The Metcon is known for two things: superior stability and durability for functional movement. Variety was - and remains - the key driver and challenge for iterating the shoe. That's because one workout can include movements focused on strength, power, speed and endurance. Meaning the Metcon needs to handle a rope climb, a heavy clean and jerk, a 400-meter sprint and handstand push-ups.
But not all athletes are doing advanced gymnastics skills or going for their one-rep maxes. That's why, since 2015 (when the first Metcon released), Nike designers have been working to create other versions of the shoe to help master skills like agility ladders and lateral cuts - things that, admittedly, the original Metcon wasn't built for.
The Metcon family now includes four silhouettes. Each has the stability and durability the Metcon is known for, and also include unique features that make them great for particular movements and workouts, ensuring there is a Metcon for every athlete.
