    READ MY REVIEW: thatfitfriend.com/reebok-nano...
    The Nike Metcon 9 versus the Reebok Nano X3 has been a pretty interesting cross-training shoe showdown.
    Every year, lifters and athletes from all walks of life compare the Reebok Nano versus the Nike Metcon. There's usually a pretty split decision in most years, but this year I think one shoe comes out on top.
    In my Nike Metcon 9 versus Reebok Nano X3 showdown, I'll cover all of the key details you should know about these shoes.
    0:00 5 Key Differences
    5:14 Which Is BEST for Lifting?
    6:35 Which Is BEST for CrossFit?
    8:10 Which Is BEST for Versatile Training?
    8:54 Which Is BEST for Daily Wear?
    9:26 Price Breakdown
    10:00 Sizing & Fit Differences
    11:06 Weight, Drop, and Insole
    11:48 Construction Side-By-Side
    13:51 Final Thoughts
    At the end of the day, I still think there will be camps of contrast behind both of these shoes.
    However, I do feel like the Reebok Nano X3 takes the edge as the more well-rounded training shoe.
    The Nike Metcon 9 is okay, but to be honest, I was hoping for more regarding its updates and changes, and some of the tweaks feel sub-par.
    Do you have a favorite? Who wins in the Nano X3 vs Metcon 9 showdown?

    i have one pair of metcon's 6 , one of metcon's 8 and a pair of Nano X3 , nano's are by far better on my foot with much better stability than my metcon's when i lift. I love them

    A couple of years ago I tried the M7 and I didn't like them at all, the feeling was of a hard shoe overall. So I bought the UA Tribase 3, which resulted great. My next pair of shoes were the X2 because it was hard to find the Tribase 4 in México, although they work I didn't feel as comfortable as with the UA, so I was a bit disappointed; but luckily for me I found the X3 for discount and decided to give them a try. What a nice surprise! So much better than the X2. I already want another pair of X3s, but I might go for the Tribase 5 considering how good the Tribase 3s are.

    • @thatfitfriend

    My reebok nano x1 and x2 wore out badly in the same outsole area. Since then I have sworn off reebok. I wonder if it’s the quality of their float ride foam tech and whether it has gotten better

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  10 месяцев назад

      Could be, tbh. I've seen others have that issue, too. I'm also curious about the correlation and why it breaks down there for some lifters over others.

    Hey, can you please do a video on ASRV shorts? I like the look of some of their shorts, but they seem a bit pricy and don't know if they are nice enough to replace the ones I use (for me I regularly wear UU and TT). ^^ would appreciate it. Thanks.

  • @faulkenizeit
    @faulkenizeit 10 месяцев назад +3

    Great review! Unless I’m mistaken, I think the X3 price is dependent on colorway- some are still $140

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  10 месяцев назад

      Most I’ve seen are creeping up to $150 and I feel like this for sure intentional so it seems like that’s always been the norm 😬

    • @thatfitfriend

    That plastic 'plate' on the Nike's get worn out and starts making clicking noises when you run (especially version 8). Looking at the 9's.. it looks like the same cheap plastic. This is the 2nd pair of Nike's that have last about 2 years only.. the heals also came apart after doing heavy sled pushes and pulls. Might have to try the nanos .... using my 7 year old nanos as a temp replacement because they haven't fallen apart yet.

    Personally going from metcon 2/3 for years to the nano x3, squatting and deadlifting feels really off putting with that big heel to toe drop.

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  9 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah, not surprised. You’ve acclimated to something specific then changes the biomechanics in which how you move/used to with a diff drop.
      I’d give it some time and if it’s still super weird, then go back to a lower drop

    I'm going metcon for the lower heel drop and the shoe felt quite versatile when i tried it on the shop. I also felt like the side wrap material really held my foot well when doing side lunges compared to other shoes

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  10 месяцев назад +1

      Love it! At the shop they felt fine, but you have to take em out for a few weeks of workouts. Try running and jumping in them then load some heavy unilateral work 😅 I’m curious if you’ll still find them to be as versatile.
