Nike Machomai 3 Boxing Boots – Review and Breakdown
Machomai 3 Overview
The Nike Machomai 3 Boxing Boots are the latest evolution of Nike’s original boxing shoe line—first made famous by Manny Pacquiao back in 2008. While the core design has stayed consistent over the years, the Machomai 3 introduces a refreshed upper that brings added performance and style while keeping that lightweight, responsive feel boxers love. Whether you've worn previous Machomai models or you're looking to try something new, these boots are a knockout choice.
What’s New?
The first thing you'll notice about the Machomai 3 is the updated Nike Swoosh—bigger, bolder, and more eye-catching than ever. This new design gives the boots a dynamic and modern edge that stands out in the ring.
Nike has also upgraded the mesh upper, adding more structure and support without sacrificing breathability. This means better foot stability whether you're training or competing. The laces have changed too—from the flat style of earlier versions to oval-shaped laces, similar to those found on the popular Nike HyperKO 2.
Inside the boot, there’s a reinforced heel to help keep your foot securely locked in place, reducing slippage and improving overall control—especially important when you're up on your toes and moving fast.
Retaining That Classic Machomai Feel
Despite the upgrades, Nike has stayed true to what made the original Machomai a hit. These boots remain super lightweight, even with the slightly taller profile of the Machomai 3. Any weight increase is minimal—just a few grams, about the same as a roll of hand tape.
You’ll also get the same trusted sole from the original Machomai, providing excellent grip and traction for pivoting, movement, and agility in the ring. The breathable mesh keeps your feet cool during intense training or fight nights, making them ideal for all levels of boxing.
Colour Options
Nike has nailed the colourways this time around. Whether you’re matching your fight kit or looking to stand out, there’s something for everyone:
- Classic red or blue
- Sleek black or white
- Stylish white/gold combo
- Paris Olympics Special Edition – a bold mix of grey, orange, black, and animal print that really turns heads.
Each version looks sharp and professional. Whatever your style, you'll find a colourway that suits you perfectly.
Price & Value
One of the best things about the Nike Machomai range is the price. At just £109.99 (inc VAT)—or £119.99 (inc VAT) for the Olympic Special Edition—these boots offer incredible value. You’re getting Nike quality, performance, and style without breaking the bank.
At the time of writing, the Machomai 3 is still a very recent release, but expect to see top-level fighters training and competing in them very soon.
Size Guide
The Machomai 3 runs true to size for most people. If you tend to wear thicker socks, consider going half a size up. Personally, I wear a UK 9 in most trainers, and the UK 9 Machomai 3 fits me perfectly—but I could also wear a 9.5 comfortably. It really depends on how snug you like your boots.
Final Thoughts
If you’re in the market for a new pair of boxing boots, the Nike Machomai 3 should be high on your list. They're lightweight, supportive, stylish, and built for performance. Whether you're stepping into the gym or the ring, these boots deliver.
