Shop the Womens Flyknit Lunar+

The Nike Flyknit Racer, one of the first two Nike Flyknit running shoes, turned more than a few heads when it debuted on the feet of elite runners competing—and dominating—on the world stage last summer. The new Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ ($160),  available in men’s and women’s sizes, offers runners lacing up in preparation for the spring racing season the benefits of that shoe, with a noteworthy cushioning update.

Runners, and especially those who race, need a shoe that fits perfectly, with enough structure for support and the right cushioning for lasting comfort—good looks don’t hurt either. The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ delivers on all of this. Like its predecessors, it features an ultra-light knit upper that fits like a second skin and offers breathability, stretch and support where you need it. Flywire cables on the upper enhance support for a locked-down feel. (Customize them through the laces for personalized support.)

The big news with this version of the Nike Flyknit is the addition of Lunarlon cushioning for a soft, responsive ride—which you’ll appreciate more and more with each passing mile between you and the finish line.

UPDATE (October 3): Good news, Flyknit fans: The Nike Flyknit Racer and Nike Flyknit Trainer+ are back by popular demand. Worn by world-class athletes in competition this summer, the eye-catching Volt colorway of the Racer gained a following virtually overnight and the shoe (along with the Trainer version) sold out in record time.

Both running shoes will be available online again tomorrow, including four new colorways of the Nike Flyknit Trainer: Electric Green, Varsity Royal / Electric Green, Court Purple / Medium Violet and University Red / Electric Green. Just keep in mind that—like the elite runners who first sported the shoe on the world’s stage—you’d best move fast if you want to score. 

ORIGINAL (July 25): Two highly anticipated new Nike running shoes will launch in just a few days, offering new technology for runners looking to push their pace to the next level.

Both the exceptionally lightweight Nike Flyknit Racer and the Nike Flyknit Trainer feature Nike Flyknit technology for structure, support and a precision fit that feels like a second skin. The one-piece knit uppers on these styles feature areas of stretch, breathability and support right where you need them, whether you’re an elite athlete or simply a fast runner looking for a fast shoe.
