Nike Lunar Racer 2
Hello to Earth from Lunar. When I saw Nike Lunar Racer 2 shoes online, i didn't know what I am into. Researched heavily on various blogs, forums, comments and Nike website. Couldn't find many negatives. So decided to give it a go. Most people said when you are buying these make sure to buy half size up. Say you are 8 1/2 UK size. So go for 9. So not being able to buy these in Melbourne. decided to try the luck online and that ship to Straaaaalia. Along came runningwarehouse.com This is a good website. Loads of info and options. Rather than going for one pair diced to try my luck in two. One size 8 1/2 and the other 9 and that being 9 1/2 and 10 in US size after add 1 to UK. Thought what ever shoe fits might as well wear it.
So place the order with a pair of brand spanking new Lunar Elite 2+_!@$* . Lunar Elite 2 deserves another post of its own. It is that good i say. So fedexed they say on the webiste. After 7 days it arrived So had to pick it up from their deport. Not going to write about why. But it was one of those missions across west Melbourne towards Airport. These rides across Melbourne are all accidental workouts. My client is at Highett, south east melbourne by the coast. I live in North Carlton. So the whole journey took 2 hours on my crappy push bike. Anyways when i opened the package, it was wow wow wow....... Big time running geek moments. The shoes felt right.
The shoes are extremely light weight. Packaging say's 7 ounces. So i decided to find out how many grams to an ounce. Rather than talking about how many grams to an ounce, brothers talking about how they got ripped off in weed deals about the wight not being correct. Any ways about 30 grams i found out. So 7 ounces by 30g equals 1Kg. They are feather weight. To my surprise the middle of the shoe sole is rigid and excellent support. It does not bent like Nike free range shoes. Cushioning is amazing.
So the first run, had my doubts as usual with a new pair. Injury worries, fitting worries, bounce worries, durability worries, blisters worries, toe nail rip off worries. To my surprise, none of that it was no worries mate. It hold really nice. Felt like flying. I dont think you can run slow with these ones. They have the inbuilt ingredients to fly. Definition of fling is, you let go and miss the ground. The further you are away from ground you are flying for the time being. It passed the first test and was very happy with the purchase. Only thing i didnt do with the Luanr Racer was making love with it. It was that good pair of shoes.
To my sadness found out that Nike has discontinued these shoes and now they have brought back the original Luanr Racer. Norah Jones said "Dont Know why". Me say the same. Duncan Kibbett did a marathon- Two Hours and 4 minuets wearing these once. So can be that bad to discontinue. Hopefully nike would come with a better one soon.
