The Nike Metcon 8 is now a reality, the new evolution of one of the best-selling trainers focused on strength training such as weightlifting and especially crossfit. A model that has a large number of followers and that in this eighth edition brings with it minor modifications, while maintaining the same essence as its previous versions.
The most visible changes in these crossfit trainers are the modification of the upper material and the reduction of the Rope Climb area, although it still maintains its React technology in its midsole to delight the most demanding users. In the following lines we will try to detail the most notable changes of the new Metcon 8.
Nike has opted to maintain the structure of the trainer and, of course, continues to include React cushioning technology, making it comfortable for the most demanding workouts and competitions. At the same time, it provides the necessary reactivity to transmit all the force generated from the soles of your feet to the other upper body parts.
It is in the upper of the Metcon 8 that we see one of the most significant changes compared to its predecessor, the Metcon 7. The material of the front part has been modified to provide greater strength in the event of tears or rips. It can also be seen that this part is divided into two parts, with a more solid material on the outside, probably with the aim of giving greater consistency and durability to its use.
Another of the modifications that can be seen in this model is the significant reduction of the Rope Climb area, the external area that allows the rope to slide in self-climbing exercises, thus providing a more attractive design without affecting its effectiveness.
The Oregon-based company has opted to slightly reduce the heel padding and has eliminated the Flying wire from the lacing holes in order to facilitate the insertion of the laces.
Nike has mainly opted for changes to the functionality level of the Metcon 8, although the change in the front part of the upper may bring more breathability and consistency to the upper. We are sure that it will continue to be one of the public's favourite trainers due to its comfort, fit, grip and performance.
