    Nike lunarlon was introduced in 2008
    Lunarlon is a dual density foam, phased out by Nike React was introduced in 2017
    Nike Lunar Roam Platinum Tint and Desert Moss $150.00
    Lunar took its legendary bounce to the streets for the first time in 2008. Fifteen years later, the plush foam midsole your feet fell in love with is back-remastered and amplified for the city. Now equipped with breezy textiles and supportive Magwire cables in the upper, it delivers a lightweight, stable feel you'll want to wear season after season. And with an eye-grabbing new colorway, this pair is sure to make a bold, springy statement wherever you roam.
    SKU: DV2440-001
    This I like:
    liner is excellent.
    Upper build is nice, layers look good
    Laces lock in nice
    Great new model with the energy of the older Lunar sneakers.
    Traction wrapped up heel is a plus
    well balanced on feet
    reinforcement on toebox is good
    Retail at $150 is not too bad
    Things I would change:
    Not very breathable
    lunar foam should be encased with ZoomX IMO
    Could be much softer on feet.
    Could be gusseted

    Lunar foam is inside, carrier foam is regular phylon, hence the dual foam setup called lunar-lon

    • @anthonygato407
      @anthonygato407 Před 4 měsíci

      maybe cushlon. the old zoom fly was lunarlon midsole with nylon plate and was incredibly soft. no way was that phylon. I have injection molded phylon on my tiempo 94 Jordan Chicago's and its rough when new. to awhile to wear in.

    I think solid colorways like white, or olive with white midsole will look great with this model.

  • @TheLuka1313
    @TheLuka1313 Před 5 měsíci

    I think these are great. Mix of old, mix of new. Like look like a retro but also contemporary. All those lines are beautiful. I got the first colourway as soon as I saw them.

    this the same lunar foams Cole Han uses in their lunar grand shoes. Nike owned Cole Han and came up with the technology to launch a comfort shoe sub-brand. I got them on the day they dropped they are nice.😊

    @1forTrbl Před 5 měsíci +1

    I’ve never tried Lunarlon or the variant used in these, so I can’t really say anything about the comfort, but the design looks good on these, and that’s probably what decides if these are a hit or a miss for most people. React is very comfortable, but I haven’t had much luck with the durability, maybe these are what I need? They look breezy, good for summer.

    Bought the Lunar Caldra (Lunarlon) like 7 years ago and wanted to find brand new model of these. Come to find out it’s been gone for 7 years and came back 2 months ago perfect timing. Pair $46 for mine at Nike Outlet back in the day lol.

      All sneaker prices are outrageous these days. Almost $250 after tax for Jordan 3,4,5,6,7 etc. Jordan 1s are $150!! $115 for GR OG all white AF1! That’s just crazy, classics like Dunks and AF1 should have stayed at $100!! It doesn’t cost Nike crap to make these shoes, there profiting no matter whT

    Had multiple pairs of the lunarlon flyknit chukkas back in the day. They were really comfortable, but they lost comfort over time, the sole was not squishy anymore. Would be interesting to know if they did changes to the lunar material? Nowadays i prefer the boosted adidas shoes. Would love to see the ultraboost dna 4.0 back again

  • @johndonovan8043
    @johndonovan8043 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I would not recommend Lunarlon, the midsole in my Hyperdunk 2014s bottomed out/wore out so quickly, within 6 months, and I barely used those shoes. Even then, as you mentioned at 3:45, it is quite firm, it was never soft or bouncy to begin.

    Outdated? Lunarlon is their best tech they've had and needed to bring it back. I still have a couple pair of lunarlons that are more comfortable that any Nike I've had in the past 10 years.

      @victoralmeida3383 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yep, thats true. I ordered these half size up, just like every nike shoes I have. Unfortunately, I felt too much room left on the toebox , I had to return and ask my real size, so I would say they are true to size
