The most comfortable Metcon to date, the Nike Metcon Flyknit 3 Men’s Training Shoe delivers the flexible breathability of a Flyknit upper with an updated collar for comfort. Its drop-in midsole works in tandem with firm rubber in the heel to provide durability and stability for high-intensity intervals.
Features of the Metcon Flyknit 3 Training Shoe
Flyknit upper delivers durable, yet lightweight flexibility. Stretch-woven bootie provides a sock-like fit. Firm rubber in the heel provides durability and stability. Synthetic overlays in high-wear areas such as the toe and lateral side enhance durability. Molded flex grooves in the forefoot allow your foot to move naturally. Flywire technology integrates into the laces at the midfoot for a dynamic fit that helps keep your foot in place without restricting natural movement. Firm rubber in the heel provides durability and stability for high-intensity intervals.
Flyknit Origins
Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners craving a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability – all in one layer – was refined. The result is a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper. This unprecedented precision maximises performance while reducing the material waste of traditional cut and sew by an average of 60%. The equivalent of six recycled plastic bottles are used in every pair of Flyknit shoes, saving millions of kilos of material from reaching landfills.
