Nike Metcon 9 Training Shoes

Whatever your "why" is for working out, the Metcon 9 makes it all worth it with a larger HyperLift plate, added rubber rope wrap and updated foam. Sworn by some of the greatest athletes in the world, intended for lifters, runners, trainers, go-getters, it's still the gold standard that delivers day after day.

Lightweight, Breathable Mesh Upper

Exceptionally breathable, the Metcon 9 has lightweight mesh that keeps air flowing and your foot cool whilst still sporting great durability that can withstand whatever training you put it through. The durable textile 3D haptic print reinforces the mesh from toe to heel ensuring long-lasting durability to supplement the firm and adaptive feel of the shoe, without sacrificing breathability. The texture created by this not only adds durability but also helps to make it easier to keep your shoes clean. Additionally, it sports flexible, durable support in the toe area, so that when your toes splay when lifting heavy weights, it won't feel restrictive. Promoting lockdown and improving stability, the Metcon 9 works to protect your feet through harsh training sessions by ensuring resilience and strength as you power through any workout. The lightweight yet durable textured print protects your feet during any workout whilst perforations in the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. On the medial side, a strong rubber wrap compound has been used to reinforce the Metcon's suitability for high-intensity workouts. The rubber works to resist abrasion allowing you to wall sit, lift and lunge with complete confidence. This rubber extension adds durability and support so that you can tackle any rope climb over and over without the worry of causing damage from wear and tear. Completing the upper is a lacing system with integrated Flywire cables that ensures midfoot support so you can enjoy distraction-free strides and with this, a tab to lock the laces in place to completely keep your attention on your session.

Dual-Density Foam Midsole

Dual-density foam in the midsole ensures great comfort and responsive cushioning, to keep you ready for highly intense activities. This responsive foam offers a comfortable, cushioned light and elastic base for your cardio exercises and sprints. With a durable construction, this resilient midsole provides responsive cushioning designed with continuous cardio and movements in mind. The long-lasting foam makes a comfortable, cushioned base that feels exceptionally lightweight, and springy when you kick into high gear for cardio and sprinting. A wide, flat heel provides stability, as it has an inner plate that distributes weight from edge to edge of the shoes. In addition, the HyperLift plate is flexible to provide comfort in cardio intervals. Featuring in the heel, the HyperLift plate has been made even bigger in this updated version of the Metcon to offer better stability than before, perfect for tough workouts like split squats, deadlifts and other low-body exercises. The plate helps force weight down and out while adding tremendous rigidity in the heel. That firmness ensures you'll feel grounded and supported, specifically under heavier loads.

Full Rubber Outsole

Developed using a full rubber outsole, the Nike Metcon 9 Training Shoes increase underfoot traction for a wide range of training activities. Ensuring a strong and stable base, the outsole wraps even further around the side of the midfoot for added grip when climbing a rope and speed when sliding back down. It stretches from the midsole to the upper and also adds some additional support in the upper for multi-directional movements. 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. Finally, the grooves provided in the sole of the shoe, allow for your forefoot to bend more naturally to ensure a comfortable wearing and training experience.
