Vibrantly Knitted Runners

The Nike Lunar 1 Kicks Use Flyknit Technology to Help Athletes Soar

When Nike released its world renowned Flyknit technology last year, this prolific athletic company noticed an overwhelming consumer response to its cutting edge workout tech and now its Nike Lunar 1 shoes are taking its Flyknit designs to the moon.

Nike’s Flyknit design first became popular because athletes and workout enthusiasts found the breathable and flexible composition of these knitted runners an absolute must have for any sweaty exercise session.

Since then, Nike’s Flyknit design has also become a fashion-forward statement of class and comfort and the Nike Lunar 1 shoes are the company’s latest creation to embrace this breezy fabric. Set to release in Summer 2013, the Nike Lunar 1 shoes are stylish exercise essentials.
