Thus, since the Metcon 1, the challenge has always been to push the boundaries of stability, durability and comfort to continue to support the evolution of training.
Throughout the design and engineering process for the Metcon 5, Nike's top CrossFit athletes - including three-time Fittest Man on Earth, Mat Fraser, and six-time CrossFit Games athlete Lauren Fisher - and everyday athletes put the Nike Metcon 5 through more than 9,000 hours of hardcore testing. They maxed lifts, hammered out 400s, did wall ball after wall ball, burpee box-jumped and more.
Additionally, grip, traction and abrasion-resistance testing was done in the Nike Sport Research Lab to make sure the data validated the design updates. The resulting shoe isn't just the most durable iteration of the Metcon, it's Nike's most stable, most durable shoe period.
