What are the top CrossFit brands in the world? An obvious place to start with is Nike, one of the most trusted names in athletics shoes and other apparel.

More specifically, they have the Nike Metcon series, which many people swear by at the top CrossFit shoes. It's a cross-trainer that can take a beating: box jumps, wall handstands, lifting, sprinting and more. 

They're also come out with the Nike Free X Metcon line, which is a bit lighter and more flexible. Plus, there's more mesh in the upper, meaning they're more breathable than the Nike Metcon. 

No discussion of the top CrossFit brands would be complete with talking about Reebok. They are the hosts of the CrossFit Games, famous around the world for where the top athletes including Rich Froning compete.

They make a variety of CrossFit shoes, including the Reebok Nano 8, Reebok Grace, CrossFit litter and more.
