Don't look for major changes in the latest installment of the mythical Lunarglide family from Nike Running, because the successful formula of the Nike Lunarglide 8 is repeated in the ninth version, why touch what works really well? This practical premise is what the North American company has followed to present the Nike Lunarglide 9. A model that continues to maintain that light and flexible cushioning capacity, and now even softer, and that intends to continue with the purpose of improving the running experience of the runner.
Although there are no major modifications, the new update of the Nike Lunarglide 9 does introduce small improvements in order to achieve a better support and breathability of the model.
The signature Lunarlon foam is once again present in the Lunarglide 9, although that foam core is even softer and softer. The Nike Running designers have also not foregone using the Phylon material, capable of providing more density in the midsole, which favors greater stability control, resulting in the model being suitable for mild and even moderate pronator runners. In this way, the Nike Lunarglide 9 provides the runner with more responsive and lighter cushioning.
On the other hand, the great reactivity of the Nike Lunarglide 9 also comes from the laser cuts on the outside of the midsole, which are not only able to absorb impacts better, but also contribute to enjoy a smoother transition, and even contribute to improved traction.
The upper of the Nike Lunarglide 9 comes in a one-piece, jacquard weave construction, which ultimately results in increased breathability, as well as extraordinary support. And with the added bonus of being seamless, it provides a higher level of comfort.
Speaking of support, of course the Nike Lunarglide 9 also features one of Nike Running's trademark innovations, the Flywire system. That web of cables that wraps around the entire foot when you lace up, and grants longer lasting comfort with every step. It should also not be forgotten that the Nike Lunarglide 9 includes an external TPU piece in the heel area, which provides greater stability in that part of the shoe.
All in all, the Nike Lunarglide 9 is that versatile option as a training shoe for high volume mileage with optimal cushioning and a touch of support guaranteed. Technical specifications? More of the same seen in the Nike Lunarglide 8: 10 mm drop, and weight around 270 grams.
