NIKE METCON THREAD - 7s out now

[noah1i8]

Need pics!!

If you insist! Picked these up in Melbourne Central 45 minutes before my wod yesterday. Honestly, they didnt look as good in person as I anticipated - they look a bit plastic-y and cheap, if that makes any sense. But Im happy nonetheless!

Realistically the hype for these are that they're Nike and they're a stylistic improvement over the Nano's. Any performance effect is placebo or very marginal.

Disagree - Ive tried to love the nanos since v1, but have never been able to get along with them. Always end up back in my barefoot shoes. I was initially equally skeptical with the metcons, but now love them.

Don't know how credible this is but found this on IG claiming to be the next wave of colorways. Photo credit goes to @willsworkout

If this is true I like a lot of what I'm seeing.

Glad to say I do not remotely like any of these!

I like the all reds but that's it. But I didn't like the game royals when I first saw them but they're my favorite shoe now.

yo yo! Any new updates on the grey gums and violet blue's on FNL, Rogue? It sucks it doesn't even show up on the nike launch calendar for U.S. I know we got a ETA of 5/6 on FNL. How about Rogue?  Just wanted to see if that still confirmed!

Thanks Mike! When will you have the gray/gums?

 

[miked]

Grey/Gums are scarce. Not any available and not even showing future stock.

I didn't think they were going to be showing up until this upcoming week. At least that's what Finishline was talking. How are they scarce if they haven't been released anywhere?

 

[miked]

It never was a color that was shown for pre orders like the royal, red, black.

 

[moparguy]

I do not think the Grey Gums are a color for everyone, they are just sitting here in Europe. No one is wanting these, but I've scored many for a lot NTers here.

Did this workout in free trainer v6 last week, and again last night in metcons just to feel the difference between both in the same, well, metcon.

30 squat Cleans/40 double unders/20 ghd

20 squat cleans/60 double unders/20 t2b

10 squat cleans/80 double unders40 ghd

5 squat cleans/100 double unders/40 t2b

The stability issue wasnt as noticeable as I thought it would be between the 2 shoes. went unbroken on double unders in v6, broke up the 80 into 2 sets of 40 and 100 into 2 sets of 50 in the metcons.  Clean form felt better in the metcons, felt like i was more glued to the floor coming out of the hole on the squat cleans.  I know, it sounds odd, but I could feel the lightness of the v6s on the du and t2b.  And I did notice my feet sweating more in the V6.  I really like both of these shoes.  I still the the metcon will turn out to be more durable than the V6, but thats the sacrifice of the added weight and beefier sole.  Now if theyd JUST release the persian violets in EITHER the v6 or metcon in tne US so i can blow more money.

Picked up the Persian Violets of the Free Trainer v6 here in Europe, after your previous comments and I must say I love them. The Metcon Is a better shoe for pure lifting but I really enjoyed the v6 for everything else, pretty much anything involving movement of the feet. The v6 also mould to my feet better, hug it in the right places.

I'm glad I have both and they will both serve a purpose in my routines.

Haven't seen the Persian Violets in the V6 any links?

I thought you said a few weeks back that you would get some grays soon?

Make sure you select a European country if prompted as opposed to the US.
