It doesn't seem like they are making this shoe anymore. Anyone know a good replacement for it that is similar in feel?

I would also like to know. I loved the LT4 for high volume workouts that I didn't want to wear spikes in.
NIke Spike-Flat looks like the same shoe with a spike plate. But if you don't want that, the Saucony A9 is pretty close, I personally find it a bit more comfortable.
On the spike flat version of this shoe, the plastic protrudes out. You wouldn't really be able to use it on the road.
Saucony Type A is probably your best bet. Not quite as good a shoe IMO, but better durability.
Reebok Run Fast Pro is another good one if you can get it on sale (no way it's a $250 shoe, but I keep getting pairs at $120 so whatever). I would probably choose that over spikes for any track race 5k and up.
Also check out the Skechers GoMeb Speeds.
If you are planning to use it for track workouts, then just get the new spike-flat, which is basically the LT4 with spike plate from matumbo. If on-road or gravel, then for me the Adidas adios and Boston had a similar feeling, they are also pretty light and minimalistic
I haven't used these yet, but the puma liberate nitro gives me a similar vibe. Looks lightweight and snappy, and I've been considering those to replace my LT4s when the time comes.
adidas sub 2 is a nice flat can find them way under $60

Just give it 3 more years. The minimal trend will return when Nike finds a way to make a shoe that weighs 3oz with some mechanism that makes you faster than you would be in a 4%. That's just way the shoe industry works. In fact, I would not be surprised if their innovation lab has something brewing right now. Nike is the leader, and nobody will beat them to market with the latest shoe tech.
Right now it's "more is more".
Salomon SLab Phantasm looks compelling. Though the $180 price point seems excessive.
