There appeared to be a few style updates on the upper, but everything else seems pretty similar, just a few tweaks to improve an already great shoe.

It’s important to train all three of these systems so that your body becomes efficient at using energy during a variety of activities. Varying your training, such as by incorporating metcon workouts, can help with this by improving your overall fitness level. Summary I didn’t include a picture, but the drop-in midsole and hyperlifts appear to be the same shape, material, and performance. There are just a few small cosmetic differences. This shoe has an all-new upper, and it’s very breathable. Nike claims it is 18% more breathable than the Nike Metcon 5. First, the phosphagen pathway provides energy immediately during the first few reps or seconds of a workout or for short bouts of work — think sprints or 3 heavy squat reps.

Both upper constructions are breathable and fairly durable across the board and I don’t think either has a clear edge on the other. Laces and Tongue I also think folks who like having a “low-to-the-ground” feeling in their cross-training shoes will like this model for that aspect. It won’t be the most niche when it comes to athletic-style training, but the Metcon 6 gets the job done for this performance ask. Day-to-Day and Shorter Runs The fast-paced nature of cross-training requires a steady foot, as you’ll likely find yourself pivoting from one movement or exercise pattern to a completely different one at the drop of a hat. A strong, stable, dependable base is the last thing you want to be concerned about when trying to shave seconds off a WOD time or lift a PR. As such they are tiny bit long, but I’d rather have shoes that are slightly too long than slightly too narrow.

Progress. If you feel like you’ve reached a plateau with your performance, try a metcon workout — you’ll challenge your body in a different way.I wear a Men’s Size 11 (US) in all my Nike running shoes, and in most shoes from Reebok, UA, Adidas, etc. I like these without the hyperlifts for deadlifting – there’s no benefit to a heel raise with the deadlift.

Here’s the thing about squats: You need a shoe that can keep you stable and won’t give during your lift. In addition to being wider, the heel of the Metcon 6 is fitted with a firmer layer of foam to ensure you feel secure during any type of squat workout (even 20-rep squat sessions). The removable Hyperlift insert can also help with this. The sole in the Metcon 6 seems to have found the perfect balance between running and lifting job descriptions. Nike Metcon 6 for HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (Burpees, Box Jumps, Kettlebells, Lunges) Besides construction, another important consideration to think about is how you’ll primarily be wearing the shoes. Cross-training shoes are different from weightlifting shoes because they can be worn for both working out and on a day-to-day basis. Some, of course, are better than others. Ultimately, you should consider things like your commute, how often you plan on training, and what kind of training you’re doing. Durability I’d recommend adopting a forefoot strike when running in this model and they should be fairly comfortable for distances between 100-meters and 1-mile.The first aspect that I like about the Nike Metcon 6 is the stable outsole construction. This model features a stable rubber outsole with fairly good traction which makes it a good option for stability in multiple settings. Plus, the midsole is also fairly stable and “minimalist-esque” in this model. It all adds up to Nike’s best training shoe yet, and the best training shoe on the market. Nike knew better than to mess with success this year. It also doesn’t have a firm heel cup like in the regular edition shoe. How could it? You wouldn’t be able to collapse the heel to slide your foot in.
