Nike LunarEpic Flyknit 2

The second version of one of the sneakers that surprised us the most in 2016 arrives, The Nike LunarEpic Flyknit 2 presents a redesign in which they have worked on new colors and an elevated profile, which highlights a thin collar design and a Nike Flyknit seamless inner bootie.

What remains intact is the soft cushioning provided by Lunarlon technology. The latest laser technologies and a sole with localized pressure zones have been used for its manufacture.

The one-piece Flyknit upper wraps the foot for incredible comfort. The Lunarlon midsole with high-precision laser-cutting offers a smooth and seamless ride, and the pressure-mapped outsole provides strategic cushioning.

Upper

The shoe takes on the shape of a bootie or sock made from a single piece of Flyknit. This provides not only excellent breathability but also flexibility and a great fit.

• The Flyknit upper is woven with a material that helps support the foot without rubbing.

• Laser perforations integrated into the Flyknit in the forefoot for increased ventilation.

• Nike continues to rely on Flywire technology found from the Flyknit upper integrating with the lacing and providing a dynamic fit in the midfoot support.

• The foam and plush collar reaches the lacing area which increases comfort.

• Heel overlays fit like a second skin for added firmness.

Midsole

Midsole cushioning is once again Lunarlon, the injected Phylon (IP) foam found just under the sole and a slightly firmer injected unit sole (IU) foam that provides stability.

The profiled Lunarlon midsole provides optimal flexibility to adapt to the shape of the foot without strange movements during the run.

Flexibility is achieved with a series of laser cutouts in the medial and lateral areas of the midsole to provide a continuous heel-to-toe transition motion.

Outsole

Laser-cut pads increase cushioning and provide traction on a variety of surfaces.

Rubber outsole locates pressure points when running to provide cushioning in specific areas, plus a neutral and efficient stride from start to finish.
