The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-lunar-roam) LunarGlide 6 is a running shoe that features Nike's famous lightweight Lunarlon cushioning, as well as providing the enhanced stability, support and eye-catching style that every runner craves.

The shoe's upper is equipped with soft foam as well as breathable mesh that conforms to the wearer's foot. The upper is also integrated with Nike [Flywire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-cut-3) which provides a snug fit. The shoe is also fitted with a supportive heel clip.

Nike's Senior Footwear Designer believes the Nike LunarGlide 6 is a perfect example of a show that marries style and performance.
