Nike needs to take a lesson from this first release and do away with the solid heel on the Newer Metcons. These were the first Crossfit shoes I really enjoyed. Not so great for running but a much more user friendly shoe than the newer ones.
I have tried most currently available CF shoe options and, for me, nothing beats the Metcon 8. I just picked up a couple more pair of Metcon 8's, as the inventory online is almost out. That said, I am intrigued by the Metcon 1 OG and did not pull trigger when released because I do not like the black/red/white color way. Nike just released a new color way (black/white/metallic cool grey) that I really like, so I pulled the trigger and they should arrive any day. I THINK this also supports the notion that the Metcon 1 OG was release in lieu of the Metcon 10 . . . which I suspect will eventually be released? I wear the Metcon 8 for every WOD EXCEPT (1) only running, for which I wear running shoes and (2) WODS with substantial running mixed with other movements, for which I wear the Nike Flex Control 4. Of other shoes I have tried, the Haze Trainer, INOV8 260 V2 and UA Reign 6 are also good cross trainers but simply do not appeal to me as much as my Metcon 8/Flex Control 4 combination for everything CF.
Nike might be moving to an "every other year" release cycle for the Metcon shoes, I guess. I'm now expecting the Nike Metcon 10 in August of 2025. But I don't have any official info. Thanks for the feedback. Those new 1 OGs should look great in that color combo.
Yeah but the OGs visually look better... they're lighter...the Swoosh sign is more visible...whos climbing ropes in a gym anyway...im here to lift...Jordan colours are like Yes Sir...👍🏾😎💯🔥
FYI, ya might wanna stop doing the over under grip on your deadlift, science has shown that when anybody pops a bicep tendon while deadlifting always pops it on the hand that is holding the bar in the under grip. Good video, I liked how you compared these to the 9's.
Yeah - me too. When I saw "Nike Metcon 1 OG" , i mis-read it as 10 G - LOL. I think Metcon 10 is gonna be real, real similar to Metcon 9 though. They tend to make major changes EVERY OTHER YEAR, so this year is probably a minor update.
@@fitatmidlife927lol, let’s hope they make some decent upgrades to facilitate running, I personally love the design of the 9’s but I’m yet to own a pair of metcons

Yep - all good points. I forgot to mention the Jordan colors.
Who? Crossfighters

There is a date for the new metcon 10 ?
@@kokozaza3533 I do not know the date, but it *should* be any day now. They have been recently the shoe in late summer the last few years.
fall 2025
I already got mine on the way
What do you think? Are you gonna get it?
They cost $180 in my country, I'll just get some nano x4 on sale in the fall. Not worth it to regular people, only if you really want the OG.
