Nike's Lunarlon technology, a revelation in cushioning when it debuted in 2008, is making a nostalgic return with the Lunar Roam silhouette. This spring, the Lunar Roam lineup is expanding with the Pure Platinum Desert Moss colorway, following the success of the debut Alabaster colorway and the recent reveal of the Dark Smoke Grey Black pair. This latest addition further cements Lunarlon's legacy in Nike's history, a technology many cherish for its presence in top-tier runners and basketball sneakers from the late 2000s to the mid-2010s.
The Nike Lunar Roam Pure Platinum Desert Moss is a testament to the enduring appeal of Lunarlon technology. This model combines past innovations with contemporary design, offering sneakerheads a chance to experience the best of both worlds. The shoe features an engineered mesh upper in a pure platinum shade, ensuring breathability and a lightweight feel. This upper is complemented by desert moss-colored Magwire at the midfoot and heel, providing essential support and a distinctive color contrast.
Grey TPU accents on the toe and tongue add a layer of durability and style to the sneaker. The black Swoosh is prominently placed, making a bold statement against the lighter background. Additional Nike branding in black on the tongue pairs seamlessly with the pure platinum sockliner and heel, creating a harmonious aesthetic.
The highlight of the Lunar Roam is, undoubtedly, the Lunarlon-cushioned sole unit. This feature is a nod to the technology that once dominated Nike's performance footwear, offering solid comfort and responsiveness. The sole unit is presented in white and dark grey, harmonizing with the overall design. The outsole combines desert moss, white, and black to complete the sneaker.
The Nike Lunar Roam Pure Platinum Desert Moss will release February 9, 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $150. Stay up-to-date with this release and more by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
