Reebok Nano 7 Review

Looks and Features

As the shoes which invented the segment, the Nanos have been on the cutting edge of this type of shoe. Reebok introduced the wide toe box, low drop, and durable materials which have become staples in these types of shoes.

The newest Reebok Nanos are a new look, keeping the familiar outline and features but doing away with the CrossFit branding and kevlar that were large parts of the Nano 5 and 6.

Fit and Feel

The Nanos have a fit and feel unique to them. It’s a combination of a snug heel, wide toes, and forefoot support which I haven’t found in other shoes.

The Nano 7’s is now made up of a new meshlike material which is light, durable, and breathable. While the kevlar is gone, the lateral support is still there. In fact, the Nano 7 has very aggressive support built in around the forefoot.

It took me a little while to get used to that as it’s absent in all the other shoes which I’ve worn, but once I did, I found it to be very supportive and useful in connecting my foot to the shoe through all types of movements.

Performance

The Nano 7s are really solid shoes designed from the ground up for exactly what you’ll be doing in the gym every day.

The heel is dense and won’t squish under heavy weights while the midfoot and toe are flexible enough to allow for short runs.

The shoe also has excellent lateral support and ground feel, so you’ll feel connected and strong during jumping and agility based movements.

Conclusion

If you like the fit and feel of previous Nanos, you’ll really love the Nano 7. It’s a great refinement on a formula that works and you aren’t locked into getting the rainbow sherbert colorway since Reebok offers a lot of options.

If you’re looking for a new shoe for your rotation, the Reebok Nano 7s are a solid choice. They’re well rounded, durable, and will be a great overall kick for the gym.
