NEW INOV8 FITNESS SHOE HONORS SPORTING LEGEND PANCHIK

23/05/25

INOV8 have teamed up with 10 x CrossFit Games legend Scott Panchik on an exciting new footwear collaboration that unites two originals of the sport.

Panchik is one of the most widely respected athletes in the fitness world having competed at the sport’s biggest event 10 times since 2012.

INOV8 go back even further in functional fitness, staking a claim to be the “OG shoe of the box.”

Training titan Panchik has been working closely with the designers at INOV8 – for whom he’s a long-time sponsored athlete – on a limited-edition shoe in his style.

The trainer is a rework of the sports brand’s hugely popular F-LITE MAX, first released in 2024. It includes custom colors chosen by Panchik and his signature on the toes.

Panchik said: “As the sport has continued to evolve, so has the footwear. It’s been a lot of fun to share feedback from all my years competing and see it come to life.

“The F-LITE MAX is extremely versatile and can be used for weightlifting, climbing ropes and even short distance running. This new unique color combination is inspired by my time wearing white shoes, both playing sports as a kid and competing over the last decade.”

INOV8 says it expects high demand given Panchik’s popularity and legendary status within the fitness community.

Wayne Edy, INOV8 Founder, added: “The F-LITE MAX is an athlete-forged design, inspired by Scott and others for unrivalled natural performance.

“It’s an honor to now have this innovative shoe in a style hand-picked by Scott, a true legend of the fitness world.”
