Reebok and Puma have quickly followed suit with their ranges aimed at high intensity interval training fans, the Reebok HIIIT TR, and Puma Zone XT. It offers the stability for lifting weights through a chunky, wide sole, but cushioned landings to keep energy levels high in a vigorous class. The unique selling point of the SuperRep is the stand out sole unit offering extra cushioning in high impact, high energy classes. However, these were designed to take on rough and tough workouts and aimed at a different type of gym environment. Most people with a bit of cash to spend on a premium training shoe will turn to a Nike Metcon or Reebok Nano to fit the bill. The SuperRep training shoe has attempted to combine this training shoe ideal, with some of the benefits of a cushioned running shoe, to give the user the best of both worlds. Traditionally, the ideal training shoe is seen as something that’s stable, flat with a little bit of midsole cushioning for a short run. Nike has used it vast experience across practically every sport out there to come up with its attempt at the perfect all rounder.Īimed at people who participate in high intensity interval training (HIIT) classes, these people probably aren’t lifting the heaviest weights in the gym, or running the furthest or fastest in that specific session, so what do they look for and need in a shoe?

The SuperRep is for high impact boutique style fitness classes, which was evident from Nike’s social media marketing of the SuperRep at the beginning of 2020. Nike is the first sports brand to bring out a new category of intense training shoe that isn’t aimed specifically at Crossfit. The SuperRep is a whole new type of training shoe designed especially for high intensity, fast paced exercise.
