It’s official! LUXIAOJUN is your official CrossFit Games lifting shoe for 2025!
From the CrossFit Games website:
CrossFit is proud to announce that LUXIAOJUN has been named the Official Weightlifting Shoe of the 2025 CrossFit Games.
LUXIAOJUN is founded and named for three-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time world champion Lu Xiaojun – one of the most dominant weightlifters in history. Known for his explosive power and precise technique and discipline, Lu became the first Asian weightlifter to win three consecutive Olympic golds. His signature warm-up move – “Lu’s Raise,” a dynamic high-pull used to prime the body for peak performance—has become a global symbol of strength and preparation. In 2019, Lu transformed his decades of elite training into LUXIAOJUN, a performance footwear brand designed to support lifters at every level.
LUXIAOJUN caught the attention of CrossFit and the broader fitness community when six-time Fittest Woman on Earth, Tia-Clair Toomey, wore LUXIAOJUN shoes during Event 6 at the 2024 CrossFit Games. Since weightlifting is a key component of the CrossFit methodology — and always an element of the CrossFit Games — it made sense to bring LUXIAOJUN’s best-in-class weightlifting shoe design to elite CrossFit athletes. Products like LUXIAOJUN are essential for any CrossFit athlete aiming to perform their best during Olympic lifts, heavy squats, and workouts like Heavy Isabel, currently featured in CrossFit Semifinals events worldwide.
“We are excited to partner with a legend like Lu Xiaojun and bring his expertise to the CrossFit community,” said Greg Schwartz, Vice President of Global Partnerships at CrossFit. “Weightlifting is a cornerstone of CrossFit training and competition, and having the right footwear can make all the difference in athlete performance. This collaboration represents our commitment to giving athletes the best tools to succeed.”
