NIKE LUNARLON COLLECTION DELIVERS REVOLUTIONARY CUSHIONING SYSTEM

Dedicated to developing the most innovative athletic products in the world, Nike unveils the Nike Lunarlon Collection: a performance-enhancing range of men’s and women’s training, running and basketball shoes. The creative process began with a collaboration between the Nike design team and the Nike Sports Research Lab (NSRL) conducting pressure platform tests on runners, the team isolated key impact points on the foot.

Additional design inspiration came from observing astronauts walking on the moon. This weightlessness is exactly what Nike strove to capture with its revolutionary cushioning system.

Introduced four years ago, the resulting Nike Lunarlon foam technology achieves this aim by spreading force out more evenly across the foot, providing ultra-lightweight and springy cushioning that helps protect the foot while improving stability and comfort for an enhanced running and workout experience.

30% lighter than standard phylon foam, Lunarlon cushioning is featured across the Nike Lunarlon Collection, featuring sport specific shoes with more Nike Lunarlon foam than ever for a more comfortable and adaptive fit.

Nike’s dynamic flywire provides adaptive support that loosens and tightens with the natural motion of the foot, providing a glove like fit depending on your sports activity.

The Nike Lunarlon Collection includes: the Nike Lunarglide +4, Nike Hyperdunk, Nike LunarTR1 and Nike Lunar HyperWorkout+.

Nike Lunarglide+4
Ultra lightweight and responsive, the Nike Lunarglide+4 is 18% lighter than the Nike Lunarglide+3 at 10oz and helps to maximize performance thanks to soft, springy Lunarlon cushioning and dynamic flywire.

Nike Hyperdunk
Designed to meet the containment, protection and responsive needs of elite players the Nike Hyperdunk (11.9 oz) features basketball-specific Lunarlon cushioning and dynamic Flywire for hard cuts and turns. Learn more about the Nike Hyperdunk.

Nike LunarTR1
Superior cushioning, ultra lightweight (10% lighter than the TR1.3 at 11.4oz) and breathable make the Nike LunarTR1 more versatile for training across multiple sports. Flywire provides dynamic support for multidirectional movement whatever your workout.

Nike Lunar HyperWorkout+
Nike Lunar Hyperworkout+ features a training specific midsole combining Lunarlon cushioning with dynamic Flywire for responsive support during training. Ultra lightweight, the shoe is just 6oz, 16% lighter than the Nike Lunar Allways TR.

COMPLEX mag: 50 Hottest Female Sneaker Photo Shoots

Complex magazine released the a feature called: 50 Hottest Female Sneaker Photo Shoots that features plenty of sexy ladies and awesome sneakers. I don't know whether they have too much time on their hands or what, but if I was them, I would've hired a photographer, get 50 different pair of sneakers and have 50 different babes in a hot & steamy studio and let them get creative, but that's just me.  


Here are some of the better ones according to yours truly:

Nike Lunar Flow Woven QS

This could be a really hot idea or it could be another failure. The Nike Lunar Flow is a nice shoe, that's it. Not dope, not must have. But Nike Sportswear decided to release them as a QUICKSTRIKE, so that in itself will probably gain some buyers, then they add WOVEN upper on the front, another PLUS for buyers/hypebeast and they present them in bright colors. So Woven, bright colors and QUICKSTRIKE equals MUST HAVE!!! In years back, these will probably sit but these days when everyone and their momma seems to be rockin' and collecting sneakers, they probably won't be sitting long, but then again, they aren't your Jordan Retros, so they might just hit the factory doors. 

Nike SB P Rod X Bruce Lee T-Shirts

We posted this sometimes last summer thinking that it would drop by the fall or winter, but the official release for these are spring 2012. So now that pics of these have resurfaced, it probably will drop at your local skate shops or Nike SB retailers by end of this month or early March.
