The Superrep 3 is a revamp of earlier variations of the favored HIIT coaching shoe from Nike.
This slimmed down, lighter weight replace offers the wearer much less bulk underfoot while remaining cushioned. The Superrep vary is among the most attention-grabbing and have packed sneakers in the marketplace on your health club coaching classes, and likewise very totally different to most sneakers on the market at present.
Whereas a lot of the coaching shoe evaluations and movies we do listed below are based mostly on sneakers for weightlifting, normal energy work, and metabolic conditioning to help your working coaching, the Superrep 3s are designed to your health lessons within the health club.
Assume any exercise that’s full of burpees, field jumps, kettlebell swings, push ups, mountain climbers and body weight squats. And their USP is that they’re one of many one sneakers on the market designed solely for this.
When you’ve got learn my earlier assessment on the primary Nike Superrep, you’ll discover I cherished the shoe for normal health club lessons, their look, and know-how, however they fell brief when working or weightlifting they usually had been slim and rubbed to start with.
The second model noticed only a few modifications in design, however this third model has had fairly the overhaul. Decreased foam underfoot (while nonetheless being MUCH greater than different coaching sneakers) has elevated stability and help for multidirectional strikes.
The Superrep 3 additionally has added reinforcements alongside the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, which means the foot has additional help from this bracing alongside the edges when making quick directional modifications. Straight beneath this large arc, two Air Zoom pockets give snug toe landings in a high-energy exercise, and provides an excellent springy feeling when leaping round.

It’s unimaginable to not discover instantly how plush and bouncy these sneakers really feel once you first put them on, they’re instantly snug, with no rubbing or squeakiness like I discovered with the primary model I examined.
The second factor I seen was how a lot taller I felt in these, they need to add two inches to my top. The bolstered lateral sides make the foot really feel safe and locked in effectively, with none uncomfortable spots, and the match was true to measurement.
Nike Air Zoom SuperRep 3 Sole Unit

The only unit is essentially the most attention-grabbing a part of this coaching shoe so ranging from the underside up, the outsole is a skinny rubber, caught to a plastic plate connecting the back and front a part of the shoe.
Grip isn’t nice on this shoe, particularly on out of doors surfaces, and is already exhibiting some indicators of damage. This could maintain up effectively sufficient in a health club setting over time, however one thing to contemplate if you need a extra all spherical shoe to put on for plenty of totally different actions.
Additionally an outside drawback I encountered was stones and normal bits off the ground getting caught within the hole between the plate and midsole. There’s additionally a spot in between the 2 Air Zoom pockets which might be a nightmare to attempt to get any caught grime out of (fortunately not but occurred to me).

The outsole options flexgrooves, nevertheless the one one that really flexes is the entrance groove beneath the toe field. The remainder of the shoe could be very inflexible to help the arch of the foot.
Lastly, the outsole can also be a lot wider that the heel of the foot, giving the only real a melted impact, which is rising the contact the foot has with the bottom to present slightly extra stability.
The Air Zoom pockets within the forefoot midsole carry out effectively when doing explosive actions similar to squat jumps and burpees, and midsole foam underneath the heel cushions landings effectively.
I do nonetheless assume there may be an enchancment that may be made to cut back this foam even additional, and nonetheless ship the identical cushioning and spring, but slightly extra stability and total confidence when sporting them.

The higher is a breathable mesh- a lot so you possibly can see proper by means of in some areas on the white model I’ve- far more breathable and ethereal than beforehand.
The tongue is gentle and skinny and stays put when figuring out.
The rubber overlays across the heel cup make the shoe simple to placed on and take off- total a improbable design. It appears Nike has taken on board suggestions and actually superior this shoe with some nice enhancements and design options on the higher.
Nike Air Zoom SuperRep 3 Conclusion

To conclude, I actually loved sporting this shoe for HIIT exercises. It performs effectively, was snug and appears nice.
Because of the large quantity of froth underneath the foot, I wouldn’t suggest these sneakers for heavy weightlifting. There’s an excessive amount of distance between the foot and the bottom to create instability, and threat rolling an ankle when lifting weights.
For lighter weights although, and physique weight actions they’re nice. Appears to be like clever, I feel the advance right here has been huge, and I really like the look and design of all of the colorways of the Superrep 3.
It’s a particular shoe, for one perform and that’s high-intensity coaching, indoors. For one thing like a Barry’s Bootcamp exercise, this shoe is ideal.
