The new Nike LunarGlide+ launches 8/1!
Whether you're a runner with a neutral or an overpronated footstrike, the new LunarGlide+ uses a newly engineered Dynamic Support platform to constantlyadapt to your stride to deliver just the right amount of comfort and support. The mid-sole of the Nike LunarGlide+ is comprised of lightweight LunarLite foamthat is held within a firmer foam carriage. The LunarLite foam sits at an angle providing additional cushioning for the outer side of the foot, for a smoothermore comfortable run. The inner side of the mid-sole features a wedge that has been contoured to fit into the firmer foam carriage to provide stability on anas-needed basis. A neutral runner (requires minimal support) will not engage the wedge upon foot strike, but a runner who pronates (foot rotates inwards as itlands), no matter to what degree, will engage the rear foot wedge, to provide stability.
Boasting ultra-light, ultra-strong Flywire and the next generation of LunarLite system technology, the men's LunarGlide+ combines a soft core within a firmer carrier to achieve a previously unattainable blend of cushioning and response from heel to toe.
What's more, everything about the shoe's construction has been streamlined-from the molded external heel for fit and support to the improved Nike Natural Motion Engineering support under the forefoot for the smoothest ride-creating a better running experience for every kind of runner.
Finally, the men's LunarGlide+ also features a patented Dynamic Support system that adapts to you, your foot and even the various parts of your run to provide just the right amount of cushioning and support.
Every runner is unique--that much is clear. But after decades of commiserating with our fellow runners, we've learned that there are a few universal constants: all runners want great comfort and fit, long-lasting cushioning, a smooth ride and an appropriate level of support. But that last point is tricky because we each have such distinct needs when it comes to support. In fact, the level of support a runner requires can change over the course of a run and, in many cases, runners have differing support needs from one foot to the other.
Conventional approaches to support fail to address this variability. Instead, they're black-or-white solutions that either provide no added support under the arch or one, fixed level of support that doesn't change as your needs change. Recognizing the inadequacy of this static approach, we've engineered an entirely new platform called Dynamic Support and we're introducing it in the Nike LunarGlide+.
Dynamic Support enables the Nike LunarGlide+ to provide a level of support appropriate for an extraordinarily wide range of runners, from underpronators all the way through moderate overpronators. Furthermore, the system instantaneously adapts to each and every foot strike, so if you need more support near the end of a long run, you'll get it. It also adapts to the needs of each foot individually, so you'll no longer be forced to compromise the support you need or the cushioning you crave.
In terms of cushioning, the Nike LunarGlide+ is built on the latest implementation of our LunarLite cushioning system for incredibly soft, yet responsive impact protection that holds up for the long haul. What's more, supple, microfiber synthetic overlays are applied only where absolutely necessary and ultrasonically welded in place to eliminate even the possibility of stitch irritation against the foot. Plus, the midsole incorporates our gender-specific Nike Natural Motion Engineering principles for an exceptionally smooth ride. Great comfort and fit, plush cushioning, a smooth ride and Dynamic Support that adapts to each individual runner, each individual run and each individual foot. via Nike.com / Facebook
