When Reebok recently released its Nano X5, I had my doubts. I love the Reebok Nano X4 cross training shoe but it divides crowds; I find the mid and outsole stability lends itself more to a weightlifting shoe than out-and-out cross training, which means you can do less with it.
However, having spent some time training in the Reebok Nano X5s, I think this is Reebok’s best iteration of the Nano series yet. Comfier, more flexible, and therefore, more versatile, than its predecessor, the Nano X5 elevates the line-up with a new dual response midsole and decoupled metasplit outsole which allows its wearer to lift heavy, run, jump and everything in between.
