SPRINGY BOKS

Reebok Nano X1 Grit, £110, reebok.co.uk

Performance Design Value

HOT GRIT Built for nailing demanding drills and outdoor sessions, the Grit comes with a tougher woven upper than the regular Nano X1 and deeper lugs to boost traction. It has the highest drop on test and a sizeable wedge of springy Floatride Energy EVA midsole foam underfoot. A TPU frame wraps the heel for security.

EXPERT VERDICT The Grit is as tough as it sounds, but it was the 7mm drop and stack of punchy foam that stood out. The elevated heel makes it feel more like a traditional lifting shoe, while the raised stack takes strain off your heels and calves when jumping or running.
