The New Nike Metcon 6 Is the Brand's Best All-Around CrossFit Shoe Yet

Sometimes, you don’t mess with success. And Nike knows it too.

Last year, Nike released the Metcon 5, an ultra-well-rounded training shoe that was my favorite training shoe from Nike to date. It delivered everything I needed in a training shoe, from a super-stable platform for squatting, deadlifting, and cleaning to just enough flexibility in the mid- and forefoot areas to allow me to sprint and box jump solidly. Little flourishes helped me perform in other areas, delivering a grippy rope climbing experience, and the tight fit I need to add just a bit of cutting and change-of-direction work into my workouts. It quickly became my go-to sneaker for every non-running workout.

So how does Nike follow all of that? Answer: With the Nike Metcon 6, a sneaker that builds on last year’s design in only the smartest of ways. That means subtle changes, not massive ones. But the end result is a superior training sneaker—and my new favorite training shoe to date.
