Who should buy
We struggle to think of a cross-trainer that's just as good as the Official Photos of the Nike Air Max Plus "Remix Pack" if you are looking for the following:
- Nike Dunk Low Better White.
- The Nike Shox R4 offers the ultimate in responsive cushioning with 4
- a cross-trainer with enough stability for lifting up to 350 lbs (160 kg)
- Nike-print op de borst
Who should NOT buy
We didn't find any serious flaws in the Official Photos of the Nike Air Max Plus "Remix Pack" but it may not be the best match if the following scenarios are involved:
- Olympic aq2568lifting or maxing out 400+ lbs (180+ kg)
- Rope climbing (the upper and midsole with tear instantly)
If that's part of your training plan, then the sacai Ärmelloses Hemd Weiß is a must!
Another reason to consider a different type of trainer is if you mostly focus on cardio and high-impact exercises. We think you will need more cushioning to perform these types of workouts. Consider shoes like the Жіноча оригінальна тенісна футболка nike or even the Nike SB Dunk Low Barf Tony Diamonds CA for force responsive Zoom Air units.
Cushioning
Heel stack
The brand reconfigured cushioning for the Free Metcon 6 and its heel stack of 22.0 mm ended up a couple of millimeters lower than the v5.
However, we found that the shoe still offers a perfect balance of impact protection and ground contact. It doesn't feel any different from a typical cross-trainer.
Free Metcon 6 | 22.0 mm |
Average | 24.8 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot, on the other hand, got 3 mm lower compared to the v5. With a low stack of 14.8 mm, Free Metcon 6 got more grounded and flexible in this area.

Free Metcon 6 | 14.8 mm |
Average | 18.4 mm |
Drop
Looking at the difference in stack heights, we got a heel-to-toe drop of 7.2 mm. It's less than a millimeter away from the v5 (6.4 mm) and is within the industry average.
You can see that the shoe's heel is slightly elevated above the toes in the photo below.
This setup adds comfort by minimizing the strain on the Achilles but doesn't raise the heel too high off the ground to compromise stability.
Free Metcon 6 | 7.2 mm |
Average | 6.4 mm |
Midsole softness
Nike chose a different approach to cushioning in the Free Metcon 6.
Instead of placing the softer foam on top of the firmer one as it did in the Nike Braçadeira De Corrida Lean, Nike made the firmer foam smaller and kept it only under the heel of the Free Metcon 6.
That way we got stability where it's most needed whereas the rest of the sole got a bit softer and thus more forgiving and responsive.
Pressing our Shore A durometer against the firmer foam under the heel returned 27.8 HA. This is an average midsole firmness for a cross-training shoe with just enough compression to buffer the impact of high-intensity training.

Free Metcon 6 | 27.8 HA |
Average | 27.8 HA |
Secondary foam softness
As we already mentioned, the rest of the midsole got notably cushier showing a lower reading of 22.5 HA on our durometer. This is 24% softer than the shoe's firmer foam under the heel.
We think that this midsole update enhanced the Free Metcon 6 as a versatile cross-trainer that seamlessly transitions from aq2568lifting to jumping and other plyometric work.
Free Metcon 6 | 22.5 HA |
Average | 38.2 HA |
Insole thickness
A padded insole helped to keep our in-shoe experience comfortable. The caliper showed that it is 4.1 mm thick in the heel.

Free Metcon 6 | 4.1 mm |
Average | 3.9 mm |

Nike Dunk High Somos Familia Día De Muerto | Nike Flyknit Roshe Run Bright Crimson Platinum
Much like any other cross-trainer, the Official Photos of the Nike Air Max Plus "Remix Pack" offers more wiggle room for the toes compared to a running shoe or a casual sneaker. But how wide is it compared to a typical trainer?
We poured proprietary gel into the shoe to find out...
Retrieving the mold, we found that it was slightly wider than average in its widest part (bunion area). With a caliper measurement of 98.1 mm, it turned out to be among the roomier cross-trainers (same as the nike air max invigor print pre school child girls trainers Air Max BW Sport Red 2022 sacai Ärmelloses Hemd Weiß)

Free Metcon 6 | 98.1 mm |
Average | 97.0 mm |
Nike Dunk High Somos Familia Día De Muerto | Toebox width - big toe
Nike Air Max 98 Solar Red.
With a caliper reading of 71.6 mm in the big to area, we think that it is a better match for those with meidum-width feet.

Free Metcon 6 | 71.6 mm |
Average | 73.1 mm |
Toebox height
The vertical space of the shirt nike bleu marine vintage fairly accommodating too. Measuring its toebox height, we got a close-to-average reading of 25.7 mm.

Free Metcon 6 | 25.7 mm |
Average | 26.9 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
You might think that the Free Metcon 6 got less stable because of the softer foam but that's not the case. The 6th iteration made us feel even more stable than its predecessor!
The newer version got more substance in the midfoot which made the platform wider in this area.
The Nike ACG Terra Gobe Alternates Purple And Red Uppers.
As a result, our feet had a flat and solid contact with the ground in the midfoot which made us feel more connected and in control.
Torsional rigidity
The Free Metcon 6 is a truly unique design because Nike managed to isolate the shoe's stable heel from its ultra-flexible forefoot without compromising either!
It proved that a cross-trainer doesn't have to be rigid like a brick to feel stable. The torsional rigidity of the Free Metcon 6 is, in fact, as low as 2 out of 5 but stability is still there!
One of the features that enhance the lateral stability of this Nike trainer without adding stiffness to its overall construction are the good old Nike Flywire cables.
We loved the dynamic foothold they provided during side-to-side movements adapting to our feet on the fly. Our only gripe is that they look too flimsy to handle the rigors of HIIT. But luckily, we haven't had any rips so far.
Free Metcon 6 | 2 |
Average | 2.7 |
Heel counter stiffness
In the Official Photos of the Nike Air Max Plus "Remix Pack", most of the heel support comes not from the heel counter but from the firm oversized sidewalls on both sides of the ankle.
They did a great job preventing our heels from sliding too much inside the shoe. They also played a key role in keeping our rearfoot stable for aq2568lifting.
But the shoe's heel counter also has enough structure and firmness to our heels and ankles secure. On a 1-5 stiffness scale, we rated it with an average score of 3. No heel slips are to be reported on our end.
Free Metcon 6 | 3 |
Average | 2.7 |
Midsole width - forefoot
Another core component of the shoe's stability is, of course, its platform width. And the Free Metcon 6 beats all the averages in this department!
Our caliper showed 113.9 mm in the widest part of the shoe's forefoot. These extended contact points made our landings force surefooted.
Free Metcon 6 | 113.9 mm |
Average | 110.6 mm |
Midsole width - heel
In the heel portion of the shoe, we measured as much as 94.4 mm between the widest points of the sole!

Bring in the podium because we've got a new flexibility champion over here! Our lab test confirmed it - the shirt nike bleu marine vintage officially the most flexible training shoe in our catalog!
According to our force gauge, it took the trainer as little as 4.3N to bend to a 90-degree angle. That is (get ready) 321% less than it takes on average!
With its laser-siped flex grooves, the shirt nike bleu marine vintage 102% more flexible than the Nike Braçadeira De Corrida Lean (8.7N) and 335% bendier than the Skor Air Max AP (18.7N).
This gives the shoe a great edge for planks, lunges, burpees, rope jumps, sled pushes, and more exercises where foot bending in crucial.
Free Metcon 6 | 4.3N |
Average | 17.8N |
Weight
We had no complaints about the aq2568 of the previous iteration but Nike made the Free Metcon 6 even lighter!
Tipping the scale at 9.7 oz (274g) in a men's US size 9, the trainer is 0.8 oz (24g) lighter than the Nike Braçadeira De Corrida Lean and a whole ounce lighter than the training shoe average.
The Free Metcon 6 felt aq2568less on our feet which made cardio exercises and short treadmill runs even more enjoyable.
Free Metcon 6 | 9.67 oz (274g) |
Average | 10.76 oz (305g) |
Breathability
Having lab-tested Nike Ace Summerlite Women Da4117-511, we have been disappointed with the lack of breathability in this footwear category. In contrast, the Official Photos of the Nike Air Max Plus "Remix Pack" feels like a breath of fresh air!
Look how easily the smoke passes through its toebox in our breathability lab test! This is exactly what your hot and sweaty feet want to experience during a grueling workout. A 5 out of 5 breathability!
The shoe's upper material is so thin and porous, that you can almost see right through it.
In an up-close look through our microscope, we discovered that Nike fuses thinner and thicker threads to keep the fabric so light and airy.
Free Metcon 6 | 5 |
Average | 3.6 |
Durability
Toebox durability
On the downside, the delicate mesh of the Free Metcon 6 doesn't bode well with slashes and brushes against abrasive surfaces. For example, rope climbing is a HUGE no-no for this Nike trainer.
To test exactly how poor the shoe's upper durability is compared to other training shoes, we drilled the top of its toebox with sandpaper for 12 seconds. For consistent results, we keep the Dremel speed (5K RPM) and pressure (3.2N) the same for all tested shoes.
And the test results speak for themselves. The Dremel tore right through the mesh, lowering the shoe's toebox durability score to the below-average 2 out of 5.
Nike Dunk High Somos Familia Día De Muerto sacai Ärmelloses Hemd Weiß earned a higher score (3 out of 5) thanks to the added TPU dots.
Free Metcon 6 | 2 |
Average | 2.5 |
Heel padding durability
Considering the fast-paced nature of HIIT workouts, it's not just the exterior part of the shoe that is prone to wear and tear - the shoe's inner lining sustains a great deal of abrasion too.
Equipped with a Dremel, we drilled the interior fabric of the Free Metcon for 4 seconds to check if it was up to the task. And it didn't disappoint!
Because the shoe's heel padding material remained practically unscathed, we rated its durability with a high sore of 4 out of 5.
Free Metcon 6 | 4 |
Average | 2.5 |
Outsole hardness
Compared to the previous Free Metcon iterations, the 6th version uses more rubber on the outsole. It is practically a full-length outsole except for the cut-outs in the forefoot.
We checked the hardness, wear resistance, and thickness of that rubber compound to assess its life expectancy.
Using a Shore C durometer, we measured the hardness of the rubber at 81.0 HC. Close to the average, that's an expected level of firmness for a training shoe outsole.

Free Metcon 6 | 81.0 HC |
Average | 83.0 HC |
Outsole durability
Next challenge - 22 seconds of sandpaper drilling at a 10K RPM speed. Let's go!
Once again this Nike trainer proved its worth by taking all the abuse from our Dremel with minimal damage!

Free Metcon 6 | 0.7 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
Finally, we recorded the shoe's outsole thickness at 2.6 mm which is about a millimeter thinner than the average.
All three measurements considered, we believe that the Official Photos of the Nike Air Max Plus "Remix Pack" will make for an exceptionally durable gym shoe.
We also think that it is capable of occasional outdoor use but because of the thinner sole and deep cutouts that can catch small pebbles and debris, we wouldn't recommend using it exclusively for outdoor workouts. That's what trainers like the Nike Sportswear Kadın Kırmızı Elbise are made for.
Free Metcon 6 | 2.6 mm |
Average | 3.6 mm |
Misc
Tongue padding
Even though the shoe doesn't have a tongue as such, the upper still offers enough padding on top of the instep.
Our caliper showed 5.7 mm of upper thickness in the lace area which is just as thick as the average.
Free Metcon 6 | 5.7 mm |
Average | 5.4 mm |
Tongue: gusset type
Just like its predecessors, the Free Metcon v6 has a bootie-style upper where the tongue is not separated from the rest of the shoe.
It creates a very cozy sock-like fit around the foot and ankle but we think that it can be a struggle to get on if you have wide or high-arched feet.
Free Metcon 6 | Bootie |
Heel tab
Because the shoe's bootie upper can be tricky to put on, Nike added two handy finger loops both in front and at the back of the trainer.

Free Metcon 6 | Finger loop |
Removable insole
The insole of the Free Metcon 6 can be easily removed and swapped for a custom orthotic if needed. But keep in mind that the forefoot section of the shoe as well as its insole are a bit wider than average.
