Nike LunaRacer Running Shoes - Grey/Black/Volt
Get This! One of our best ever racers but only available in a limited size run - hence the price!
Only 5.2 oz (150g) makes this an entirely new running experience that combines plush cushioning with perceptibly springy response, inherent stability and racing flat like weight. The lunar lite mid sole platform delivers an astonishingly smooth ride and the innovative FlyFit upper pulls targeted support around the foot. For Go-Fast runners with under-pronated to midly overpronated gaits looking for that ''almost nothing there'' experience.
Technologies:
Flywire: Flywire helps provide ultra-lightweight comfort and support for your foot. It gets its strength from strategically placed thin Nylon fibres on the upper of the running shoe to hold the foot in place, thus helping to reduce slippage during activity.
This allows for a massive reduction in weight as material is there only where it’s required for structure.
LunarLite FoamThe Nike LunaRacer contains a revolutionary midsole cushioning system, made up of soft and spongy LunarLite foam which aims to return a pillow-like experience for the runner.
While most soft foams are not able to offer any resilient bounce-back after footstrike, LunarLite foam, developed by the aerospace industry and adapted by Nike for running, has been developed not only to reduce weight, but also provide a responsive feel closer to Zoom Air.
Nike’s lightest weight and most responsive cushioning material to date, Lunarlite foam is 30% lighter than Nike Phylon, Nike's next lightest performance foam and works to distribute force across the foot. With each footfall, pressure is dispersed - protecting the foot from injury as well as fatigue and pain - a massive benefit in a shoe meant for mileage.
Light weight and flexibiility are still at a premium as the LunaRacer has a rubber Waffle outsole for increased durability.
