The Men's Nike Metcon 8 MF Mat Fraser Red Sneakers in Black/White/Dark Smoke Grey is a cross-training sneaker that pays tribute to Mat Fraser, an American-Canadian CrossFit athlete who has won the title "the Fittest Man on Earth" five times. What makes this model stand out from previous versions is its lightweight construction. Although light, the sneaker has reinforcements in high-impact and high-friction areas. The addition of Nike React foam cushioning in the midsole keeps the shoe light while protecting against impact stress. Finally, the rubber outsole wraps around the arch, providing additional traction on slippery surfaces and assisting with rope climbing. Our StockX experts like the patches that honor Mat Fraser, including a goat above the Swoosh, "2ND PLACE" with a thumb pointing down, and "MF" in a fuzzy textile. The Men's Nike Metcon 8 MF Mat Fraser Red Sneakers in Black/White/Dark Smoke Grey was released on October 15, 2022, and retailed for a price of $130.
