Nano X2, Nike Metcon 7/8, UA TriBase Reign 4, Adidas Dropset. Those are models I'd start with! Thank you, friend!

Hey Jake, great work! Been waiting for long to see a video like this! How does any of those compare with an old model of metcon or nano that could be found for the same price? Im hesitating between a nano 9 and the nanoflex TR2. Which one do you think would be better for crossfit / training?

@thatfitfriend

Жыл бұрын

Go Nano 9 if you have access to them and they’re decently priced. Nanoflex is a good option, but I’d go 9 if you have the opportunity 💪

Bought puma fuse 2 after watching your review, and then nano x2. Superb quality. Will try nanoflex tr 2 in near future. But my wife already using it tough lol

Nanoflex TR 2!

Hi, just watched and read a bunch of your reviews on training shoes as I want a pair for the gym. I tried some nike metcon 7s but they made my feet hurt (something to do with width or arch support idk). Anyway, Reebok has 40% off right now so i can get fantastic deals on the nano X2/6000. Are these better than the TR 2s? I only started at the gym recently so while im doing barbell work (deadlift, squat) it isn't very heavy 😅 and i plan on joining in with some HIIT classes and trying some plyometrics. Are they the right shoes for me? Though it best to ask you as you are the expert!! 🙂

@thatfitfriend

Hey! Thank you so much for checking out the content. I'd go Nano X2/6000 - they'll be solid for you, especially if you're getting them for 40% off!

Hi, thanks for the advice. In your opinion, does it make sense to buy the Nanoflex V2 if I currently already have the Nanoflex TR ? I use them mainly for CrossFit and running workouts. Would you possibly have some advice on which budget shoe to buy ?

@thatfitfriend

Жыл бұрын

IMO, if you like your Nanoflex TRs and are in need of a new model, then I'd go TR 2s. They're a better model than the original and will be a strong well-rounded performer.

Hey Great video! Im a person that cant decide what shoe is best and i dont have the money to buy every that im seeing so, i want to ask a question: The shoes that im using are a really old nike runing shoes, i wanted something new with way less foam(so i can feel the ground more), i have been having problems of being stable doing exercises. Im seeing 3 pairs: Adidas Total, Pumas fuse 2.0 and NANO X2 , i cant decide which of them will be best for me. Im just a casual, wanting to build muscle until a certain part and be healthy. I do squat, deadlift and more(involing machines or dumbbells). Im tiny so tiny feet, and im not very heavy. What of these can you recommend me? If you have other pair that you think it can help me, tell me. Thank you for Reading. 😄

@thatfitfriend

Жыл бұрын

I'd go Nano X2 if you want a little more drop AKA a shoe with a slightly heel. If you want a flat shoe, then the Adidas The Total can be a great option especially if you want a lower-to-the-ground feeling shoe! Either or should work well, so I'd make your choice based on the heel-to-toe drop you like!
