The Nike SB Lunar Gato shoes are crafted for a skateboarders dream. The toecap has been reformatted with a faux-stitched one-piece suede layer. The suede has also been treated with a thin, rough material around the tip. This time around, the shoe is a little more aggressive, but still holds to its character.
The Nike SB Lunar Gato skate shoe fits on more of the narrow side. The slim-fitting sneaker is optimal for an individual with a slimmer foot. Just like the original Gato and similar soccer silhouettes, the SB Lunar Gato has more of a rounded heel which helps lock your foot into place. The lightweight sneaker comes created with a midsole that is entirely composed of some sort of space-age stuff. This stuff cuts down the sneakers weight and gives you a better ride.
