Reebok became the official provider of licensed CrossFit footwear and apparel in 2011.[1] During that year, Reebok released the first Reebok Nano. The shoe was designed to be used for high impact movements, weightlifting and short-distance running.[3] The shoe's design includes a spacious toe box.[4]
Reebok Nano 2.0[]
In the following year, the Nano 2.0 was released.[5] Men's Fitness included the shoe on its list of "Workout Gear for CrossFit: 15 New Products to Improve Your Daily Workout."[6] The shoe has a wider toe box than the first generation to allow an athlete's foot to splay more naturally and maximize stability.
Reebok Nano 3.0[]
The Nano 3.0 was introduced in 2013. The shoe provides forefoot cushioning and heel stabilization with its dual density platform. The shoe has a protective layer in its midsole to prevent fraying caused by rope climbs and features a wide toe box and midsole to provide stability during lifts.[7] The Nano 3.0 also introduced the DuraCage construction for additional protection and lightweight support.
Reebok Nano 4.0[]
The fourth generation of the shoe was introduced during the 2014 CrossFit Games.[8] The front of the shoe has a duracage protection layer and enhanced toe-wrap for durability.[9] It also features a rigid sole that provides more grip and stability than the previous Nano models.[9]
