Reebok Nano X1 Froning Training Shoe Review
First Impressions: Best looking Froning yet!
The Reebok Nano X1 Froning is styling! The “Into the Storm” graphics and use of the classic white gum makes this one of the best looking Nanos I’ve seen.
The new Froning uses what works from the past and ditches what didn’t. Gone is the bulky midfoot strap that honestly was just there for aesthetics. In lieu of it is a cool slim lace strap to keep your laces in place. The signature bootie construction is still here – a nod to Rich’s aversion of tying shoes. Midsole/outsole the same as the Nano X1.
The upper is a noticeably different than the previous version and the conventional Nano X1s. It’s kind of like the X1 Adventure but slightly different – more of a textile feel. It seems like there is a lot more room in the forefoot and this could be due to the upper construction being slimmer than the other Nano X1s. I measured the length of both the conventional Nano X1 and the X1 Froning and they appear to be identical but the Froning feels bigger. My best guess is that the slimmer construction of the upper creates more room in the toebox. All this is to say you may want to size down a half size – I did.
Overall, another great shoe from Reebok. It’s an even better shoe if you sympathize with Rich’s aversion of tying shoes.

You know how most training shoes make you choose, either they’re solid under a heavy barbell but feel clunky for conditioning, or they’re flexible for running and jumps but leave you unstable when lifting? The R.A.D® ONE V2 breaks that mold.
The Metcon 10 feels like Nike finally struck the right balance between structure and comfort. There’s solid stability in the heel and midfoot, but the addition of ReactX foam makes it noticeably more cushioned than the Metcon 9. It still delivers that classic Metcon feel just with more versatility and comfort during fast-paced workouts.
Designed by U.S. veterans, this no-frills trainer brings an authentic, rugged edge to the performance space. From the first wear, it’s clear this shoe was made to go hard—whether you're hammering through a Hero WOD, HIIT, strength circuits, or just racking up steps on a busy day.
