Nike Lunarglide 5

The Nike LunarGlide+ 5 running shoe is one of the best mixed running shoes for runners looking for cushioning and light weight.

They are lighter than the LunarGlide +4 and feature Flywire technology and plush cushioning designed to go the distance.

But what is Flywire?

Nike Flywire technology is based on a series of strategically placed strands that work like the cables of a suspension bridge. That is, offering support to the foot. These strong strands are applied to the minimalist design of the shoe's upper, reducing weight to create Nikes lightest shoe ever.

A very thin fabric covers the top of the foot, while Flywire technology secures the outsole and holds the foot in place.

To make the shoes fit like a glove, the updated Flywire wraps around the midfoot and arch and integrates with the lace loops to tighten and adjust and reduce pressure on the upper arch of the foot.

More technologies

• Dynamic Support provides the stability to correct overpronation in running but without increasing the weight and stiffness of a traditional midfoot brace. Floating heel clip moves with the foot to provide a new level of support and moderates excessive pronation in the rearfoot.

• Lunarlon cushioning. A soft, squishy yet highly resilient foam block injected into a lightweight structure to cushion with extreme softness, resilience and reliability.

• Inner mesh liner that wraps around the foot for a comfortable fit.

• Footbed that adapts to the shape of the foot for a personalized fit and improved support underfoot

• Padded collar that wraps around the ankle and protects the Achilles tendon and heel

• Flex grooves in the sole for increased flexibility and a soft, springy ride

• Reflective elements for increased visibility in low-light situations

• With Nike technology

• Weight: 275 grams (for a men's size 43).

Recommended for:

Recommended shoes for runners with mild pronation between 65 and 85 kg who need cushioning and like a soft footprint at a contained weight. For paces slower than 4:30 m/km.

For training or medium-long competitions at paces slower than 4:30 m/km.
