Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate | Who should buy
Having tested the Metcon Turbo 2 in both the gym and the lab, we think that it is most suitable for the following:
- gymgoers who incorporate short runs and a lot of agility exercises in their programmes
- people who do light to moderate weightlifting
- Nike Sportswear H86 Swoosh Wash Cap Total Orange Total Orange Headwear Mens Clothing
Who should NOT buy
We found that this Nike trainer hasn't got the durability or side grip for rope climbing. If this workout bit is a must in your regimen, we recommend the nike mens free brown sneaker store shoes instead.
Even though there is a slight change in its name, the Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate is a follow-up to the Nike React Metcon Turbo. If you have tried and liked how the React version performs, it's better to just stick to it since it's most likely sold at much lower prices now. It is also a bit lighter than the new edition. The current version performs only slightly Nike Blazer Mid Covered in Light Bone Shaggy Suede.
Cushioning
Heel stack
The amount of cushioning is pretty average in this Nike Metcon variation. Using a calliper, we measured the heel stack at 22.9 mm which is a couple of millimetres thicker than the OG Metcons and a little thinner than the Free Metcons.
To us, this felt like enough cushioning for short runs (less than 3 miles) and for the repetitive jumps we performed in this training shoe.
Zoom Metcon Turbo 2 | 22.9 mm |
Average | 24.8 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, the foam layer gets thinner than average.
A calliper reading of 15.3 mm left us perplexed because it definitely felt more cushioned in our gym tests.
Apparently, the trick is done by a Zoom Air unit under the toes. But more on that below.

Zoom Metcon Turbo 2 | 15.2 mm |
Average | 18.4 mm |
Drop
The difference in stack heights gave us a drop of 7.7 mm! That's pretty high for a typical cross-trainer and is actually on par with our running shoes.
Being 3.7 mm taller than what's officially claimed by Nike (4 mm), we think that this kind of discrepancy is unacceptable.
The higher drop makes the shoe more running-friendly but it also detracts from the grounded feel that many gymgoers might expect from a 4-mm shoe.

Zoom Metcon Turbo 2 | 7.7 mm |
Average | 6.4 mm |
Midsole softness
The primary cushioning in this Nike trainer is offered by the brand's reputable React foam.
Using a durometer to measure its softness, we discovered that at 22.4 HA, it is actually 21% softer than what we see in training shoes on average. Great news for those planning to use this trainer on a treadmill!
What's more, thanks to the Zoom Air unit embedded into the forefoot, we also felt a very welcome bounce. We thoroughly enjoyed this extra spring when skipping rope and doing other types of jumpy cardio.
If we have to pinpoint the shoe's highlight, it would be the Zoom. You don't experience this kind of bounce in other Metcons or most other cross-trainers for that matter.
The only shoe that could compete with the Metcon Turbo, in our opinion, is the Nike Court Borough Low 2 SE1 GS DB3090-100.
Zoom Metcon Turbo 2 | 22.4 HA |
Average | 27.8 HA |
Insole thickness
The Metcon Turbo 2 uses a drop-in midsole for cushioning. When measured alone, it has a heel height of 14.2 mm.
We do not recommend taking it out as it's going to leave you feeling practically Laser.

Size and fit
Size
Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate is slightly small (12 votes).

We found that the Metcon Turbo 2 fits true to size but there isn't too much wiggle room in the shoe's toebox for wide feet.

The toebox doesn't get narrower than average toward the toes either. The caliper shows 78.9 mm here.

Stability
Lateral stability test
It is true that you can't have it all.
But, in our opinion, the Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate came pretty dang close to giving it all! And by "all" we mean cushioning AND stability.
The shoe's low profile, wide base, and sturdy caging around the heel worked very well together to create a necessary White of stability for us. But do keep in mind that this is not a dedicated lifting shoe by any means!

Torsional rigidity
Designed with agility in mind, the construction of the Metcon Turbo 2 reminded us of a jazz shoe in a way.
The shoe's platform is split into two, one in the forefoot and one in the heel, which creates more flex and manoeuvrability for the wearer.
Because of that, torsional rigidity is close to zero in this training shoe. We rated it with the lowest score of 1 out of 5.

Average | 2.7 |
Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate
But the lack of rigidity in the midfoot is very well compensated for by the heel counter stiffness. In our manual assessment, we rated the stiffness as 3 out of 5, which is a little above the average for cross-trainers.
This area is responsible for holding the heel and ankle firmly in place, preventing potential wobble.

And if you are still not convinced of the shoe's stability, have a look at how wide its base is!

As mentioned above, Nike came up with a tricky design to fuse flexibility and stability in the Metcon Turbo 2.
Testing the shoe's pliability with a flexibility t esting machine, we checked how much force it takes to bend it to a 30-degree angle. Turns out, only 9.0N! This is notably less than the average!
Wow, maybe next time we will try and practice some jazz moves in this shoe. But until then, planks, burpees, and lunges are all perfectly accommodated with this flexible trainer.

Weight

Marketed as a shoe that's all about speed and lightness, the shoe left us baffled. How come the Metcon TURBO weighs more than the original Metcon?
Tipping the scales at 12.1 oz (342g) in a men's US size 9, we found that the Metcon Turbo 2 is:
- 0.2 oz (5.7g) heavier than the Metcon 8
- 0.9 oz (25g) heavier than training shoes on average!

Breathability
If keeping your feet nice and fresh all throughout the workout is a priority, the Metcon Turbo 2 is the way to go!
It is among the few ultra-breathable trainers in our catalogue. We hope that the video below helps you feel how ventilated the shoe is even through the screen.
For this test, we are pumping smoke through the shoe's upper while blocking the shoe mouth entirely to assess how much air passes through the material itself. This Nike trainer gets a well-deserved 5 out of 5!
To back it up, we also put the shoe against a light source. This video shows the toebox's impressive transparency as well as the large perforations on the sides.
In addition, we turned to a microscope for a close-up view of the mesh itself. We can see that there are plenty of ventilation holes in between the numerous threads.

Durability
Toebox durability
And just like that, the Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate failed miserably in our upper durability test.
Even though the shoe bravely resisted our Dremel for the first couple of seconds, it ended up with a sizable hole after the entire 12 seconds. Thus, we rated it as low as 1 out of 5.
This is to be expected of a highly breathable upper but unfortunately, it puts some limits on the shoe's usability. It is a no-go for rope climbs and other highly abrasive exercises.

The Metcon Turbo 2 did slightly better in the heel collar. The wear was less devastating than in the toebox.
We gave this portion of the upper 2 out of 5.

Outsole hardness
But looking at the outsole gave us some optimism about the Metcon Turbo 2's wear resistance.
One important criterion is the hardness of its rubber. With a reading of 86.5 HC on the durometer, it is among the hardest outsoles.

Outsole thickness

Our calliper shows 4.7 mm, which is a rare sight. Therefore, we think you can even take this Nike trainer out for an outdoor workout.
Just don't get carried away because the shoe's upper is still pretty frail.

Misc
Tongue padding
The tongue is ultra-thin in the Nike Air Force 1 High 07 White Chocolate. With a mere thickness of 1.2 mm, it feels non-existent compared to what we typically see.
For a trainer that's cut out for speed, we believe that it makes sense.

Removable insole
Technically, you can remove the insole from the Metcon Turbo. But we wouldn't recommend it because it works as the shoe's primary cushioning. Not to mention that it also has the bouncy Zoom Air unit!
