The Nike MetCon 9 is finally here entering its 9th edition, the nike MetCon has become the go to training shoes for the crossfit community. In this video we'll be rounding up what has changed between the Met Con 8 and 9, when and where you can get your hands on a pair? and is it worth you upgrading?

Following the pattern, we've seen of nike releasing a more radical redesign of the shoe ever two years, we've got a lot to get through and will be sharing some of your early reaction to the shoes release. Do share your thought in the comments and this video with friends who appreciate the metcon shoe.

Beginning with the upper of the shoe which looks to be steady evolution of the cross stitch mesh we've become accustomed to with the metcon 8, rather than a radical redesign. That cross-stitch mesh that ran along the medial of the metcon 8 shoe, now looks to now run across the complete upper of the metcon 9. A notable change on medial side of the upper on the 9's is the raised grooved reinforced rectangular sharped area, most noticeable on the front portion of the shoe. This has always been a high wear area, so great to see nike addressing this in the metcon 9.

Based on the images we've seen so far, there looks to be the wider toe box than with the 8's and 7's which is something we've been holding out for a while now.

Moving onto the outsole, here we can see big changes between the 8 and 9. The outsole of the 9 is reminiscent of and harks back to the sole design we saw on the metcon 6 and earlier, with the main difference in that mid-foot where we now have a reduced foot print, with the rope guard wrapping under the medial side of the shoe and becoming an integrated part of the sole.

Now this is a great time of year to picking up a bargain on the MetCon 8, do grab yours one or the MetCon 9's as they are released with an extra 10% at WIT Fitness using the link and code in the video description.

Onto the rope guard, which with consecutive new iterations of the MetCons seems to just get bigger and bigger, it looks to be constructed from a harder plastic texture that what we've been accustomed to on the metcon 8, for heavy rope climbers this maybe a welcome addition, for those with an eye for the aesthetic I can't help but think, it's obstruction of the nike swoosh won't be so well received.

Moving to the heel of the shoe, which continued to carry that distinct integrated hyper lift insert with some minor alterations to the cutouts in the hyperlift, in comparison to the 8s there does look to be a little more cushioning around the Achilles, which is a good thing.

Now onto the laces, where we've seen a departure from the reinforced round eyelits to something that more closely resembles what we are used to seeing on the both the rebook nano's and nike zoom turbo's.

So when can you get & I get our hands on the Met Con 9? The answer is very soon, with these shoes dropping in or around June and July, I will update the top link in the video description to the best deals I find online, so do check that out.
Last and importantly, is it worth you upgrading? Well if the rope guard or medial side of the upper of the shoe have historically been high wear areas for you, the Nike metcon 9 is likely the right shoe for you and secondly if like me you've been crossing your fingers for a wider toe box for some time now, it may just be Christmas come early with the metcon 9s. If you appreciate sneaker history checkout this mini documentary on the nike metcon here, see you next one, this is MetCon Marcus out.
