Nike’s Metcon 10: A Decade of Training, Perfected
by Adriano Batista
Ten years ago, Nike introduced the Metcon, a shoe built for the grind of cross-training. Now, the Metcon 10 arrives as the lightest, most stable version yet, designed to handle every part of an athlete’s workout without compromise.
The shoe stays true to what made the original a favorite: durability, grip, and a secure fit. But this time, Nike stripped it back, focusing on what athletes actually need. The ReactX foam midsole adds bounce for sprints and jumps, while the updated Hyperlift plate in the heel keeps things steady during heavy lifts like squats and deadlifts. The result? A shoe that doesn’t force you to choose between stability and mobility.
Small tweaks make a big difference. The toe box is wider, the outsole grips better, and a reinforced upper stands up to wear without adding bulk. A midfoot band locks the foot in place during quick cuts and lifts, while a TPU heel clip keeps you steady during handstand push-ups. Even the laces stay tucked away, so there’s no mid-workout adjustments.
Nike Trainer Rad Lopez puts it simply: “The Metcon 10 feels responsive when you need speed and solid when you need strength.” Trainer Claire Prince adds that the lighter build lets her focus purely on her lifts, not her footwear.
From rope climbs to HIIT sessions, the Metcon 10 is built to last. The rubber outsole wraps up the sides to resist abrasion, and strategic cutouts keep the shoe flexible without sacrificing support.
