Nike have created something special with the Metcon 6; combing the 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝟓 with a lightweight 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡-𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫.⁣

The trainers still has the archetypal Nike 𝐟𝐥𝐲𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 which, with the enlarged outsole, gives 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. But the new upper creates an overall 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 & 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 shoe.⁣

Whether it’s just the increased flexibility of the upper or an actual shape redesign, the 𝐭𝐨𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 in a way I’ve not felt in previous Metcon – more like the Nano 8 or even, dare I say, the Nano 2!⁣

In my eyes it remains a 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞, more so than the Metcon 5, and that’s a good thing. I now have a Reebok Classic-looking Nano X complemented by a very technically impressive Meton 6. ⁣
