Nike Metcon 10

The Nike Metcon 10s are a great addition for your gym workout. They feel solid and stable when lifting while being lightweight and breathable. I like the little addition of the hidden lace lock system on the tongue that hides your laces and keeps them in place. Overall, these are a great all around gym shoe for most workouts. I will be wearing these daily in the gym.

These were a big change for me. I'm much more used to using shoes with zero cushioning. I don't do much HIIT, so I can't really review how they are for cross-fit type activities, but they definitely do the job for weight lifting. I also haven't had a pair of metcons before so I can't really compare these to previous iterations. To begin with, I was really excited to get these due to my previous gym shoes being some beat up cup-sole skate shoes that weren't really meant for lifting weights. I really appreciate the flexibility where the balls of your feet are. I'll often warm up by going on the rowing machine for a bit. The flexibility felt much more natural. I will say that the heel is a bit large and didn't perfectly fit into the stirrups of the rowing machine, but that's probably due to the wide base of the shoe. Speaking of, I feel very stable in these shoes due to the wide base. It was great for doing squats and leg presses. I was slightly concerned about how tight it felt at first around my toes, but it seems like they're breaking in now after a few wears. The reactX foam does provide some cushioning in the heel, but it doesn't feel bouncy or unstable at all. It does take some getting used to when you, like me, have come from no cushioning in your workout shoes. The cushioning isn't super necessary for my purposes, but I can see how it would be nice for HIIT. As far as looks go, they look pretty cool. They don't look as sleek as previous iterations of the Nike react, but that was never my highest priority. I really like the high contrast color-blocking. I'm kind of a sucker for neon green/yellow after growing up in the 2000s. There's a fuse/webbing material on the top to keep your toes locked in which provides a lot of the color-blocking. There's a little pocket on the tongue to tuck your laces into, which is cool but I'm not sure how much I'll use it. Overall, I think they look pretty cool and I'm still really happy I got these in. As far as concerns go. I'm not sure these will last as long given the switch to foam technology and just the fact that foam cushioning has a finite lifespan. But that's really it, overall, they're a decent gym shoe that look pretty good to boot.

Come on Nike give us some better colour options not these mismatch 3 way colour tones, the trainers look amazing yet the colour ways completely let them down they look like they belong in a festival not a serious gym. Can't I just have one colour like Grey or better still customize my own please ?
