Time to Weigh In: Reebok CrossFit Nano Series

Many of our customers were curious about the weights of the different generations of the Reebok CrossFit Nano. In an attempt to satisfy that curiosity, we lined them up and put them on the scale. How did they weigh in?

All weights are taken from a Men's size 8.5.

Nano U-Form:

The world's first shoe developed by and for CrossFitters, the Reebok CrossFit Nano U-Form has an athletic mesh upper, side wall lug wraps, Duragrip toe cap, and an IMEVA midsole. The first generation, shown here in Nacho / Club Blue / Flat Grey / White /Gravel, weighs in at 0.55 lbs, or 8.8 oz.

Nano 2.0:

The Nano 2.0 was next, with its DuraGrip toe technology, high abrasion rubber outsole and slightly more cushioning than the U-Form. The 2.0 also weighs in at 0.55 lbs (8.8 oz).

Nano 3.0:

The third-generation Nano introduced the DuraCage, making the shoe more durable, flexible, and giving it a new aesthetic. The sole was also made more durable for rope climbs and stability for Oly lifts was added in the heel. Shown here in Violet Volt / Green Smash , one of many superhero-inspired colorways released specially for the Nano 3.0's, it weighs in at 0.6 lbs, or 9.6 oz.

Nano 4.0:

And this year's model, the Nano 4.0 came with more updates to the DuraCage and RopePro protection wrap. The upper received additional updates in the form of better mesh lining to make the shoe more breathable. Perhaps the most significant update for the 4.0 was the improved heel cup, making it even more stable for lifting. Like it's predecessor, the 4.0 weighs in at 0.6 lbs (9.6 oz).

So while many reported feeling lighter when running in the Nano 3 and 4, they are actually slightly heavier than the previous versions of the shoe. This is likely due to the additions of more durable materials. Many customers agree that the durability of the shoe is worth the slight addition in weight. What do you think?
