The real tree is the final amp off the year.. seen the sketches and it is indeed camo

 

[moparguy]

Thinking it will be like the PR Hunter from the 1s.

Very good guess.. not an exact replica but influenced by the PR

^^Just when I thought I was done with shoes, they reel me back in!!

Anyone score the Realtree Metcons?

 

[suavamente]

waiting on these myself

 

[spiderjericho]

The black and red ones are my favorite out of the intial color ways.

 

[moparguy]

Either one of these will be just fine for me.

blk/red on NDC and MrPorter

Very tempting but I’ll hold off until I hear more about them.

Anyone know where to get the all black first generation Flyknit DSX's (852930-004) in a size 11 for cheap?

 

[jcrusen]

I've seen the new DSX in person and the updates look good. Not a fan of these first three colorways, so does anyone have any insight on the January release and the colorways we're getting?

DSX 2 thoughts...

I've owned the Metcon, Metcon 2 and the Metcon DSX. I've been a size 10 in all of these models and have normal shaped foot, so I went with a size 10 in the DSX 2. When they arrived I was surprised at how big the size 10 was. I have a full thumbs width from my big toe to the end and the heel lift was ridiculous. I returned them and ordered a 9.5 on the advice from the employee at the nike outlet near me.

9.5 arrived yesterday. The fit in the toe box is right for me but the heel lift is still there. Just normally walking I can feel my heel coming up about a 1/2 an inch in the shoe. The new padded design in the heel doesn't lock you in and you can only get the laces so tight on the new tongueless design. The other thing I noticed as my heel lifted and went back down I could really feel the size plastic pieces on the heel starting to rub and I worry that could cause some issues with blisters during a wod.

I tried several different types of socks to try to correct the issue without any success. Going down to a 9 wouldn't be doable for me if the size in the toe box decreases as much as it did from a 10-10.5. So I guess I'll be passing completely on the DSX 2 with the way their sizing is.

Try your insole from the metcon 3 or Dsx and see if that helps.

It has for other people.

the metcon dsx flyknit 2 are the best metcons imo , especially aesthetically , they got that kobe shoe look that is pretty unbeatable

 

[moparguy]

^^I have a pair as well, really like them but I have terrible heel slippage on the right shoe. Find it very hard to work out in them. How about you?

 

[mrtidbit]

I'll swap my insoles when I get home tonight and see if that makes a difference in the heel slip and let you know.

Not a good look. Need that tight grip to allow those complex muscle movements or stability. I’d probably buy a pair on discount and there’s a better color.

i have them for around a month and a half and i have no issues with em so far , everything is perfect , i am thinking about doubling up on them with the white black pair if i find a good deal due to sale season in january
