This is not a Nano...

Reebok CrossFit Shoes - Rich Froning Reebok CrossFit Compete

While some have called this shoe the "Froning Nano," beware... it is not a Nano. The Reebok CrossFit Compete 6:14 is a minimal competition shoe designed by Rich Froning together with Reebok. The lightweight shoe will be most popular with fans of the Merrell Glove, Inov-8 Bare-XF, Vibram FiveFingers, and the New Balance Minimus series--and with fans of Froning, as well.

In the video below, Rich talks about Reebok approaching him with an idea "We kind of want to make a shoe that you would compete in, not necessarily coach in or anything like that, but a performance shoe." So keep that in mind: this is a performance shoe for competition.

You will find that the shoe does not have the same cushioning or insole as your Nanos. Those not used to minimal running may have a tough time running long distances in the Compete 6:14's. You may, however, find it easier to squat deeper and to maintain a proper stance when lifting. Your feet will likely breathe better during your most intense workouts, and the lightweight, glove-like fit of the shoe may make you forget that you even have shoes on...

...but you'll never know unless you try them out.

The Compete's were released on February 26th, 2015 and have been hard to find since, but we happen to have a few in stock right now. You can find them on our Reebok CrossFit Page.

Here's what you've been waiting for! This is the Reebok CrossFit Compete 6:14 shoe. Stay tuned for February 26. Thanks for the takeover, Reebok. -@richfroning #ReebokAthleteSummit #CrossFit #CrossFitShoe #ReebokCompete

The 6:14 in the name comes from Rich Froning's Galatians 6:14 torso tattoo. The verse goes something like this: "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."
