Nike’s LunarGlide series has been an understated success story for over a half decade now. Defined by a sequence of pragmatic, no-nonsense upper designs, the Glide’s all-round workhorse status has often seen it overshadowed by the brighter lights in the Nike running armada. That low profile looks set to change with the arrival of the sixth iteration. When Nike recently invited Sneaker Freaker to take the new LunarGlide 6 for a test spin, we couldn’t speed dial 131 008 for a cab to the airport quick enough. On arrival at the picturesque destination, a rugged coastal area near Sydney, we were met by a group of equally confused fresh-faces and the challenge that lay ahead of us – a taxing 8k run through the Sydney Harbour National Park. While we assessed the parameters of the task and traded specs with Nike’s EKIN running specialists, the daunting sensation quickly faded as we were outfitted in an arsenal of running tech and a fresh pair of the LunarGlide 6. While we’d already received an enticing peek at the 6 at the shoe’s initial launch, finally we had a pair in our possession.
First impressions are always the best and there’s no denying the LunarGlide 6 is a handsome piece of kit. Wrapped boldly in a megawatt dose of ultravivid cobalt blue, it’s the spirited asymmetrical colour story down back that really grabbed our attention. Ultra-light and pillowy-soft, the Lunarlon outsole is the real-deal when it comes to comfort, and with an updated Dynamic Support system, it goes equally as hard as it looks. As the sun still slept behind the mountains around us, we embarked on our journey by sea, then by land. Like well dressed warriors clad in lycra, we were ready to face our opponent. As the sun awoke to bless our determined group with some truly breathtaking views, a sudden moment of insight was even more rewarding. After eight gruelling high-ground kilometres, these LunarGlides had delivered us safely to the summit. Buffed by endorphins and the thrill of reaching the final destination, it felt like we’d been gliding for 8000 metres on a bed of molten marshmallows.
Say hello to the LunarGlide 6, it’s worth it. The Nike Lunarglide 6 is available online and in selected size? stores now, priced at £95. LEVI MAESTRO x VANS FIRST LOOK! Here’s the first up-close look at the brand new Vans Vault collaboration with everyone’s favourite video blogger Levi Maestro! It seems like forever since Levi first turned a camera on himself and started sharing his inspiring travels and encounters with the world. There’s a hushed, humble integrity to the premium grey leather and suede uppers here that seems to fit Levi’s affable nature to a tee. Flip them over though and there’s a bright rainbow blend that perfectly captures his irrepressible passion for life and taking on new experiences. We caught up with Levi to get the inside word on how the colab came about and what the design means to him.Levi Maestro + Vans Vault from levi maestro on Vimeo. Hey Levi, what’s shaking in Maestro land? All is great, moving things forward and letting things move me!
Working on a bunch of new videos and finally seeing the release of my sneaker that’s been in the works for the last two years. Tell us about your Vans. Is this a dream come true? Absolutely a dream, especially the fact that it’s with Vans. Growing up as a skateboarder, that was what defined me and if you made it as a pro, one of the things you might be lucky enough to get was your own sneaker. I didn’t make it as a pro, but thanks to Vans believing in me, I got my own shoe! Were you hands-on in the design process? Definitely, they completely let me run free. When we first sat down I asked them if I could take the side stripe off, then how about deconstructing the panels and the stitching. By the third question I realised that they really were going to let me do whatever I wanted. I’m guessing there’s a lot of you in there. Are you grey up top and fruity on the bottom like the shoe? It’s worth way more than just a sneaker or a collaboration to me.
Grey is just my favorite color and the bottom is like the idea of how a person can sometimes be different inside than they appear on the exterior. I got the multicolour idea from a sneaker I had from them with a three-color bottom, seven is the number of completion so that’s how I ran it. What’s with the square lace holes? This is something I’m really hyped about because I haven’t seen it on another Vans shoe. I’m kind of stuck on waxed laces and since the rest of the shoe is so clean and simplistic, I wanted the laces to flesh cleaner than they typically do with eyelets.The leather looks super nice…. It’s for Vault by Vans and this tier of the brand uses all premium leathers and suedes, so I got to pick some real fancy pieces for these joints!~ Proudly authentic since 2008 ~ Who said AFL and sneakers mix? Woody from Sneaker Freaker, and as the founder and editor of global magazine sensation Sneaker Freaker and collector of over 2000 pairs of sneakers, he should know.
