Nike Boxing Shoes

Nike boxing shoes across three generations of the HyperKO, the Machomai family and the crossover Tawa. Every model is a high-top, narrow-last boxing shoe built for fast pivots — what changes between them is how they trade structure against weight.

Which Nike boxing shoe should you choose?

Nike HyperKO 1

The most structured HyperKO, with Flywire cables through the midfoot and a strap locking the forefoot over the laces. No longer in production, so availability depends on existing stock.

• Black/Red
• Black/Gold
• Black/Metallic Silver
• White/Metallic Gold
• White/Royal Blue
• White/Red
• Red/White
• Red/Blue
• Volt Yellow

Nike HyperKO 2

A Flyknit upper and integrated cuff replace the strap, giving a closer fit with more natural movement.

• Black/White
• White/Black
• Royal Blue
• White/Bright Crimson

Nike HyperKO 3

Nike's lightest boxing shoe at 10.2oz, with a lace garage and ankle lace-holder that stop laces slipping mid-round.

• Blue/Red
• Blue/Volt
• HyperKO 3 SE Black/Grey

Nike Machomai

Nike's minimal lightweight line. The Machomai 2 has been discontinued and replaced by the Machomai 3, which adds an upgraded mesh upper and redesigned eyelets.

• Machomai 3 White/Gold
• Machomai SE Blue/White
• Machomai 2 Red/Black
• Machomai 2 White/Silver
• Original Machomai White/Gold

Nike Tawa

A crossover combat shoe for athletes who box and wrestle. Tawa Bright Crimson/Black.

Sizing

Nike's combat-sports line is built on a narrower last than its everyday trainers and runs about half a size short of the marked size. Order half a size up from your normal shoe size, and a full size up if your feet are wide or you train in thick socks. Sizes run US/CA 6–12, UK/AU 5–11 and EU 38.5–45.

FAQ

Should I order my normal size in Nike boxing shoes?
No. Order half a size up, because the line runs narrow and slightly short. Go a full size up for wide feet.

What's the difference between the HyperKO 2 and HyperKO 3?
The HyperKO 3 is lighter at 10.2oz, with a Super Critical Foam footbed and lace garage. The HyperKO 2 uses a Flyknit upper and integrated cuff for a closer, sock-like fit.

Is the HyperKO 1 still made?
No. Nike's current lead boxing shoe is the HyperKO 3, so HyperKO 1 stock is limited to what remains.

Is the Machomai 2 still available new?
Only while existing stock lasts. The Machomai 3 replaced it with an upgraded mesh upper and redesigned eyelets.

Which Nike boxing shoe is the lightest?
Among the HyperKOs, the HyperKO 3 at 10.2oz. The Machomai line is also built around minimal weight.
