Nike Womens LunarGlide+ – Detailed Pics

Nike Womens LunarGlide+

The Nike LunarGlide+ is the first running shoe to deliver both top-tier cushioning and as-needed support with the new Dynamic Support system. The Dynamic Support system in the Nike LunarGlide+ midsole is comprised of a lightweight LunarLite foam core that sits within a firmer foam carriage. The LunarLite foam core is cut to fit into the carriage at an angle creating a deeper cushioned lateral side. The medial side of the Nike LunarGlide+ midsole features a rear-foot wedge that has been contoured into the firmer foam carriage which provides stability on an as-needed basis. The Dynamic Support system delivers great cushioning for neutral runners, as well as the necessary support for runners that overpronate.

This makes the LunarGlide+ appropriate for a remarkably wide range of runners. Nike designed Flywire technology into the upper to provide the necessary support with a dramatic reduction in weight versus a conventional, overlay-based upper construction. The LunarGlide+ provides the cushioning, support and durability necessary for daily distance training in a lightweight, 10.6 oz package. More info after the jump…

Upper

-Nike Flywire technology boosts support and lockdown around the midfoot, while reducing weight.
-A high-resilience foam sockliner with men’s-specific geometry provides exceptional step-in feel and added support.
-Reflective elements add peace of mind in low-light conditions.
