After revealing the Nano 9 in late May, Reebok released the shoe to the masses on June 12. At a launch event in New York City, Tal Short, the brand’s senior performance footwear product manager, explained to FN the biggest change made with the Nano 9 from past looks in the franchise.
“We’re realizing that running is a bigger part of CrossFit — that’s the truth — and as the leaders in CrossFit, we need to evolve with it. We can’t [stand] still,” Short said. “A lot of our competitors have the same shoe they had four years ago, and we can’t do that. We’re the leaders; we need to set the bar.”
