Nike launches new LunarGlide+
20/04/2009
"Runners traditionally had to choose between stability or cushioning shoes based on their style," said Leslie Lane, global vice president and general manager for Nike Running. "Now, consumers can choose a single running shoe that will respond to all of their needs, even adjusting on the fly during a run."
The Dynamic Support system is designed with a lightweight LunarLite foam core that sits within a firmer foam carriage and features a rear-foot wedge, providing stability when it is needed.
The shoe also has soft, strong microfibre synthetic overlays ultrasonically welded into place for seam-free comfort. A high-resilience men's- and women's-specific foam sockliner also creates a footbed with added support.
The shoe also incorporates Flywire technology, a performance architecture that uses thin and very strong nylon fibres. The men's LunarGlide+ weigs just 10.6 ounces, while the women's version weighs a mere 8.6 ounces.
