Bought this for $50 from our local Nike store. At first it was a bit uncomfortable since I have wide duck feet. But over time, it was okay for daily wear.
Won't compare to a Metcon, but it's a good budget model to beat up that can also hold its own in the gym, IMO! And thank you! Stoked to keep seeing your channel growing 💪
I just bought these and it says it will deliver in 10-15 days (which is sad) I'm gonna start going to gym, and i think these are the best in my case. I will review them here when they arrive. By the way, I bought the white/black-top ones. They look not bad.
Pls make a review for Adidas HVC wrestling shoe vs Gorilla wear high tops shoe as well as make a separate video for asics matcontrol 2 Thank you so much
If you could only buy one of the two (Nike Legend Essential 3 or MC Trainer 2), which one would you choose? Does MC Trainer 2 heel problem get in the way of training?
I'm thinking of getting an MC Trainer 2. The price point sounds really great but I'm concerned about its width. I'm a size 12. Do you think going one size up will help? Thanks!
what's a training shoe you'd recommend for both recreational lifting and casual wear? I'm a college student would love to have a pair that I can wear to class, part time work and the gym
Puma pwrframe 2, Nike Mc Trainer 2 or Nike essential 3 which one would you recommend among these 3 shoes. I mostly do weight training and rearly cardio. Which one do you recommend. Looking forward to your response 😄
@@thatfitfriend thank you, but if given chance what would you prefer among these both (I don't lift more than 300lbs). And also which are more versatile.
They are great shoes bur can't really be used for everyday things long term cuz i used it and i found them great but sadly they started breaking apart around the elastic band, the material started deteriorating
Thank you and great question...tbh, Nike doesn't have a current strong training + daily wear shoe. Metcons, React Metcon, Zoom Metcon, Air Zoom SuperRep, and MC Trainer are all pretty meh.
@@ammar-cuber varies! All running shoes are different. Training shoes usually have drops between 2-9mm whereas running is 0-12mm. Most weightlifting shoes are 15mm+
I need a good grip and good stability for my ankle strength training. This one should be good? I am a beginner, so nothing specific for professional training and etc.
What about the air max alpha trainer 5? Somehow managed to find one for the same price as the 4s lol. Mc trainer 2 or AM alpha trainer 5? Appreciate the responses btw!! @@thatfitfriend
Sizing on the MC Trainer 2 runs more narrow through the forefoot/midfoot and length is pretty similar! Upper volume is more snug in MC Trainer 2 around toe box.
Eh, not really if they fit your feet well, but their low-profile ankle may not align with every foot anatomy so I tread lightly speaking definitively here. I didn't have issues, though!
Thankyou... I watch your videos and i decided to buy Reebok nano x 3 at $56 than Reebok nanoflex tr2 at $41 sale prices from zalora, wanna take reign 5 at $75 but i cant use the discount T_T
I’m deciding which shoe to buy between this,the Nike legend essential 3 or the Nike downshifter 12, I do a lot of plyometric and change of direction work and short sprints too on concrete road (around 5-6 times a week) and I also sometimes do my plyos on a tennis hard-court ,so I need good traction and decent durability & cushion so I don’t twist my ankles lol, so which shoe would u think be best for me? (or if there is any other shoe you think would be better please do let me know p.s. below $100)
If you can fine an UA HOVR Rise 2, TriBase Reign 3/4, then I'd go for those models. They will out perform all of these Nikes and be better suited for your needs per your price asks. Otherwise, you may want to explore the Reebok Nanoflex V2!
@@thatfitfriend I bought this from Amazon sir and you are right. Upper part specially the tongue is super soft and quality of tongue doesn't match the body but its okay I'll use this for all around workout in the basketball gym and weights especially I'm super tight on budget.
@@thatfitfriend shoe should last longer since it’s getting used in gym only. I also have a few pairs of Puma and Adidas, which are good as new even though those are 2 and 3 years+ older! shoe is overall good, but I won’t recommend it just because of the weak elastic band.

@@97pixels yeah, homie, I think you’ll find with most shoes quality is going down lately - sadly. I think it has to do with companies skimping on materials due to inflation, tbh. That said, it’s so individual, so totally get your take. I have pairs from 5 years ago lasting longer than newer models. I’m with you
Simple intro, straight to the reviews. Thoughtful and measured comments . 100% appreciate this channel. Keep up the great work, Champ!
Thank you, Kirk! Honestly, I just hate wasting time with fluff, so I try to return the favor for others with the review content.
Bought this for $50 from our local Nike store. At first it was a bit uncomfortable since I have wide duck feet. But over time, it was okay for daily wear.
Glad to hear it's worked!
I bought this for 49 euros
The same shoe in blue color, everyone tells me that it is beautiful, and I recommend it to you
I practice aerobics, body combat lesmill, so choose nike mc trainer2 or nike legend essential 3
Would pick to Adidas Everyset trainers over these
Everyset! Wider and better performance
These are on sale at $50 now, needing some new shoes for that stair step thing. Will give them a try but I also might want to wear them daily 🤔
Great review mate ! Nice work with the channel !
Thank you, friend
Thank you!
That’s what I call REVIEW! 👏🏻
Thank you!
Thanks Jake... Can you make a comparison between Nike MC Trainer 2 and Adidas Rapidmove??? Regards from México
I can add it to my to-do! Plan to do a best budget video in the near future
🤔 I may need to try… great review‼️

Awesome - Keep me posted on how you like, friend!
They have heel slip issue as you mentioned. I think I'm gonna return them.
@@bartycrouchjr.8831 I'd do the same...slip issues are annoying and rarely go away.
Great reviews! What do you think about nike mc trainer 2 vs legend essential 3?
MC Trainer 2.
Thank you!

Thank you so much
I just bought this for $35. 11.11 sale in the Philippines
Can you do a review on Nike Airmax Alpha Trainer 5?
I can add it to the list!
Im waiting for that review
Thanks for another great review.
Thank you for checking it out!
I am ordering this shoe for not training or anything but to go places like malls so is it good? Would wear like 1-2 times a month
Should be fine!
If you could only buy one of the two (Nike Legend Essential 3 or MC Trainer 2), which one would you choose? Does MC Trainer 2 heel problem get in the way of training?
I'd go MC and at times if you're doing sprints/runs!
For lifting which one better ?
really great review of this rapper.
LOL
I'm thinking of getting an MC Trainer 2. The price point sounds really great but I'm concerned about its width. I'm a size 12. Do you think going one size up will help? Thanks!
I'd go up a half-size to start!
what's a training shoe you'd recommend for both recreational lifting and casual wear? I'm a college student would love to have a pair that I can wear to class, part time work and the gym
For sure - what's your budget? Can suggest models accordingly!
@@thatfitfriend ~$100 would be great but will consider anything up to $150 :)
This is great. To the point, reviews everything about this shoe.
Thank you!
What should I choose between the nike trainer 2 and nike superrep go 3 next nature flyknit?
best reviews ever
Thank you so much!
Hoping to win this shoe as my first training shoe! 🤘🫡
Should try the Nike air trainer one for a retro review or the alpha air max five trainer as wel
I dig it!
Puma pwrframe 2, Nike Mc Trainer 2 or Nike essential 3 which one would you recommend among these 3 shoes. I mostly do weight training and rearly cardio. Which one do you recommend. Looking forward to your response 😄
I'd go MC Trainer 2 or PWRFAME TR 2, both should be fine for recreational stuff! I'd skip on the Essentials
@@thatfitfriend thank you, but if given chance what would you prefer among these both (I don't lift more than 300lbs). And also which are more versatile.
@@bobbyreddy9015 puma then!
They are great shoes bur can't really be used for everyday things long term cuz i used it and i found them great but sadly they started breaking apart around the elastic band, the material started deteriorating
Compare to adidas trainer v, which one do you think better for advance lifting?
Both are fine. MC Trainer 2 if you have narrower feet, Adidas if you like a wider base.
@@thatfitfriend thank you for the information.. 1
I have wide feet. Even dunk lows hurt my little toe, do you think this will work for my feet? Or do you have any other recommendations?
These will be too narrow, I'd go Metcon 9 if you're trying to stay with Nike!
Great video! What nike would be good for daily wear and training?
Thank you and great question...tbh, Nike doesn't have a current strong training + daily wear shoe. Metcons, React Metcon, Zoom Metcon, Air Zoom SuperRep, and MC Trainer are all pretty meh.
@@thatfitfriend thanks for the info!
@@MrSandman597 if you want other trainers that work well for that dual functionality, lmk!
Sir In your opinion which is better adidas rapidmove or nike mc trainer 2?
Rapidmove
would you do a review of the project rock 5?
Absolutely! Waiting for its release patiently.
its already released 😀
@@GAB027O3 not in the US, unfortunately! I’ll search for them more tomorrow 💪
Thanks, you're AWESOME
Mc trainer 2 or legend essential 3 next nature?
I'd go MC Trainer 2 (or 3!)
Is this shoes’ squat performance comparable to actual squat shoes for deeper range of motion?
Nope, I would not say that! Their heel-to-toe drop is significantly lower to a weightlifting shoe.
@@thatfitfriend thanks for the reply, but how was the drop compared to regular running shoes? Is it higher than running shoes?
@@ammar-cuber varies! All running shoes are different. Training shoes usually have drops between 2-9mm whereas running is 0-12mm.

Yeah, should be fine, IMO!
@@thatfitfriend Thanks bro! I will test it. Your channel is very helpful!
Would you recommend i get these or the nike air max alpha trainer 4 which are currently on sale and go for a similar price?
I'd prob stick with these!
What about the air max alpha trainer 5? Somehow managed to find one for the same price as the 4s lol. Mc trainer 2 or AM alpha trainer 5? Appreciate the responses btw!!
@@thatfitfriend
How would say sizing/fit is compared to the Metcon 6?
Sizing on the MC Trainer 2 runs more narrow through the forefoot/midfoot and length is pretty similar! Upper volume is more snug in MC Trainer 2 around toe box.
@@thatfitfriend thank you Jake!
Thoughts on toe spacers?
Can be useful!
do u think mc trainer 2 r better than legend essential 3?
Yes!
Which shoe do you recommend that can be use for running and for trainings?
Do you have a price point you want to stick below? How much lifting/running?
$70-$100 price range. For light weight lifting and maybe a 3-5 mile run
Adidas or nike brands
so COULD i do heavy squatting or explosive squatting in these? (deadlifting and bulgarian split squats also)
You could technically do squats and explosive squatting in any shoe, lol. Yes, these should be okay if you're not wanting to spend that much.
Is there any heel slip when doing burpees or reverse lunges? Thankyou
Eh, not really if they fit your feet well, but their low-profile ankle may not align with every foot anatomy so I tread lightly speaking definitively here. I didn't have issues, though!
mc trainer 2 vs legend essential 3 which one is better?
Mc trainer 2
Hi! İs this shoe durable? Does it tear easily in the front?
Mid-level durability. Should be okay for general training!
Are these good for CrossFit, HIIT training’s ?
CrossFit, no. HIIT, ehhh, not the best imo!
it works for crossfit??
Eh, it can, but it will fall short for rope climbs and won’t be so specific!
Nike MC Trainer 2 VS Puma PWR Frame Re collection. Confused between these two for daily casual wear, comfort and daily morning walk. Can someone help?
PUMA will be more comfortable, imo!
Nike MC Trainer 2 or Adidas Dropset trainer?
Dropset!
I believe nike in general doesn't support the wide toe box enthusiast. thx bro..
Yup! I’m hoping if I keep publishing reviews calling this out they eventually will for their trainers 😂
Nike MC Trainer 2 vs UA hovr rise 4. which one do you suggest?
UA obviously
Nike MC Trainer 2 or Adidas Dropset trainer?
How is it for squats?
It can work!
Any suggestion like this training shoes but for wide feet?

@@thatfitfriend UA isn’t really available easily here in my country and even that Reebok model is unavailable :(
Is it me or are they very tight from the front? I'm a size 9.5 but it's a little big in the front, whereas the 9 is too tight
Toe box is a little snug in this model for sure! May be worth exploring different options that have a better fit for your foot's needs.
Yes they are very tight
Can I use these for kicking heavy bags?
Would pass on em for that!
@@thatfitfriend What sneakers have you reviewed that can handle the heavy bag, but also doubles as everyday shoes?
do they fit like the metcons?
Run shorter and toe box is narrower
Can i have 1 or half size up for wide foot and it can be better? Or you don't think.. Plz answer🥹
Half-size up or explore different models!
Are these shoes non marking?
Yeah, at least, should be!
is it very comfortable
Moderate. Toe box is a little narrow for my liking, tbh.
bro can we do running in these
Yeah, but they're a little clunky at times
Can I use this for basketball 🏀?
Eh, maybe for some pick-up, but the upper isn't the most secure.
