Nike Metcon 7 First Impressions
There is A LOT going on with the Nike Metcon 7. Compared to the 6, nearly the entire shoe has been reworked with various performance supporting aspects.
In this Nike Metcon 7 first impressions video, I break down from a macro level the normal Nike Metcon 7 and Nike Metcon 7 Mat Fraser.
Thus far, I’ve enjoyed how the Nike Metcon 7 has fit and felt, and I’m curious how it does through my traditional battery of cross-training shoe tests.
With so many new changes to the Nike Metcon 7, there has been mixed feedback across the board from Nike Metcon fans on social media, which is somewhat to be expected when new models come out with a TON of changes.
In the next few weeks, check back for my in-depth Nike Metcon 7 review and my Nike Metcon 6 vs Nike Metcon 7 video breaking down the key differences between each model.
What are your thoughts on the new Nike Metcon 7?
Also, drop a comment below on this first impressions video, what would you like to see in future videos?

Dude!! You are a legend! You got em first as far as I can tell. I don’t count WIT. You deserve it. I can hear the excitement in your voice. Haha. Kid at Christmas! Good for you sir!!
Haha, thank you, Matt! I was a bit tooooooo excited to get these today and wear them around, tbh. I'm also totally geeking out over all of the changes, they make this model mucho interesting to test and try!
Looking forward to seeing the full review!
I've got metcon 7 mat fraser a month ago and to be honest didn't train with it so much. But after a few sessions of training at gym, I saw that seams were appeared in the toe of the shoe. I was surprised and didn't expect that shoes designed for crossfit fail that much quick
Dang…I’m sorry to hear that! Very frustrating
When I use the lace lock I use the top velcro to keep them tight to the tongue and the bottom velcro to keep the lock out of the way when I tie my shoes.. I'm surprised nike haven't got these for sale yet, I got mine on the WIT website here in the UK.
Yeah, I was playing with them more after and did the same! I’m honestly not sure if I like this feature or will even use it, how do you like it thus far?
It is odd, if I had to guess, something must have happened with the shipment/order because they’ve been available worldwide since July 9th on various other sites! This launch was very odd
@@thatfitfriend I don't mind it, I hate laces at the best of times I have a pair of Solomons with the lace lock they have and it's great but because the laces are so short on the metcon 7s tucking them away and the lace lock definitely makes me feel better. I'd never expect a launch to be anywhere other than the US first so I was very surprised!
@@mathewroyle-evatt5098 Solomons are sooooo good! I have a pair of their trail runners. I'm really curious to see what the masses say once more folks start training in them!
Right?? Pretty cool, TBH!
@@thatfitfriend I just bought a pair of gore tex ones for dog walking (rains a lot round here!) never actually used them for running. I've been into some barefoot trainers for running, had new balance minimus which I loved but can't seem to get anymore for some reason so I got some Merrel ones. The new balance had the longest laces in the world! I had to wrap them under the shoe because I hate them flapping so much!
Can’t wait to see the performance review. Keep doing your thing
Thank you, Mike! 💪
you're doing great! it's always a pleasure to watch your video. Small suggestion, next time in this first impression video add just a couple of moments where you're actually wearing the shoes (not necessarily during a training, for that there will be the full review)
Done! And thank you :) I have a fun coming out today with this model
I love color texture of nike , specially they mix purple into this metcon but i prefer laker color it will make this shoes more highlights with mixing dark colors.
Running has always been a major problem when wearing metcons ever since I can remember, adding Nike react foam to the midsole is obviously an effort to make this shoe more running friendly, in addition to that Nike also changed the insole, it's just a regular insole now, not meant to provide cushioning when compared to the previous models.
Overall, I see they tried to improve, but that desing... I might skip this one and wait for the metcon 8.
Does it also come with the lifting pads?
Yeah, I agree. These definitely feel a bit more forgiving for shorter runs (I just hit a .5 mile this evening and I'm a forefoot runner) compared to prior models, but at the end of the day, if anyone plans on running distance or buying them for running, I always recommend opting for a more dialed in running shoe - to your point. I'm not a fan of the "running" in the marketing/spec talk at all, tbh, as there's a lot of context needed there and I think it can suggest "good for running" which in reality is a "meh for running, lol". I feel like in the case of Metcons it's always a matter of picking which battles you want to fight and win in the case of trying to tackle everything.
Haha, it's funny, the first thought I had when receiving these was....what the heck is the 8 going to be like?
The 7 does not come with the inserts.
@@thatfitfriend absolutely agree with you. When I said good for running I meant the short runs in the workouts of the day at the gym. I use my metcons 6 for CrossFit but lately even the short runs have lead me to some kind of pain or injury, so I think the react foam is definitely an improvement.
@@thatfitfriend z
I really want to know the heel-toe drop for this shoe. I reached out to Nike and they said 4mm but I’m not convinced.
I’m going to reach out Monday and see if I can get a concrete answer as well. I’ll keep you posted!
It honestly might be 4mm, but The thicker midsole/heel make it seem a tad higher. We shall see 💪
@@thatfitfriend I just asked again and they said 6mm.
@@flynnkelleher9485 dope! Thanks for following up - it’s frustrating they never share it on the product spec page, tbh
@@flynnkelleher9485 Is this too high for weightlifting/leg day?
Dude! You should run through the numbers in the performance review i.e. construction aspect, I think they were meant for reviewers like you in order to be broken down in detail. Just an opinion. Looking forward for the review.
PS I kind of dig how the chrome finish will eventually flake off on the MF pair. It will kind of give the shoes some "character", just like how creases do leathers or some sneakers like worn Chuck Taylors.
That's a great idea! Plus, it will make it much easier for those not as keen to shoe construction to follow along. Look at Nike making everyone's lives easier, lol.
I agree - it will give it a nice worn look. Ironically, I actually LOVE when my shoes look more broken in and worn as opposed to new, so I def agree in regard to that being a pretty cool feature for someone not as interested in the novelty and newness of the look.
Obviously for long distance running, one should go for proper running shoe but What do you think about these shoes for HIIT or cardiovascular intensive workouts ( high knees, lateral shuffle etc) along with strength training?
Will this one shoe do both the jobs?
Should be fine 💪! Will have a better answer for you soon enough, but they seem more poised for shorter runs compared to prior models with the React Foam!
Isn’t React mid-sole for running shoes? The Nike ZoomX mid-sole has more energy return than the React. Reebok Floatride is similar to the ZoomX and is used for the Nano X1. although, i would prefer a minimum shoes, i was wondering is how they compare especially for running and plyometrics.
I've seen some different colorways and those don't have the numbers on them. I do like the Matt Fraser colorway but I hate how the chrome finish will flake off over time but it is what it is right? I just bought the Metcon 6. I have Metcon 4 and 5 so I'm curious to see how the 6 differs from the 4 and 5. I'm also curious to see how you like running in the 7s Jake. Your insight on sneakers have been spot on in the past so I do take your opinions seriously when buying training shoes. I do love my UA Hovr Rise 2. Down the road, would you be able to compare the 7s to the Hovr Rise 2 or even the 3? I'm curious to see how far off Under Armour is to Nike in the training shoe game. Thanks for your videos!
That's what I thought about the other colorways, but I didn't want to say with certainty, then look like a fool in case I was off on them not having the numbers. That's a good thing, then it's likely just the initial go-live colorway! I feel like this launch has been a bit all over the place with official details, generally, Nike is a bit more formulaic with Nike Metcon details, tbh.
Yeah, I'm interested, too, with how reactive the forefoot is it seems like these could be a feasible option for short-range runs, but will keep you posted for sure.
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback and share your experiences! I plan to do a BIG round-up at some point in the summer with a ton of models, so the Rise 3 will be included in there for sure.
Appreciate you and thank you for the kind words!
@@thatfitfriend I like the way you reply to this type of comment and I am also curious about the comparison between the different brand training shoes.
You differently deserve the subsribe!
@@reganfox7284 thank you so much! Great to have you 💪💪
Curious to see what the stacking height is and how that compaires to weightlifting. I always thought you need a more flat shoe for crossfit with not too much foamy stuff/soles so you can have more groundfeel. I’m very hesitant actually to buy these, i currently have the metcon 5 and like flat sturdy shoe with the steady and broad heel so you have good groundcoverage.
The offset seems to be 6mm in these per a comment thread on this video!
6 is solid and on sale if you need new and feels fairly similar to the 5 imo!
that violet colorway is starting to grow on me
It's honestly not as bad as I thought either! It's definitely an interesting main go-live colorway choice.
Hi Jake! First, I love your videos!!
I would love to know which sneakers you recommend me to take a step further in my training. I'm just a beginner.. for the last 1.5 year I've doing a combination of strenght training (not to heavy) and cardio (hiit, emom...).
I would like to have 1 single pair of comfortable, stable and functional shoes for everything... I'm between metcon 6, 7, reebook X and XI, which would you recommend me? (It will be my birthday present 😊)
Hey! Thank you so much and happy birthday!
Great question - honestly, I think every model would work for the context of your needs, but I'll share some thoughts below that I think each model excels in .
Nano X - Great price point ATM and good model for all-around stability and some versaitility.
Nano X1 - Probably the most "versatile" of these picks with their midsole construction
Metcon 6 - The most stable option up here and decent price points with them being on sale
Metcon 7 - Interesting and a good blend of stability + versatility. I do like the addition of the React Foam for versatility purposes.
Personally, I'd go with the model that you like best/feel the most drawn to that also aligns with your price point. They should all match your needs fairly well :)
@@thatfitfriend thanks a lot Jake 🌟😊
@@cote.cortes You're welcome! hope you have a great birthday!
I got size 8 and 8.5 of the MF7’s and trying to decide which to keep. Find the toe box a bit snug in the 8’s but length perfect on my larger foot, first perfect on slightly smaller ft. 8.5 toe box fits perfect but feels a little longer. You think they will break in much? Have only worn around the house.
I would check and see if you have heel slip in the larger pair. If you don’t and they stay secure, then the 8.5 would prob be the better call for overall comfort 💪
when you do the full review could you address also the insole? I saw a couple of videos and it is completely different from the Metcon 6's one
Yup! Can do 💪
I address it in my written article below, too. Review video dropping tomorrow
thatfitfriend.com/nike-metcon-6-vs-nike-metcon-7/
@@thatfitfriend thanks a lot! Keep it up in this way! May I suggest some closer framing on the shoes when you're reviewing each part (outsole, midsole etc.)
@@dariosimonepalmiotti2739 can do! Love the suggestion - thank you 💪
I'm not gonna lie at all, I'm not a fan of the overall look of these guys. But that's just me. They may have some toned down, easier to take in models.
Definitely a lot going on compared to prior models, there’s a black and white colorway that I thought looked awesome that’s a bit less loud than these two
Hey bro! I just got mine the other day and it’s the grey one. After running 5 KM on a treadmil, the number _002 peeled off.
Yesir! I noted in my latest vid that the numbers peel off on the outsole and midsole! I thought it was pretty freaking cool - how are you liking yours thus far?
@@thatfitfriend thank you for the response bro! I contacted nike customer service about that but for me this pair of metcon 7s is perfect.
@@ralphuy9857 of course, man! I think it’s intended to happen and it’s only on the violet colorway as a go live feature to highlight changes! Glad you like them 😊
@@thatfitfriend thank you bro! It’s all good. Enjoy those pair of shoes.
Now i can get the metcon 6 on sale
This ☝️☝️☝️
Its always on sale in outlets, 69 usd
@@Dayum286 nicccccceeeee 😂
@@Dayum286 not the outlet by me 🤣🤣. It’s been pretty dry since the pandemic
Nope great first impressions cannot wait to see the full review. Hopefully before the shoe drops in the USA
It looks a bit gimmicky with that velcro strap, rope rubber and those silly numbers. My guess is that heal-to-toe drop is at least 6mm, maybe even 8mm. Thank you.
Heel drop is 4mm
@@Kgsoloman-ou6wm Source please?
@@Kgsoloman-ou6wm It's 8mm mate. Confirmed by Jake.
I miss the Metcon 4. Can you tell if the 7 is wider than the 6? The 6 is too narrow.
Similar width to the 6!
The grey metcons are a peacock move 😎
I wear a size 10 in a romaleos 4 and it fits perfect, but I am normally a size 9.5 shoe size. Should I get 9.5 or 10 for the 7's? Thanks :)
Do you have training shoes now? What size do you wear in them and what model?
@@thatfitfriend yeah I have the nano X in a size 9.5. Tbh I would just wear the metcons for casual wear I don’t even do CrossFit anymore haha. Just love the looks of them! Great content btw :)
@@alecweinstein2810 got you! You should be safe in 9.5 in that case then.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback 💪
Great
Just got these and have the same issue I had with the 5 and 6. Lower heel means slight slippage and no matter what socks I wear they always get pulled down and bunch up. Anyone else have this issue and was able to resolve it?
How’s the sizing for you? Do you have a bunch of room in the heel/toe box?
@@thatfitfriend Sizing is an issue for me as I have wide feet so usually go up half a size. With the Metcon 5 I did get my actual size initially but they were very snug and quite uncomfortable.
Hyoerlifts like the 5 and 6?
No sir
Can I run on threadmill with these shoes?
I just 5 800s in them and they’re def better than the 5/6, but still not great for longer runs! If you cap mileage they should be okay!
How is the sizing?
Same as other metcons. True in length, but with a slightly more narrow mid-foot and toe box!
@@thatfitfriend I wear size 13 and have wide feet would u say go up to 14?
@@kylemathewson6778 Great question and that's a tough one. Because the Metcons have lower profile designs, you have to be careful sizing up a ton because then you may run into heel slip issues. TBH, I think a half size could be a good call, but full may be too much!
Def keep me posted if you grab a pair and update me. I'm always weary giving sizing recs over UA-cam especially in models like this that can vary pretty greatly for different foot anatomies.
I think the numbers make it look like a "prototype" shoe, not ready for the market yet!
Right?? In theory I get it because it is cool that they’re highlighting all of the features, but they def have the raw type of feeling.
I’m 50/50 on the numbers honestly. Luckily it’s only on the main colorway, I believe!
The black and gold color way looks sloppy almost like a 5 year old drew the gold lines on it.
*looks into Nike’s design room and sees 5 year old coloring the shoes with paints 😂😂*
Get some good shoes vato.
Nike's are junk
What’s a good shoe?
What’s up with the colors!?! That looks like men who like men will wear! What happen to manly colors Nike!!! 👎🏻
what
Are you serious bro? Nice homophobic comment. Are you scared that someone will see you wearing non-"manly" colors and assume you're gay? Oh the horror. The last time I checked, the wavelength of light that is reflected of a substance doesn't denote sexual preference. And who really cares? Grow up and enter the 21st century.
Got the Mat Fraser ones done a few classes at the gym in it love it.
Heyo! That's freaking awesome - I'm so stoked to go hard in these.
@@thatfitfriend very comfy from the word go and the heal feels stable, think they have a plate in them as well
