As a result, the shoe’s core changes include a more responsive ReactX foam midsole, a minimized, updated Hyperlift plate, and firmer foam in the heel. According to Nike’s official release, these changes make the Metcon 10 lighter and less stiff than previous generations.
The forefoot has been widened too to allow for natural toe splay, promoting power transfer and balance. A revamped outsole includes more aggressive traction patterns, sticky rubber in the forefoot, and flex grooves to improve ground feel for exercises like jumps, sled pushes, and lateral cuts.
NikeThe shoe also features reengineered rope-guard overlays (slimmer but still grippy), a breathable mesh upper with haptic print for durability, and a new mid-foot lockdown band designed to minimize internal foot slippage.
