The Nike LunarTempo is a running shoe targeted towards those runners who desire the lightweight performance of flat racing shoes, but still relish the plus cushioning of everyday trainers.
Nike designers came up with the shoe after spending time meeting with athletes and running with them and studying their running shoe collections. What they discovered is that while many runners had logged countless miles in Nike Lunaracers, this meant that they required more cushioning and comfort to keep going.
The resulting Nike LunarTempo features the lightness, flexibility, durability and traction that runners desire as well as ultra-light reengineered Lunarlon foam for unmatched comfort. The shoe features a highly resilient foam core that is hooked up to a phylon carrier for extra support.
Ultimately, this shoe successfully marries the world of flat running shoes and everyday streetstyle ear.
