Where to buy NanoX2
Nano X2 News
What's new in the 12th version of the nano? They are very similar to the Nano X2 with adjustments that make it an improved shoe.
Front side
The upper material is made of flexweave, breathable, flexible and very light.
The front is quite wideideal for those who are looking for a wide shoe.
In the area and the heel are reinforced to increase the feeling of support general.
In the lateral area they have included a rubber ropepro designed to improve the grip on the rope climbs.
Rear
This area of the shoe has been redesigned to offer more stability
- lower than the previous model to avoid discomfort in the Achilles area and around the ankle.
- increased padding for improved support.
The sole
The X1 was very reminiscent of a running shoe because of its great cushioning and in the X2 they wanted to return a little bit to the typical CrossFit shoe firmness.
The sole uses the floatride energy foam.
If we bend the shoe, we can see how the front part is very flexible, while the rear part remains more rigid, thus providing the balance between firmness and cushioning we look for in CrossFit.
The thickness and drop is the same as in the previous model:
- Drop: 7mm
- Tip height 12.5mm
- Heel height: 19.5 mm
How are they sized?
- If your previous shoe was another Nano: order the same size.
- If your previous shoe was of any other brand: ask for half a number less.
Recommendations
If your foot is narrow, you will probably find the Nano too roomy and uncomfortable. In that case I recommend other options for training such as the metcon 7.
