Nike Metcon 1 A Crossfit Sneaker 01

Nike’s always been a bit resistant to CrossFit, but their latest training silhouette – the Nike MetCon 1 – looks to be tailor made for the sport thanks to a durable abrasion-resistant mesh combined with a breathable synthetic upper. Even looking at the debut video of the MetCon, you see athletes performing a variation of workouts usually seen in the context of CrossFit, showcasing the dual-density midsole and its versatile flexibility. Able to withstand the demands of heavy weight lifting yet light weight enough for everyday use, have you grabbed your pair yet? Here we see a brand new look, one that features the added vibrance of Total Orange while grey contrasts on the heel, tongue, and laces. Check out the latest Nike MetCon colorway after the break and pick up your pair early on eBay.
