Nike latest grand design… the Olympic Nike Lunar shoes

　　Well we all know that every year Nike likes to come up with something fresh and new and, unsurprisingly, this year it’s all centered around the Olympics. Their latest grand design is the Lunar shoes. With their distictive designs this is a shoe you will be seeing a lot of on the TV during the olympics - especially when it comes to the athletics.

Nike lunar trainer

• 　　Introduces the Lunar lite foam - mega springy and lightweight
• 　　Has an anatomical last - based on nike free technology
• 　　Has pillow waffle outsole - lighweight with cushioning value

WHAT WE THINK…
The hype is good - it always is with Nike. This shoe is ‘out there’ - the colours are bold and the outsole has a futuristic shape - but it works. The fit is fantastic, the feel plush and it is very light. Time will tell if stands up to serious road training but so far it feels fantastic.

Nike lunaracer

• 　　Nikes lightest shoe other than the Mayfly (which is limited to 100K)
• 　　Flywire upper adds structure without weight
• 　　Pillow waffles - add cushioning without weight

WHAT WE THINK…
Nike promise ‘a super lightweight experience that makes me wanna run’ - well that is a little over the top from our amigos in the US of A - but the truth is that there’s some excellent technological thought gone into this shoe… and ultimately the scales don’t lie - it’s progressive and incredibly light (oh and it looks the business too doesn’t it?!)
