Product Highlights

The Nike Metcon 3 keeps all the critical design components of the previous Metcon series while introducing an updated drop-in midsole—for max stability + flexibility in the forefoot—along with a new range of colors. This is one of the most versatile, high-performance cross-training shoes ever developed, and it’s trusted by a wide range of athletes at the highest levels of competition.

Pros & Cons

Bottom Line

Welp, it looks like the first sightings of the new Nike Metcon 3 are appearing from the wild.

It’s crazy to think that the Nike Metcon 1 was just released, but these new Metcon 3’s look freaking HOT!

These appear to feature a fly-knit type outer with an updated sole and side panel. If they’re anything like the Nike Metcon 1’s or 2’s we can be sure they’re going to be popular and a great shoe for training.

The heel looks to be different as well with a more contoured shape and somewhat shiny, similar to some of the more recent Kobe basketball shoes.
