TYR began as a swimsuit brand but it has been getting increasingly involved in CrossFit, having recently added Patrick Vellner, Annie Thorisdottir and Noah Ohlsen to its roster of athletes.
Despite the backing of those big names, I was unsure about TYR’s first training shoe, the TYR CXT-1. The white-and-gum colorway made it look too much like a tennis shoe, and I couldn’t imagine it would coax me away from my collection of Nanos, NoBulls and Nike Metcons.
