New LunaRacer is marrying the technology with Lunarlite foam, Nike’s most advanced new cushioning system. Flywire works like cables on a suspension bridge, providing precisely engineered support for the foot.

The Flywire filaments are placed only where support is required, allowing for the reduction of materials, which equals reduction of weight. Made with Flywire, an upper weighs mere grams, while Lunarlite foam is both lightweight and highly responsive, two qualities which are usually mutually exclusive in cushioning.

The foam also distributes the pressure patterns more evenly across the foot to protect it from pain and injury—all important for distance events.

The LunaRacer’s outsole follows the foot’s natural motion, while Flywire works with the foot, stretching where an athlete needs it and providing support where it’s needed—almost like an extra ligament.

The LunaRacer weighs a mere 5.5 ounces, and elite athletes who’ve experienced Lunarlite foam cushioning are reporting that after their long runs, they feel less beat up.

Price: Rs. 8,500/-
