Nike Lunar Elite+ Better Than My Other Running Shoes

The Lunar Elite bests the Nike Free 5.0, the Nike Run Avant, the Reebok Taikan II and the Mizuno Elixir 4. It's advantages include several overlays to keep, particularly, the toe box from imploding, and the plush lunar foam. The shoe is worth its expensive price ($100USD), I think!

@mckln

Sorry to bother u again but I have one last question, do u think I should get lunar eclipses or lunar elites?

Lunar elites are less heavier by about 2 oz

but lunar eclipses look better. Is 2 oz enough to not consider buying the lunar eclipses?

So to conclude to make sure u dont get confused with what I'm asking, do u think lunar elites would best lunar eclipses

@Mrricebubbles14

Not sure, your decision depends on what you value more: weight or fashion. I value weight and would go for the elites. The Elite already is more fashionable than offerings from other brands :)

@mckln

Thanks for answering but I'm curious did the foam wear out a lot

[mckln]

@Mrricebubbles14 No; the foam is still in tact. In comparison, the Nike Free 3.0 rubber wears out fast -- Lunarlon lasts longer.

[Mrricebubbles14]

How long have u had ur lunar elites and if u dont have them now, how long did they last?

[mckln]

@Mrricebubbles14 I've had them for 18 months; I still wear them; in fact, I wore them tonight!  These shoes have lasted because they aren't my everyday trainer -- I use Nike Free 3.0 for everyday running and for races, I use the Lunar Spider R. I only wear the Lunar Elites on recovery runs.

[Mrricebubbles14]

Just bought air Pegasus 28. Have u tried them?

@mckln

Thanks for the reply, I think i'll go for elites

[Mrricebubbles14]

It's $160 in Aus :(

@TandLstorm Thanks for the encouragement; in the year and a half since I've made this, the Lunar Elite has undergone significant structural changes -- most noticeably on the outer where there is much more fly wire these days!
