About this deal
For versatile training, including HIIT, athletic-style sessions, and hybrid workouts, I’ve enjoyed the performance of the Nano X3. This shoe does a good job of blending responsiveness with stability for this training context. In terms of the Lift and Run Chassis System, this all-new component sits comfortably in the midsole and pairs to a dome TPU unit in the heel that changes rigidity depending on your load. Getting under a barbell squat? The TPU hardens to promote a static, stable base. Getting some miles in on the treadmill? Expect to feel a heightened sense of comfort as the unit softens for a responsive yet cushioned ride. How to Choose Which Gym Shoe is Right for You The Reebok Nano X3 will work best for athletes and lifters who like to blend multiple workout modalities together on a weekly basis. For example, the Nano X3 was stable enough for 500 lbs deadlifts, but also responsive enough for fast 800-1,600-meter runs which can make it a viable option for things like HYROX.

The main changes from X2 to X3 are the unisex sizing, the L.A.R. Chassis in the midsole, and updated tread pattern. Otherwise, the shoes are pretty much the same—similar upper, similar lacing system, similar tongue, similar rope guard, and similar overall shape. Additionally, the shoes feature new midsole technology proprietary to Reebok. It’s called the “Lift and Run (L.A.R.) Chassis System” and it supposedly supports both running and lifting better than any other shoe available today. According to a press release, the heel clip has been updated on the Nano X3, as has the heel shape. Reebok calls the shape of the heel cup “sleek” although I can’t say I noticed much of a difference between the X3s and X2s. Toe BoxAnother major update with the Nano X3 is Reebok’s utilization of their Lift and Run (L.A.R) chassis. This is a feature that is intended to make the midsole a little more versatile regarding its stability and versatility.

I like that the snugger fitting upper, however, I did notice that it folds a bit at the bottom of the toe box if you lace your shoes tight. This is more of a cosmetic gripe than a performance limiter, by the way. These shoes will more than likely take a few sessions to break in and they won’t come out of the box super mobile. Performance Breakdown The Reebok Nano X2 is a great shoe for the general fitness enthusiast who likes to do a little bit of everything.

That being said, If you have notably narrow feet and typically feel like you’re swimming in Nanos, then in your case, you may want to size down a half size to play it safe, but I think that will be the only exception in this model.

If you have additional construction-related questions about the Reebok Nano X3, drop a comment below. What’s New With the Reebok Nano X3’s Construction? New and improved” is sort of an understatement when it comes to the Nano X3. Thanks to a reworked FlexWeave upper and innovative Lift and Run Chassis System, this latest iteration is quite different from previous profiles. For one, the upper has a more rigid feel to it that doesn’t stretch as much over extended use. This helps create a more secure setup that can keep your feet contained whether just starting a program or wrapping up a routine. Over the course of my testing and review process with the Reebok Nano X3, I’ve found a few pros that I really enjoy with this shoe. 1. Good Well-Rounded PerformanceSince this shoe is designed and rooted in versatility, I wanted to see where its performance excels in different areas and assess where it starts to fall short. In the Reebok Nano X2, the name of the game was to go down a half size for most foot anatomies sans wide feet, however, I don’t think that’s going to be the case in the Reebok Nano X3.
