The Glide’s upper continues the theme of “silky smooth”.
On the foot strike you can feel the slight sink as the material compresses. The cushioning is significant and absorbs much of the force from the foot strike. It runs like a neutral shoe, but has the Dynamic Support section found on several Lunar shoes which gives stability when necessary.ĭue to the rounded features the Glide has a smooth ride. The Glide5 is the epitome of the Lunarlon platform. The tread is similar to the Lunar Elite but with a deeper center divot and rounded, smooth features. The sole is Nike’s Lunarlon platform, the basis of all Lunar shoe series. I doubt one could rub a blister except in the worst of conditions. The foot strike is soft, the insole is soft, the mesh upper is soft…This entire shoe just feels soft and silky.
That is my first impression, comfort built right into the texture of the shoe. My first run in the LunarGlide 5 I thought aloud “silky smooth”.
It is founded on the Lunarlon platform and is constructed for cushioning and just a bit of stability with Nike’s Dynamic Support. The Nike LunarGlide 5 is the fifth incarnation of the LunarGlide series.
