Nano X2 Froning Training Shoes – Overview

Reebok and Rich Froning Jr. unveiled another collaboration in the form of Nano X2 Froning Training Shoes. The shoes are the most recent and the lightest iteration of the award-winning Nano X2 training shoe franchise highlighting design inspiration from the fitness legend. The Nano X2 Froning is designed to be a lightweight, highly functional game-day-ready shoe.

Reebok removed unnecessary details to make the airy weight possible and give the Nano X2 Froning a stripped-down design. The new iteration pays tribute to the Froning family’s history and love for the automotive industry as it also radiates power and dominance. The shoes weigh only 10.4oz in a unisex size 9 with a 7mm drop and are created for the competition floor while remaining versatile enough to support you in all your training demands.

The shoes now have a reinforced, breathable open-mesh upper with perforated details making the shoes ultra-lightweight and competition ready. The Floatride Energy foam is still there and provides lightweight, responsive cushioning, while the ROPEPRO+ outsole midfoot teeth add traction and bite for rope climbing.

Nano X2 Review

We haven’t gotten our hands (feet?) on this new edition yet – but we did review the Reebok Nano X2 – regular edition.

Here’s what we found…

Reebok Nano X2 Review - CrossFit Shoe 54
Reebok gives us a solid option in between a running shoe and the almost-too-hardcore Nike M7 and M8. These are pretty darn good!
Reebok Nano X2 Review - CrossFit Shoe 40
Here’s the Reebok Nano X2. What’s great about this? This evolved cross trainer has some drop (7mm) and some cushion – but not too much. It’s better for standing, walking, and running as compared to the very low-drop and stiff Metcon series.
Reebok Nano X2 Review - CrossFit Shoe 32
A side view of the Reebok Nano X2. I think this is the most versatile of the current crop of cross training shoes. It’s definitely the MOST COMFORTABLE for all-day standing and walking too – after all do you wear these only to the gym or CrossFit box?
Reebok Nano X2 Review - CrossFit Shoe 36
We’re getting good grip from the flat, all-rubber outsole.
Reebok Nano X2 Review - CrossFit Shoe 10
That’s an X1 on the right. The glued-on “NANO X.1” fell off. The letters on the X2 aren’t coming off.

Overall the Nano X2 has evolved from the X1 – they fixed a few things – and they kept what makes this shoe special (the drop and the Floatride cushion.)
