Nike Lunarlon<\/strong> technology has been around since 2008, but lately it’s been popping up unexpectedly. In the course of the last week, we’ve seen Lunar<\/strong> revamp the likes of the Nike Air Max 1, Nike Air Raid, Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski and Nike Air Tiempo ’94. So, of all the Nike’s to get the Lunar update treatment, which pairs are the best? We took a look back and found our eight favorite.<\/p>\n

Nike Lunar Flow<\/h2>\n

\"Nike<\/p>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air Flow (1989)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2011<\/p>\n

The Nike Lunar Flow saw the Flow in futuristic form before it officially relaunched as a retro. Reviews were good, as the shoe’s sleek silo took well to the updated tech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Lunar Force 1<\/h2>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air Force 1 (1982)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2012<\/p>\n

After two decades of dominance mostly made memorable by creative colorways and hardwood nostalgia, the Air Force 1 dropped its Air in 2012 with the release of the Nike Lunar Force 1. This Marc Dolce design ditched encapsulated Air in favor of a full-length Lunar sole for lightweight, forward-thinking comfort.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Pre Montreal Lunar Racer<\/h2>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Pre Montreal Racer (1970s)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2012<\/p>\n

Vintage runners often vary in popularity, due in large part to the use of an aged midsole. Nike scrapped said styling with the release of the Nike Pre Montreal Lunar Racer. An old-school upper sits atop a full-length Lunarlon sole for cozy comfort with no sign of fading.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max Lunar90<\/h2>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air Max 90 (1990)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2014<\/p>\n

Of all the Air Max models that have seen updates, the AM90 has adapted to change most fluidly. The Nike Air Max Lunar90 plays to this case, carrying the shoe’s iconic elements while implementing Lunar comfort. To make all that even better, styles like the “Infrared” colorway mix nostalgia and tech in a manner that doesn’t appear forced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Lunar 180 Trainer SC<\/h2>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air Trainer SC (1989)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2014<\/p>\n

As a general rule, most Lunar updates are rooted in running. The Nike Lunar 180 Trainer SC is among a few models that have flipped the script, taking the Lunar route on a favorited Bo Jackson silo. More performance driven than other Lunar updates, this recent release was workout ready thanks to Hyperfuse support and an Air unit in the heel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Lunar Mariah<\/h2>\n photo via Sneaker Freaker<\/a>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air Mariah (1980)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2009<\/p>\n

Slim and pretty, the Nike Lunar Mariah was an early introduction to the tech updated retro releases we see so frequently today. A white base made the most of OG purple and pink accents, running lighter thanks to Lunarlon cushioning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike ACG Lunar Vengeance<\/h2>\n

\"Nike<\/p>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air Vengeance (1985)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2011<\/p>\n

The Nike Air Vengeance made its return in Lunar form back in 2011 with the launch of the Nike Lunar Racer Vengeance. Those were cool, but we prefer the ACG-assisted update. Adding elements of speckled styling and upgraded support, these still look tough three years later.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Lunar Air 180<\/h2>\n

\"size?<\/p>\n

Original Model:<\/strong> Nike Air 180 (1991)
\nLunar Launch:<\/strong> 2010<\/p>\n

Sought after size? collabs and OG updates made the Nike Lunar Air 180 a favorite among kick collectors. Dropping almost two decades after the revolutionary runner first launched, this pair set the path for many models to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
