NIKE METCON THREAD - 7s out now

whoiserock said:
I've worn Virus, Nike, and Skins, and honestly with these things, you get what you pay for.  Skins are far and away a superior product with noticeable difference in recovery and warmth of muscles.  That being said, if you're one of these people who only wears tights with no shorts or pants to work out a) you are a huge douche and b) the skins will eventually rip from Oly movements because the material is not designed to withstand the knurling rubbing against it constantly.  The Virus pants are made of a tougher material which is way less comfortable, but tougher to rip if you wear during Oly.  

Nike compression is borderline useless and basically just stretchy tights that are of no use and possess zero recovery benefits.

In summation:  Although the skins are more expensive, they are in fact a superior product.  If you are a douche and dont wear pants or shorts over your tights, get the virus ones.

:lol:. Agree with everything except the "douche" part. Don't get why people get bent over this.

Not all tights are built equal, there's this one dude I unfollowed on IG (atrain something) cause he works out in nike pro tights. Those are underwear. Meant to be worn under close. Virus pants are meant to be worn on their own. They are thick, like women's compression pants.

I think it looks ******ed to wear virus pants under shorts. Haha

Oly Lifters started that trend. If you got the quads, don't see anything wrong with it. Better not be frail with some weak *** lifts though.

Anyone got any leads on the Persians size 4? Trying to surprise my sister for her bday

Also was wondering if any women on this thread can answer this question; is a men's size 4 the equivalent of women's size 5.5 ?

I have been looking for 4's or 4.5's, but was told by a Nike CS via a IM chat that they most certainly would not have these sizes available, as these are only the men's CW's.  Has anyone ever seen a size run of 4's or 4.5's?  When NDC did their release of the persians, they only went down to a size 6.

 "is a men's size 4 the equivalent of women's size 5.5 ?"

My coach wears a 6.5 in womens and was pretty sure she needed a 4 or 4.5 in men's size.

A shoe for crossfit, sparking a conversation about crossfit. Mind bottling.

Like the low key love from haters playing the "I need a shoe for leg day" song. ****.

Rogue fitness showed a size 4 in the Persians so i assumed I just missed out on getting them vs them not really being released in that size
 
My girlfriend has 2 pairs and she sized down 1.5 for the first pair and 1 for the second.  She said that the there isn't much difference, she wears a 6 in women's nanos and has a 4.5 and a 5 in metcons.

those snatch shorts seem cool though. with the pubic padding. are those cool to wear alone?

anyway, I want the frasers already. so I can wear them with my joggers and bucket hats.
 
I won't say it's cool to wear the snatch shorts alone but I will say I was at regionals this weekend in MN and a guy wore them alone for event 1 randy.
 
The smaller sizes are out there - saw a pair of 4.5 men's in the purple colorway on eBay. I find it strange that Nike is so slow releasing colors on their site and that they don't even have the smaller sizes listed. Yet Rogue and FNL have released a lot more than on NDC.

Well at least this proves they exist but there's no way I can justify paying 100% mark up on SHOES. Can't believe there's 8 bids on it already

Sorry.. meant to reply to this. I usually wear a women's size 7.5 in nanos and bought the metcons in a men's size 6 and they fit great. I have 2 pairs.
