The Nike LunarEpic is so called because it combines two of Nike’s latest, greatest and costliest high tech features, a Flyknit Asics Gel Lyte 3 Dames upper and Lunarlon sole unit.
Being a fan of both technologies, which in no other shoe can be found together, I was stoked for this Epic union.
Had Nike left the epic-ness below the ankle I have no doubt these would’ve Adidas Superstar Homme Noir been amongst the few incredible shoes I review that stay in my daily rotation once the reviews are said and done.
Unfortunately Nike stretched the Epic up as far as they could, above the ankle in fact, which lead to constant blistering on my Achilles, making them basically unwearable for running.
Straight from them being called the LunarEpics its obvious how Nike positions these shoes, they are the absolute Nike Roshe Run Mujer top of the line.
Nike combined the Lunarlon sole unit, which is used in the LunarGlide 8 and LunarEpic Low, with a high-top version of the Flyknit uppers found throughout Nikes model line.
Waiting for these was an Nike Air Max Command Damen Schwarz anxious process, these are the absolute most expensive high end Mecca of technology shoes Nike has in their massive lineup of running shoes.
Based on that along with the fact that some of my all-time favorite shoes had Nike Air Max 90 Femme used Flyknit uppers or Lunarlon midsoles I had incredibly high expectations for these shoes.
The sole unit is Nike’s Lunarlon foam through and through, 100% foam. That’s right, Nike didn’t bother putting the four or so Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Mens tiny patches of rubber they normally through on their mostly foam models, namely the Frees.
Heads up – it really doesn’t make a difference – traction seems on par with any pair of Nike Frees I’ve had, which is to say its not great but for a daily trainer its more than adequate.
Of note is that the laser sipings – basically all the little grooves that make the shoe flexible – suck up stones like nobody’s Nike Air Max Classic Bw Feminino business. It’s not really a big deal for me but I know some people may be sensitive to that.
