Nike bills the shoes as “durable and stable”:

The fully updated Nike Metcon 3 Men's Training Shoe is ready for your most demanding workouts—from wall exercises and rope climbs to sprinting and lifting.

CUSHIONED FOR TRAINING

An updated drop-in midsole is softer and more flexible in the forefoot—providing the versatility you need for running and cardio drills.

STABILITY FOR LIFTING

A flat platform and a firm-rubber heel give you the powerful stability you need for explosive lifting.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE

With embroidered reinforcement in high-wear areas, the Metcon 3 is tough enough for intense training and light enough to help you stay fast on your feet.

MORE DETAILS

Flywire cables offer powerful lockdown

Mesh on the heel and ankle help keep you cool

Heel clip helps reduce drag during wall exercises

Sticky rubber in the forefoot provides powerful traction

Textured rubber wraps up the midfoot for durability during rope exercises
