I’m looking forward for the performance review of this shoe, as I’m planning to buy it! When will you publish it? Good job with your reviews : )

@@simonefava7921 Hi - Probably not until December :( I am very busy with holidays and testing the GORUCK Ballistic Trainers. Having said that, these are the same insole/midsole/outsole as the regular Nano X. Have you tried those? It feels very, very similar, but with a less bulky upper. I think it is going to perform mostly like the regular Nano X.

Thank you for the review folks, recently had this in-coming as well so great to know!

Great review, thanks and happy weekend!!!

They used the same white, black speckled sole material in a Nike shoe they’re calling the “Oreo” haha. I ordered these im looking forward to receiving my footwear fit for a ninja 😎 great helpful video

I don’t hate it. And the colorway is very nice. Definitely need a performance review on that heel guard.

I was pleasantly surprised - I almost didn't order these. I'll put another update in a few weeks

I can't find these with size 12. Its these in grey unknown. Deciding between Metcon 6 Premium silver, or the React Metcon Turbo (grey /black). IYO Whats the cooler looking vs the ONE?

Are they stable and firm enough for deadlifts? Is it "mushy"?

@fitatmidlife927

Yes, very stable. It's the same outsole/midsole as the regular Nano X. Not a lot of cushion.

I actually prefer high tops, I just love the ankle support and I feel my feet more secure

Have you tried the NOBULL Trainer High Top? I"ve got a video of that one on my channel.

It’s hard to put them on, I hate that and I really like them though. I don’t understand why the laces are so thick also

@fitatmidlife927

Yeah, but at least it's got a pull tab on the heel. The NOBULL Trainer High Top is really hard to put on (much worse) and there's no pull tab.

I have them actually the bullky laces advantage that they don't get loosen while working out and you have to regularly tie them up again which i like

Nice review... You think the ankle support is weak?

@fitatmidlife927

Yes, because the upper is so thin. In comparison, the high top NOBULL Trainer is very stiff, and very supportive ( I imagine the mid-top is as well).

Have you noticed the insole that comes in the shoe is on the small side? On my pair, the insole doesn't seem to fill in the entire bottom of the shoe and when comparing the insole with that of my nano 6's (same size 9), the insole is definitely a tad smaller. Swapping the insole from my nano 6 to the nano x unknown actually fits it perfectly and covers the entire bottom of the shoe...curious to see if you have observed this as well?

Honestly - no. Mine don't have that problem. I'm wondering if they dropped in the wrong insole into yours at the factory??? I don't have a Nano 6 on hand to compare, but that came with the Unknown seems fine to me.

No heel cup YES!!!! The heel cups are made of flimsy plastic. If you’ve ever had a heel cup break you will understand why heel cups are terrible. Flimsy plastic heel cup can cut your foot if it gets crushed

I'm not saying this was a bad review, it was just not a very good review. You repeated a lot of stuff and you really didnt compare much aside from the look of the shoe. You also got it wrong. I went to check and reebok actually indicated that the shoes are decoupled.

This was definitely a "First Look" and not a full review. Reason being I just received these and I am in the middle of intensively testing other shoes at the moment. But, people seem to enjoy having a detailed, close-up look of these new shoes as soon as possible - because it helps them decide whether or not to order.

Regarding the decoupled outsole/midsole - Yep, Reebok marketing says it has it, just like the Nano X. But what I'm saying is it makes 0 practical difference whatsoever. At least in my side by side testing of all the cross trainers that have come out this year. I guess I'm not saying it doesn't have it, I'm highly skeptical that it actually does anything worthwhile.

Regarding the repetition - I Noticed that too after I edited. But I don't script these, I don't rehearse them, and I try to do "one take" and be done with it. Most people watch only a fraction of the video so I repeat some important points on purpose (and other times it's just because I've lost track of what I've already said.)
