Blue Ribbon Sports Company (Nike) released another shoe on the Lunarlon platform. Nike released Lunar Tempo in early 2015. Nike Lunar Tempo made its way into India shortly after. This shoe is for both training runs and the final runs. It provides both lightweight stability along with supreme comfort and cushioning. This shoe will provide the performance you need on a daily basis.

Specifications:

Heel height: 26mm

Toe height: 18mm

Heel-to-toe drop: 8mm

A size 9 men’s shoe weighs 193g. Nike Lunar Tempo is one of the lightest running shoes in the running shoe industry. The fit is a little tight as this shoe runs narrow in the toe box area. It is half-a-size smaller than typical Nike sizing. Keep this point in mind while making the purchase. Wide feet people will not enjoy the Nike Lunar Tempo. This neutral performance shoe is ideal for road running. You will see that Nike included a lot of reflective material with this shoe, thereby improving nighttime visibility. Highly breathable upper ensures that your feet are always cool and dry. You may experience minimal tongue slide with this shoe.

The upper features a single layer engineered mesh. Not only that, the seamless construction ensures that there is minimal irritation. Breathability levels of the shoe are brilliant. We also see an Ortholite sock-liner that provides added cushioning. Strategically placed Flywire cables offer lightweight stability and unparalleled lockdown.

Lunarlon foam covers the entire midsole. We see a responsive ride, thanks to the redesigned Lunarlon foam. This is the same technology used in Nike Flyknit Lunar 3. Lunarlon foam in an EVA shell just adds to the responsiveness. The heel to toe transfer is great and the gait cycle is highly efficient with this shoe. Marathon running with this shoe should be a breeze and the Lunarlon foam provides the much-required durable support and cushioning.

BRS 1000 Carbon rubber on the outsole deliver the best in class durability. The Waffle design on the outsole provide multi-terrain traction. The traction levels of the shoe are exceptional. There is minimal loss of grip during wet weather conditions.

Do not even think for one second that these shoes are not durable. Durability is supreme. Even if these shoes are very light, there is no compromise on cushioning. There is enough cushioning to ensure that the shock is absorbed. Cushioning to weight ratio is amazing. This light and flexible shoe should replace all your shoes for your various road-running needs.

Nike Lunar Tempo retails at 8,995INR. Search around online and you may even find a healthy discount.

Bottom-line: One of the lightest running shoes in the industry.
