I am about to be finshed with my Nike Lunarlite Run Avants. They are an amazingly light and cushioned shoe which I recommend to anyone who needs neutrl cushioning and wants to run way fast. But I am looking for a new shoe, preferably Nike, and lightweight, but I am stupped in what shoes to look for. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Try the LunarGlide+. It still has the same lunarlite cushioning system and are relatively light weight with a low profile fit to them.
Nike is also about to come out with a few other new shoes (some are available at Niketowns and online). The Glide is nice, but some people think it's a bit too much shoe. I believe these are all lighter than the LGs, but I could be wrong on that.
The new LunarElite is a firmer, more responsive "tempo" shoe than the Avant.
The LunarFly will be replacing the Avant in April. It's got a similar Lunarlite base like the Avant, but with an upper that's reminiscent of the Haywards from a few years ago.
There's also the Lunarswift which you can look into.
The LunaRacer 2 is also out now as well.
Just got a pr of lunaracers and man, I love those things. Havent worn nike in years, but jeeze these shoes are sweeeeet.
Nordstroms had lunar trainers and lunar racers at their yearly men's shoe sale. Trainers were $52 and racers were $48. Got a pair of both.
i walked in lunarracers in the slushy now around chicago for 12 hours heading from train station to lincoln park to shed aquarium to train station and I was amazed how dry my sock and foot was.
I just wish they would make a nonflashy un-neon version of the shoe.
I LOVE the original Lunaracers. I use them for tempos and speedwork.
I have the Lunar Glides and they are a lot more shoe. I like them OK, but just a bit too much shoe for me.

I find the LunarGlide to be a bit too much shoe and relatively stiff. Any one have an opinion on the Lunar Elite?

Woops, shoulda read on.....
Does this mean Nike is slowly coming around to leading the shoe manufacturers out of the wilderness of bulky heel padded shoes to a more minimalistic selection. If so, lead on Nike
