Nike Metcon 9 Men's training shoe You give your all to achieve a well-defined style. You push yourself for one person. You bear the constraints and fight to reach tailored fitness goals that are within your reach, because you work hard every day. The Metcon 9 helps you achieve them, with a wider HyperLift plate, rubber and cord reinforcement, and revamped foam. Approved by some of the world's top athletes, it's perfect for weightlifting and running fans, as well as for coaches and go-getters, making it the ultimate reference for daily performance. The plate allows weight transfer to the ground while adding strong rigidity at the heel. This sturdiness anchors and supports you, especially when you're lifting heavy loads. Optimal support The lace lock system attaches to the shoe’s tongue to keep you from worrying about your laces. It secures the laces in place, allowing you to focus solely on your training. Always higher The rubber wrap extends over the midfoot for more durability and support. This way, you can climb the rope with the same speed without ever worrying about wear and tear. It stretches from the midsole to the upper, providing extra support during multidirectional movements. Durability and freshness The lightweight, breathable mesh ensures optimal freshness while providing good resistance against scrapes, cuts, and quick sliding movements. Comfortable cushioning The dual-density foam offers responsive cushioning for lasting comfort during intense cardio sessions. The full-length rubber outsole provides durable traction for dynamic movements like cleans and walking lunges. The breathable fabric features a haptic print for a 3D effect that enhances durability, adds texture, and makes cleaning your shoes easier. This model offers flexible and durable support at the toes, so you feel no discomfort when your toes splay under the weight of heavy loads.
