I was a huge Metcon fan (from 4 to 7) and then I watched your 1st review on the DT 2 (few months ago)... I switched to the DT 2... And clearly have done the correct choice...lighter, room for toes and stable. I use it for general training, crossfit and weight lifting
I invested in the Dropset 2 yesterday! Thanks for the recommendation, this video make me more calm (Metcon 9 was the other option) 😀 Great content. 💪🏻🇭🇺
Great review! I just bought the Metcon 9, along with a pair of UA Project Rock 6. I got both strictly for CrossFit. I've eliminated running from my fitness regimen, so that this type of shoe is not ideal for it, is fine with me. I haven't actually tested my Metcon 9s yet.
Thank you so much for your suggestion and advise, I was really confused about which one would be better for me. Now I feel more clearly on this topic 💪🏼
I have a lot of comparisons coming actually! Think they help a ton with the buying process. I also have Born Primitive Vs RAD ONE and multiple others. If you have others you’d like to see, always lmk!
Been watching some of your reviews for quite a while to help me decide which training shoes to purchase and finally got my Dropset 2 for 2 weeks now! Doing strength and interval training with these for an hour and a half, 4x a week, and I am more than satisfied. Plus, I got it for $65! Definitely a bang for the buck.
@@thatfitfriend I got around to testing the Dropset 2 today and i have to say that the stability in them is out of this world. I do a lot of squats, in a million different variations, with and without weights and there was such an improvement to the balance that I felt during exercise. Felt my feet perfectly planted on the floor with amazing support thanks to the firm section of the shoe. Thanks for the great video review! So far they seem the perfect purchase for my gym needs.
Hey Jake! Great vid. How does the ‘felt’ traction compare in these? I’m pretty decided on the Dropset, my only reservation is the traction looks lesser. The entire reason I’m upgrading shows is for traction and flexibility on platforms and pressing sleds.
Currently on the hunt for a great shoe with weightlifting bias, I was going to get the Metcons but I might just get DT2s 2s thanks to your recommendation! Super thankful for your in depth reviews!
Hola buenas. Quisiera saber los talles. Hace rato no uso adidas y me encanto las adidas dropset 2. Soy talle usa 10,5 que seria 28,5cm en Nike, que talle seria en Adidas.?? Que usa .? Me podes ayudar por favor gracias. Espero su respuesta
I currently own UA Tribase Reign 4 they are great for my lifting sessions. However, I'm looking to incorporate some sprint intervals into my workout, likely after the lifting. Would the Dropset 2 be a better choice for such a workout (lifting and sprinting on treadmill) compared to the Tribase Reign 4?
Hi, Jake, imo thinking to give metcon 9 a try. What would you recommend, My workout mostly is strength, core. I,m casual runner and cyclist. Thinking which Nike trainer shoes suit me. Would like to hear from your advice. Tq
I wacthed alot of your review with these two.And finally just bought dropset2 today ,How long can I use one shoe for just lifting? Can it last for 2 years ? This is the most expensive shoe for me lol. (And my both feet are the same size but it's kinda hurt at the pinky toe at the right side,try figuring it out)
Yeah,I bought it at the shop and walking around there for 2 hrs and feel uncomfortable.Actually it might because of my right foot's pinky structure.It's fine in the gym,not much walking there.might use it for training only. And is there different between shoe for men,women, and unisex? They gave me the unisex one.I might have to try the men one next time,that might be more comfortable. (I got the color black with grey camouflage, it's very cool😂.btw I'm 26.3 cm H,10.7 cm W.bought 9us unisex)
Can you do a video on something good for sayy, Orangetheory? They just added strength classes that don't incorporate any running. I prefer these since I started at OTF because my girl didn't want to do Crssft with me but now I'm loving OTF. I still enjoy taking regular (half weight/ half tread) classes often. I need a shoe that's perfect for both! I think a lot of us do actually. SAVE US!
It sounds like the adidas would be great for stability (not forcing or allowing medial or lateral tipping) and comfortablity for a slow pace walking shoe. Correct? Note: I am female, over 50, and approx. 390 lbs. I have best pain free with low drop (eg. Nike free 7) but looking for a more shock absorbing shoe. You seem to have great insight and I would appreciate your help. Thanks! :)
Dropset are terrible if you live in a rainy area or plan to wear them outside. Water comes in through the bottom vent holes while walking out to your car. Super gross feeling. I otherwise loved them, but don't want to have to bring another pair of shoes with me.

Sick! Let me know how you like them
i was gifted dropset 1 by my sister and i love them
9:26, most important part!
More Maui collabs incoming 🤝
Was waiting for this one
Maui so helpful with filming - what a great little guy
Haha, I'll feature him more!
Adidas siempre será el papá de nike.
Thanks for the great review! Just bought the Dropset 2. Hope I got the sizing right 😅
Keep me posted! If anything you can always return then you'll know your best sizing moving forward.

dropset 2 easily my favorite trainer of all time
Ayy stoked you’re enjoying them!
Great timing! Bought the Dropset 2 and got a discount of 50 percent. Lucky me :))
Ayyyy good stuff!
Hey! I’m a beginner and looking forward to buying the best pair of shoes so can you please simply recommend me the best one, please.
Thank you
I have both the original and the the second generation. They are night and day.
2nd is better, eh?
@@thatfitfriend the original droplets were great idea but the heel was curved.
Great review as always! Quick q... do you take the same size in both?
Yep! Same size. Thank you!
Im gonna get the adidas, thank u
I just realized that Metcon 9 look like it took cue designs from the Nike MC Trainer
I’d agree, Ive always felt like it looks way more budget, too

¡Iría del mismo tamaño en estos que tú haces con tus otros zapatos!

Would the Dropset 2 be a better choice for such a workout (lifting and sprinting on treadmill) compared to the Tribase Reign 4?
I think so, tbh! The toe box is a little more lively and pliable in the Dropset 2s and I've enjoyed them for my sprint workouts.
I just ordered a pair of the Dropset 2 today. Can't wait to try them for my deadlift. 😂
little furry friend in the thumbnail. love that
Hi, Jake, imo thinking to give metcon 9 a try. What would you recommend, My workout mostly is strength, core. I,m casual runner and cyclist. Thinking which Nike trainer shoes suit me. Would like to hear from your advice. Tq
Metcon 9s aren't great for running. If you're not going super heavy (over 315 lbs) then I'd also consider the Nike Free Metcon 5!
I am using peg 40 wide for running , and love the fit for my wide feet . Do you suggest metcon 9 or dropset for same fit of toe box? thank you
Both should work, imo! I'd go with colorways and price that you like the best
I wacthed alot of your review with these two.And finally just bought dropset2 today ,How long can I use one shoe for just lifting? Can it last for 2 years ? This is the most expensive shoe for me lol.
(And my both feet are the same size but it's kinda hurt at the pinky toe at the right side,try figuring it out)
Should last a while if you take good care of them!
As in the shoe is causing some discomfort?
Yeah,I bought it at the shop and walking around there for 2 hrs and feel uncomfortable.Actually it might because of my right foot's pinky structure.It's fine in the gym,not much walking there.might use it for training only.

(I got the color black with grey camouflage, it's very cool😂.btw I'm 26.3 cm H,10.7 cm W.bought 9us unisex)
I like the dropset 1s but the laces would always unravel. Has it been improved with the 2?
Yeah, much better on the 2s imo
DROPSET 2 all the way

Both of these could work in that context. The Adidas will be a little more comfortable for walking, though! Thank you!
@@thatfitfriend Thank you!!
what shoe does Maui dig? i feel like he's going with the DS Trainer 2
Potato chooses Adidas
The Nike Metcon 9 looks like someone attempted a repair with duct tape
LOL, like my old Emerica skate shoes. IYKYK
Can water get into the DT shoe ? For example small puddles while walking to the gym ?
Yep!
I think you should use different shoes inside the gym...
@@jordiCupa feel this, but not everyone can do that so you gotta remember circumstances can vary a bunch!
Project rock 6 Vs adidas drop set trainer2 , please
Dropset
so.. its not even close... is there a shoe that comes even close to the dropsets? do THAT comparison next
👀👀 I have a few more in the pipeline
@@thatfitfriend i better subscribe then haha
@@juangherardi6664 !!!! Let’s gooo
I’ve worn every CrossFit show imaginable and have owned every metcon iteration. Metcon 8 and 9 are the best on the market
That is a unique take! Stoked you’ve been enjoying them
For squats?
Dropset!
Dropset are terrible if you live in a rainy area or plan to wear them outside. Water comes in through the bottom vent holes while walking out to your car. Super gross feeling. I otherwise loved them, but don't want to have to bring another pair of shoes with me.
Also, I'll be doing cardio CrossFit and weight training so please recommend accordingly
I'd go Dropset 2 or TriBase Reign 6 or Nano X4. Can't go wrong with any of those, imo!
I wanted to buy the dropsets but they look ugly to me :/
Some colorways look better than the white.
I wouldn't be caught drop-dead with Adidas DropSet Trainers.
This made me LOL. The sassss, I love it 😂
@9:26 wow a shoe dog
