What We Didn’t Like About The Reebok Nano X3: Serious Runners (and Shoeless Lifters) Beware It’s still by no means a “running shoe” - if I was forced to to declaratively utilize the shoe for a sole activity, I’d immediately suggest lifting - but Reebok’s serious strides have made the Nano X3 that much more suited for brutal workouts and HIIT classes alike.
unit, in conjunction with Reebok’s Floatride Energy Foam (thats the same cushioning they use in their running silos) that allows for just a hair more cush than the traditional steel-like Nano midsole, a fact you’ll absolutely appreciate on the last couple sprints. There’s new and very discernible cushy-ness to each stride, and while the shoe is heavy for a cardio-focused trainer, I didn’t experience the traditional clunkiness you feel from lifting shoes. I’ll admit that I was somewhat sceptical of the tech - given the antithetical nature of heavy lifting and running, it seemed like a big ask - but there genuinely is a notable difference from when we tested the Nano X2, especially on the movement side.
