Many tip the Flyknit Lunar 3 as the top running shoe of 2015. We are on the same side here. It is one of the top running shoes in the market today. When compared with the previous generations of Flyknit Lunar, Nike has not changed much with these shoes. That is a great thing; there was so little wrong about the first generation. Where the Lunar 3 is significantly different from the Lunar 1 and Lunar 2 is those subtle improvements that drastically increase your comfort and performance.

The shoe stays true to its size. A size 9 weights around 213 grams. Coming to the upper, this shoe boasts a Flyknit upper. This technologically advanced upper consists of a one-piece, overlay-free engineered material. This upper also features an unique construction throughout the shoe. The heel area has a denser knit for improved stability. The breathable levels of the shoes are amazing, thanks to the looser knit in the midfoot and the forefoot area of the shoe. The Flyknit technology also helps in reducing wastage during manufacturing.
