The Nike Metcon 2, which was created for functional fitness purposes, originated from the original prototype that was initially worn by renowned CrossFit athlete, Josh Bridges. This iteration, launched in September 2016 with a stylish 'Haystack' color scheme, maintains the same durability and Flywire technology in its upper as its predecessor while incorporating a new heel clip for improved performance. To complete the adaptable design, a camouflaged tonal Swoosh adorns the midfoot area.
