About Nike Lunar

As we’ve mentioned previously, Nike is all about their Lunar Technology going forward so much so that the bulk of their new running specialty product offerings from Fall ’10 (late Summer introductions) are Lunar based. The former Bowerman line, generally considered more traditional running footwear, is whittled down to color updates on the four primary models within the Bowerman line, the Vomero+5, the Equalon+4, the Structure Triax+ 13 and the Air Pegasus+ 27. The rest of the shoes earmarked for the running specialty industry are Lunar.

Nike Lunar technology, aimed at making a shoe that’s super-lightweight and flexible. This model also infuses the visible Max air unit, a process which melds together the old and new in a model that has a definite heritage feel. The upper is contructed of a runner’s favorite–breathable mesh. The contrasting hits of blue suede on the toe and heel and lining. The gold swoosh adds the 1985 feel of the original release of the Vortex, which is re-interpreted through Nike’s modernization of their classic runners. Nike has been digging in the vaults for old school runners to re-imagine, and this sneaker is a great example of an update on a classic.
