Nike LunarGlide 6: Perfected by Elite Athletes

How do you like to be in the shoes of an Olympic medalist and an American record holder?

Shalane Flanagan is a ruthless competitor winning a bronze medal for the 10,000m in the Beijing Olympics 2008 and finished 7th in this year’s Boston Marathon with a PR of 2:22:02, making her the third fastest female American marathoner ever.

She runs a total of 120 miles every week pushing her limits and testing the new Nike LunarGlide 6. Nike used the feedback from Shalane to create the most stable LunarGlide ever. As a result, the LunarGlide 6 is Shalane’s preferred training shoe.

According to Shalane Flanagan, “The LunarGlide 6 is my favorite version of the shoe so far. I like how Nike fine-tuned it to be the perfect blend of stability and durability so I can wear them for both my long runs and my daily training runs. I like the sleeker look and feel combined with soft, cloud-like feeling of the cushioning.”

To make it the best LunarGlide to date, Nike used a lighter version for the Lunarlon foam, a redesigned outsole pattern, an enhanced Dynamic Support stability and an all-new engineered upper design.

“The LunarGlide is the epitome of performance meets style,” said Rob Williams, Senior Footwear Designer. “We took a holistic approach to enhancing stability in the LunarGlide 6, and Lunarlon offers lightweight, soft and responsive cushioning. It’s the best of both worlds for runners – lightweight cushioning and amazing support.”

The new Lunarlon foam is 30% lighter and is made of super soft and responsive rubber that was used by elite marathon runners in Beijing 2008. It allows runners to cover more miles without the weight of the shoe dragging them down.

The Dynamic Support technology which is only seen in Nike shoes is a two-part midsole for cushioning and excellent stability. The novel design uses two foams of different densities to offer a smooth and stable transition from toe to heel.

The update on the shoe’s upper removed unnecessary materials to lessen the weight further and integrated the Nike Flywire for a snug and adjustable fit.

Time to put yourself on the shoes of an elite marathoner with the new Nike LunarGlide 6. It’s a great shoe for both long runs and for everyday training. It is now available in Nike stores nationwide. The LunarGlide 6 is priced at 5,995 Php.
