Is Skylon discontinued, if so what is..

Give the Lunar Trainer a try. The Asics Speedstar is another one you'll want to consider.

You guys have no freaken clue how soft this next model is. It is no joke the equivalent to running on clouds. That's all i'm going to say about it. Just be prepared for the first day of the rest of your life when it launches.

Spill the beans; name, fit, all of it...

the lunartrainer is being discontinued as well. the adizero tempo is a nice comparable shoe to the hayward and skylon.

strictlywalking: does your pair say BRTH on it? If so, then I have a similar pair of new structure triax.

Soft? The Skylon was known for it's firm yet responsive cushioning.

A soft version would'nt be considered the next model, but a completely different shoe altogether.

I know there's a new light weight trainer with Lunar foam coming out soon.Hopefully it's better than previous models with Lunarfoam.

IMHO Lunar foam has a long way to go before it's anything like Zoom Air. I can't get more than a week out of the Lunatrainers, (I'm a 60 mile a week guy). The racers are a good fit but still only last 50 miles.

Nike better make another lightweight trainer like the Skylon or I'm looking to other brands.

Train in racers, let your feet actually do their job.

agreed. If your the job your feet are supposed to do is get stress fractures, train in racers. Let your feet do that job.

P.S. training in racers works for some, but if you are one of those people who thinks everyone can and should do it, you are not so bright.

A winner!!!

Lunar Glide.

Better outsole. Firmer midsole.

I started running in the Heywards about 3 years ago and then I had to switch to the Cesium because of my feet...but now I run in Elites with orthodics and they remind me a lot of the Heywards regarding weight.

As previously stated the Lunar Glide is the next shoe Nike is releasing this summer. It will be kind of similar to the Hayward and Skylon. It features their dynamic support system which provides a custom amount of stability.

Thanks for the info,,, praying they are better then good?!

Whta is everyone's opinion on the NB 904, in relation to the Skylon? Nearly the same, not the same, +/-

I don't think the midsole is firmer, myself. I love the LunarGlide, but it's more of a general everyday trainer than a performance trainer in my opinion. It's more substantial than the LunarTrainer, and I like it better than the LunarTrainer, but I think it's just a bit softer and more supportive.
