NIKE lunar TR1 training shoe

today NIKE introduces the NIKE lunar TR1 – a unique perspective on the evolving demands of training. the shoe is lightweight for quickness, offers traction on multiple surfaces and provides unwavering support and cushioned protection.

the NIKE lunar TR1 is the company’s lightest training shoe yet. a men’s size 10 weighs just 9.4 ounces – 25 percent less than its predecessor. the sneaker has been also been engineered to get the wearers lower to the ground. a pressure-mapped high-traction outsole was developed specifically from studying the array of movements and types of surfaces that athletes encounter. lunarlon cushioning in the sole works in comfortable harmony with one’s natural range of motion in an unbelievably lightweight package underfoot.

‘NIKE has unrivaled insight into the evolving demands of the modern training athlete and the new NIKE lunar TR1 offers a groundbreaking combination of design and innovation to give athletes the best training footwear ever made. with gym workouts we’re seeing athletes go after include a lot of agility drills, cutting, sprinting and weight-training on multiple surfaces which places demanding forces on footwear and requires solutions that are uniquely capable. so our goal was to give athletes a shoe that best combines lightweight traction, support and protection. the NIKE lunar TR1 is that shoe.’

‘our goal is always to help build the best athletes in the world so the NIKE lunar TR1 delivers a superior combination of protection, support and lightweight performance. plus, we think it looks pretty cool, which also matters to athletes.’
