Athletes, get your wallets ready: Reebok just announced the latest iteration of its highly popular Nano shoe series, the X2.

Already the most versatile workout shoe on the market, the series offers an upgraded outer heel that adds stability and slims down the profile. The re-engineered FlexWeave knit upper provides better protection from rope climbs and blowouts. Plus, it offers better breathability than previous entries. Reebok’s Floatride Energy foam provides cushioning during runs and box jumps without sacrificing response during explosive lifts.
