep using them, making rotations

[@1223jems]

Sizing, how do these compare to inov8 235v3?

[@thatfitfriend]

They'll fit a bit wider, but I'd go same size!

[@likquid27]

Would you go these or Nano X4s?

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go these, buttttt I like minimalist feeling shoes. I think for most, both models will be awesome so objectively speaking - idt you can go wrong with either. If you like flatter/minimalist trainers, go Reign, if you like more drop and built-out shoes, go Nano :)

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Jake, Have you done a review of insoles? I keep getting the Z-Liner insoles (hexagonal grid) advertised in my feeds. Seems like a bouncy, thicker insole could replace the drop-in midsole here to give more midfoot volume.

[@thatfitfriend]

I haven't but now I'm thinking I should try some. It's an ask I receive a lot and want to add more depth for when folks ask...I'll add these to my watch list! Thank you!

[@jmoak311]

When are the 7’s coming!? Lfgggg

[@thatfitfriend]

I believe early spring 2025!

[@iliyaghorra7305]

Do they have a wide toe box?

[@thatfitfriend]

Decently wide. Works fine for me E/EE width feet and others have reported liking the width

[@SuperTkacz]

Great review, Jake ! With the larger outsole surface area, do you think the white & gums would stay cleaner for longer compared to other white trainers 😂 The warp material seems pretty resistant to scuffs, what about the newer material on the 6’s ? And have you seen any other cokourways IRL that you like ? UA’s website are notoriously bad for the product pics reliability! 😂

[@thatfitfriend]

6s have been solid so far with scuffs! My Fuse 3s are scuffed from tests, but the Reign 6s have been fine, for example. Black/Gum and White/Gum are my faves...and I know...they need to GTFO with those 3D renders and use real product shots. It's legit the only reason they get bad reviews on their site, LOL

[@viniciusfranca2802]

Friend, I watch your videos a lot, but I don't understand English! I live in Brazil! But here it takes a long time for the news to arrive, then I'll see your videos! Here's the thing! I'm a fan of UA! And I wanted to import a sneaker like that! Here there's only Reign 4, I'm a Crossfit practitioner! Then I'm going to import one! I wanted a tip which one did you like + or indicate!? The reign 5 or the reign 6! Sorry if it's a little out of context, it's that I used Google translator! Hugs!!

[@thatfitfriend]

Both are sick, I like the Reign 6 better, though, due to its flexibility and articulation.

[@Boris-g2l]

For wide feet?

[@thatfitfriend]

Depends how wide! They’re decent for E/EE widths but will fall short past that

[@RobinMartin-sr2pk]

My orthopedist says 500 miles and a shoe is worn out. He is a runner and does some crossfit and a health fanatic

[@thatfitfriend]

Depends, though. 500-miles for certain running shoes, sure. Some running shoes are actually less depending on the intent. Training shoes can also vary GREATLY since it's hard to accurately track 500 miles per se. I use different shoe breakdown signals in trainers for when to replace instead of miles, for example.

[@EADYT]

If only they were ZERO drop it could be really nice!

[@thatfitfriend]

Take out the insole for 0mm drop 👀

[@thenoblesavage]

​@@thatfitfriendwe want that insole goodness 😅😅

[@thatfitfriend]

@@thenoblesavage Sounds like someone with a shoe review site should make some sick insoles for training and lifting...

[@cmoorhead1]

I have had the UA Tribase Reign 3,4,5 and now 6. I really like the clean design and sock like fit of the 3 with the only flaw being the extremely Long laces. The 4 became wider, looser, heavier, and more clunky….I now wear them to mow the yard. I was hoping for an improvement with the 5 but they introduced an asymmetrical curve of the laces that looks like something went wrong. Now I have the 6 and I love them! Low stack height, minimum drop, firm but well cushioned, comfortable upper with proper laces. I am tempted to buy a second pair and just keep them in the box until my first pair wears out.

[@EADYT]

@@cmoorhead1 Nice, how will you compare them with other ZERO drop barefoot shoes like Vivo/etc ?

[@daveyadict_]

I love these. I hated the 5s, but these are fantastic.

5s were a mistake. 4 were better in every way especially looks!

[@daveyadict_]

@@Railios103 100% agree

[@Hyromania]

The fit of this shoe is too narrow. I bought the one with the yellow back. When this shoe didn't fit, I ordered the color in this video. I hope they fit. I recommend buying one size bigger.

[@thatfitfriend]

What did you wear previously and how did those fit?

[@sah1521]

Where the discount codes

[@thatfitfriend]

I don't have any sadly, LOL. I buy all of the products I review. If I ever get discounts, though, I'll shout them out, but I rarely do for bigger companies like this!

Bro, I buy all of the shoes I review unlike other reviewers who get everything for free and say they’re “unbiased”. I can’t afford to randomly buy a bunch of colors if I’m going to actually wear test these properly. If that’s your biggest complaint with this review, then I think we’ll live 😂

[@FCBcubano]

Are these barefoot shoes

[@thatfitfriend]

Nope! If you replace drop in midsole with a thin insole they’re similar tho
