good looking out. thanks.

 

[auright]

are those china ones out yet?

 

[dmxgod]

Might scoop up those Chicago lunarglides..such a comfortable shoe

 

[gswarriorz]

I keep sleepin on these, maybe next F&F. They more/less comfortable than the AM2009s?

 

[brotipoo]

The CHINA/Beijing LunarGlide+ will be available closer to the Beijing marathon which is Nov 29 and the HAWAII/Honolulu LunarGlide+ will follow, releasingaround Dec 13.

For MAXIMUM comfort, go with the AM2009, but for overall short distance races/training LunarGlide+ is the shoe for it.
Saying that, if you are an avid runner, I wouldn't switch to them from your old faithful.
If you've been running in the Nike Structure Triax or the Nike Vomero and those works for you, stick to those.

[trahe]

I like those

 

[dr damon]

Really loving the motion control in this shoe; a wide range of runners can enjoy them, from the lightweight/performance category, cushioned, and moderateoverpronators. The support is good enough for my feet while providing enough cushioning as well.

 

[untouchable jc]

I NEED A PAIR OF THESE!!!

 

[jjgrt5]

These shoes are

I ran the whole cross country season in a pair of these

(amateur move, I know)

 

[ap27]

Does anyone know if these bottom out?

Or has anyone owned these for a while, and noticed the cushioning start to deteriorate?

I had a terrible experience with Hyperdunks, and I'm wondering how these will hold up long term, thanks

 

[crazy ebw]

I haven't heard any complaints about the cushioning failing over time. Seems like the only shoe that had that issue by the masses was the Hyperdunk. Istill have faith in LF.

 

[dr damon]

ive put some miles on my lunaracers and they are still good, but hey, i usually run in free 5.0s so i am used to no cushioning. i passed on the hyperdunks. ihaven't ran in my lunarglides yet, probably wont until i get another colorway. those green ones are sick. will probably cop those and run in them.

 

[sole investigator]

The Lunarglides don't have Lunar Foam in them... they have Cushlon Foam and won't produce a steep drop off in cushioning that people experienced withthe Hyperdunk.

 

[kicksaholic86]

Does anyone have any comparisons between the LunarGlides and the LunarSwifts?

 

[dr damon]

i have both. i have yet to run in either. still running in my frees. the lunar glides are more flexible than the swifts. the cushion in the lunarglides feels a little softer.

 

[illustrayt]

Recently, it seems as if the Lunar Foam in my Lunar Trainer 1s has greatly depleted, which is inevitable for a 2+ year old shoe that had serious mileage. The other day, I actually developed a significant water blister on my big right toe while I was running 12M.

Now, I'm in the market for a new pair of runners, and I think these LGlides are the shoe that might be next in line. I actually saw and tried on a pair at a local Nordstom Rack (Women's Charcoal / Ice Blue cw) , which were only $50. I'm thinking about going back and purchasing them. The color on the midsole is screaming to be customized! Has anyone ever customized performance running shoes with spray-paint? If so, how well does the paint hold after several miles?

 

[caonimalegeb]

really love them must cop

 

[bighead2205]

For everyday use, these might be the most comfortable shoes ever.
