Like the popular Nike Metcon, No Bull, and Vans Ultrarange, these shoes are making waves in the fitness industry. The Nano was already a hit before but with the new tech involved, I’ve noticed many more people using them in the gym! The first thing to like about the Reebok Nano X3 is its range of performance. I like how well-rounded this model is and that it performed well for the wide range of training tasks I’ve thrown at it.

The Floatride Energy foam gives the forefoot a nice level of bounce and I feel like the L.A.R also adds to this shoe’s springiness and its ability to feel comfortable during landing phases of jumps. The heel compresses a tad in this context, which I like. Firstly, if you like lower heel-to-toe drops, then I don’t think you’ll enjoy the 7mm heel-to-toe drop in this model.

When it comes to running, the Reebok Nano X3 feels very similar to the Nano X1 and Nano X2 but does have a slight edge for faster-paced runs, in my opinion. I think this has to do with the new L.A.R chassis system. In the context of weight training, the Nano X3 provided a nice level of stability when squatting well over three plates and when deadlifting up to 500 lbs. They also did a pretty good job for general strength sessions on machines and with dumbbells. My only gripe with the Nano X3 for versatile training is that they do take a bit of time to break in which I’ve mentioned already in this article. I would not expect these to feel perfect the first time you wear them and I’d give them a week or two to feel better for this training style. Testing the Reebok Nano X3 for Short Runs and Daily Wear

New and improved” is sort of an understatement when it comes to the Nano X3. Thanks to a reworked FlexWeave upper and innovative Lift and Run Chassis System, this latest iteration is quite different from previous profiles. For one, the upper has a more rigid feel to it that doesn’t stretch as much over extended use. This helps create a more secure setup that can keep your feet contained whether just starting a program or wrapping up a routine. As a taller lifter, I also like the slightly higher heel-to-toe drop as it gives you a little more “heel” for lower body exercises. If you like shoes with slightly higher heel-to-toe drops, then I think you’ll also enjoy how the Nano X3 feels for leg days.The outsole on the Nano X3 has also been reworked and the consistent rubber outsole with a lug pattern that we saw on the Nano X1 and Nano X2 is no more. The Nano X3’s outsole is fully rubber and features a smoother lug treat patterning. The Reebok Nano X3 delivers a versatile performance that should accommodate a wide range of needs for different athletes and lifters. This model works well for heavy lifting, versatile training, short runs, and athletic-style training. 1. Great for athletes and lifters wanting versatility Additionally, the shoes feature new midsole technology proprietary to Reebok. It’s called the “Lift and Run (L.A.R.) Chassis System” and it supposedly supports both running and lifting better than any other shoe available today. Comfortable, color scheme, and fit are awesome,” wrote one reviewer. “Great performance and exactly what I needed for cross training.”
