Overcome the Problems, Then You Win

Lunarlite Foam, which was released in 2008, was a foamed damping technology. This is an excellent shock absorption technology lighter than others in the Nike's development history. Many brands in this area have their special science and technology so as foam cushioning is not a new invention. The science and technology is usually composed of the shoes bottom, which is made of the traditional foaming materials to improve the foam hole to make them more delicate.
It is said that a person use thirty-six years to develop a kind of science and technology. The successful development of Lunarlite Foam NASA and Nike spent 36 years. In order to find this material and its inherent problems, some engineering designers spent their half life time to put the Lunarlite Foam into moss production. The problems are as followed: it was born in NASA's lab, expensive, and can hardly be mass production, and the performance of this material will decline when exposed in light, air and water, therefore it must be included in another material. The material is easily being shrink. If the material is blown into foam, it will be frozen to keep itself from deformation. The material becomes more stable and easier to find Phylon-the right wrapped foam material, which is Nike's most commonly used bottom material after the engineers readjusted its organic formula. In May, 2008, Lunarlite Foam debut, showed the race running shoes-Lunar Racer. And in 2009, followed by the listed Lunarglide, this technology was being familiar by more consumers.
A flattering evaluation, "feel like walking on the moon" was gained by Lunar. Consumers hold the belief that the ultimate sports shoes should have the properties of excellent shock absorption, high stability and sufficient lightweight. But generally speaking, light is the main feature of the sports shoes, which often means giving up the stability or a damping effect. And also, lightweight is the rival of durability, which makes the extreme lightweight shoes, being quickly forgotten by people. The function of Lunarlite Foam is to make the shoes wear more lightweight and elasticity. Athletes who have tried LunarGlide sample shoes said that Lunar makes them unable to hold themselves to go out running.
It's a very complex structure when the shoes working. Compared with the ordinary EVA and Phylon, the Lunar technology has a more soft foot feeling ,with excellent elasticity and light weight under its low density. But this material must be isolated with water, air and light. In view of this, the designers use two ways to maintain the stability of the material. First, we will talk about the Phylon, which is used to wrap the Lunarlite foam shell. The purpose of the shell design is to reduce capacity loss when the foot touches the ground and to alleviate the bad effect under its layer fold. At the same time, with a unique Dynamic Supporting System, Lunar running shoes can effectively adapt to the runners personal foot situation.
The spirit of the pursuit of higher stability and lower production cost encourages Lunar to change itself. People don't know when it first started, the Lunarlite technology disappeared in Nike shoes, and the Lunar Technology shoes also gradually started to decrease. According to the Nike designer, the lunar production cost is too expensive, mass production becomes very difficult. With time pass by, the depredate practical use of Lunarlite material is unavoidable. In order to solve this problem, the Nike designer quickly find solutions to make Lunarlite better. The method is to joined Phylon formula together with the lunar foam. Today's Lunarlite technology can not only reduces lunar sports shoes high cost, but also improve the stability and durability.
Lunar is an excellent technology, it will continue to develop, and become another milestone in the development history of air cushion shoes.
