Reebok Nano
Reebok became the official provider of licensed CrossFit footwear and apparel in 2011. That year, Reebok released the first Reebok Nano. The shoe was designed to be used for high impact movements, weightlifting and short-distance running. The shoe's design includes a spacious toe box.
Reebok Nano 2.0
The following year the Nano 2.0 was released. Men's Fitness included the shoe on its list of "Workout Gear for CrossFit: 15 New Products to Improve Your Daily Workout." The shoe has a wider toe box than the first generation to allow an athlete's foot to splay more naturally and maximize stability.
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. The Nano 3.0 also introduced the DuraCage construction for additional protection and lightweight support.
Nano 4.0
The fourth generation of the shoe was introduced during the 2014 CrossFit Games. The front of the shoe has a duracage protection layer and enhanced toe-wrap for durability. It also features a rigid sole that provides more grip and stability than the previous Nano models.
Nano 5.0
The fifth generation of the shoe. This generation of the shoe is wrapped in Kevlar.
