Nike React Metcon Training Shoes

The Nike React Metcon AMP takes the stability and traction from the original and pairs it with React foam, Nike's most comfortable cushioning. It feels soft and springy with a breathable Flyknit and synthetic upper, but it's still stable enough to tackle lifting and high-impact workouts.

Flyknit Upper

Flyknit uppers will encase each foot in streamlined comfort. Perforations in the forefoot increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. The one-piece construction seamlessly integrates these areas of high breathability with stretch and support where you need it the most, adapting to the changing shape of your foot as it moves through the gait cycle. The bootie construction is designed for easy entry and exceptional comfort; removing the need for a tongue, it swathes your foot in lightweight support and a seamless, sock-like fit - shrinking the risk of rubbing and blisters, because we know how those can ruin your day. Completing the upper is a quick-pull lacing system that allows you to easily adjust the fit to suit your individual needs; it can also be tucked away neatly for distraction-free workouts.

React Cushioning

A full-length platform of React cushioning resides underfoot to deliver feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. To produce this startlingly lightweight and springy midsole, crafted from synthetic rubber, Nike listened to the voice of the athlete. Their in-house sports research lab plugged footstrike data into a proprietary algorithm that determined how much cushioning was needed where. They simulated testing on approximately one hundred possible shoe geometries to quickly determine the handful they knew would work best for most runners and then merged the science with an elegant design, intended to feel like a slipper on a mattress. The reactive nature of this clever midsole material means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Soft, generous and substantial, React will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces.

Multi-directional Outsole

Developed using a directional outsole, the Nike React Metcon Training Shoes increase underfoot traction for a wide range of training activities. Ensuring a strong and stable base, the outsole wraps around the side of the midfoot from the added grip when climbing a rope and speed when sliding back down. Increasing traction, the rubber provides stable footing when moving from one place to the next. This is ideal for tough workouts, gym sessions, and classes where you typically make a lot of sharp, aggressive and lateral movements. The solid rubber keeps you connected to the floor and allows for smoother, stabler transitions. Providing excellent grip and stability, the outsole of the Metcon is specifically designed to within stand the demands and pressures of cross-training and weightlifting.
