Nike Metcon 10 Men's Training Shoes
Power your cross-training potential with the Metcon 10. It optimises stability for your heavier lifts with an ultra-strong Hyperlift plate and levels up mobility with responsive ReactX foam.
Breathable, Layered Mesh Upper
The Metcon 10 receives an updated upper with the new iteration using a layered mesh construction. Larger perforations in the fabric increase airflow, encouraging cool air to circulate while making it easier for built-up heat to escape, keeping your feet cool and comfortable. The new design increases durability, withstanding whatever training you put them through, while reducing the weight of the shoes for a lightweight feel. Nike has introduced a wider toe box, allowing your toes to splay when lifting heavy weights; they won't feel restrictive. This also helps improve balance throughout your heavy lifts. A new midfoot band has been added to secure your foot onto the footbed when you pull on the laces. This is combined with a sturdy heel cup, which keeps feet in place, allowing you to focus on your form rather than shifting or slipping. A tough and sticky texture is strategically placed on the midfoot and toes, both high-wear areas, which delivers game-changing grip and durability so you can tackle rope climbs with ease. On the medial side, a lighter, less bulky and more tuned rubber wrap has been used to reinforce the Metcon's suitability for high-intensity workouts. This works to resist abrasion while being more flexible, making wall sits, lifts, and lunges feel a little more comfortable. Finally, the shoes feature a lace lock system which attaches to the shoe tongue, preventing them from latching onto any fabric and helping to keep your laces in place.
Nike ReactX Midsole
Providing you with soft, lightweight and durable foam that enhances underfoot comfort, the shoes utilise Nike ReactX so that you can get even closer to the ground without sacrificing comfort and speed. This, therefore, delivers you with feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. ReactX foam reduces the carbon footprint of the midsole by at least 43% compared to previous Nike React foam, helping support the planet. The reactive nature of this clever midsole material absorbs impact and then expels it back, giving you a boost in cardio sessions. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance so you can train for longer. In addition, a HyperLift plate in the heel offers stability, perfect for tough workouts like split squats, deadlifts and other low-body exercises.
Full Rubber Outsole
Developed using a full rubber outsole, the Nike Metcon 10 receives a new traction pattern that provides a flat, sticky surface for lifting on even the sweatiest of surfaces. The pattern increases underfoot traction, providing a stable footing when moving. This is ideal for workouts, gym sessions, and classes where you typically make a lot of sharp, aggressive and lateral movements. Ensuring a strong and stable base, the outsole wraps even further around the midfoot, which enhances grip when climbing a rope and speed when sliding back down. The updated triangular tread with strategic cutouts, combined with the grooves, allows greater flexibility in the forefoot for a more natural and comfortable wearing and training experience.
