Need A New Gym Shoe? The Reebok Nano X5 Is Our Pick

Need a new gym shoe? The Reebok Nano X5 is as good as they come

If you’re looking for a new training shoe, stop, because we’ve found it

WHETHER YOU’RE LIFTING heavy, sweating through HIIT sessions or perfecting your form in that Pilates class you decided to sign up for, the right footwear is essential. As you’ve likely discovered, your regular trainers just won’t do. Unlike general-purpose shoes, training shoes are designed to match the demands of intense workouts and provide comfort, support and stability.

Finding the right training shoe is no easy task. Many of them blend in with regular shoes, making it difficult to decipher what’s a purpose-built trainer and what’s just for looks. If you’re facing this challenge, here’s a word of advice – trust in Reebok. The brand makes some of the best training shoes on the market, and they’ve just hit a significant milestone.

Reebok has just reached 15 years of innovation in training footwear. To celebrate, the brand is launching a new iteration of one of its most popular silhouettes: the Nano X5. The new Reebok Nano X5 promises to be the ultimate workout companion and it certainly looks like it will make good on that promise.

Designed for every kind of workout, from metabolic conditioning to dynamic cardio and heavy lifting, the Nano X5 is built to be adaptable, which is great for those who like to shake up their workout routine. The shoe boasts a lightweight, breathable design that blends comfort and stability with flexibility. And this is no amateur shoe. It has benefits for everyone from a gym hobbyist to a pro athlete.

A standout feature of the Nano X5 is its dual-density midsole, which has twofold benefits. The forefoot is engineered with responsive foam for movements like running and jumping, while the heel employs firmer foam to enhance stability during lifting. This combination ensures smooth transitions between different types of movements.

The shoe also introduces a decoupled Metasplit outsole, which improves flexibility and what Reebok calls ‘runnability’. So, if you’re doing shuttle sprints or weightlifting, you’ll have the traction required. Additionally, the plush collar will keep your foot locked in place, so there’s no chance of slipping.

Releasing on January 24th, 2025, the Nano X5 is available in a variety of colourways and is generously priced at $220. If you want gear that performs as hard as you do, head to reebok.com.au or a select retailer.
