Reviews of Nike Shox Air Lunar NZ Mens Running Shoes

Customer Ratings:

This is my third pair of Nike Shox. I love them, comfortable to wear all day as well as run a few miles in. If I was planning on doing a half-marathon or longer I would go get a custom fit shoe from a running store but for everyday wear and morning runs these are great! I usually wear these shoes everyday, 7 days a week and they last about two years before I either have to replace them because they are falling apart or they are just too dirty.

This is 8th pair of Nikes in 15 years. The last better than your average sneaker. My knees and joints are getting there so I wanted something with superior cushioning. I guess this is as cushioned as the come.

Performance 8/10 As usual I get a half size larger on Nikes because they are a snug fit for me. The contours are great and wrap well. Heel guard isn't too stiff and is flexible. The shox feel really good but need some getting used to as far as balance. Not like you'l keel over, but it's slightly different. Good airflow that keeps it comfortable too.

Price and appearance 7/10Not a big fan of the exposed shox but I guess that's what makes the show. Feels like I'm on stilts but otherwise not an issue. Price is average, and is usually worth the durability.

In general, this is a good walking shoe if you need the extra bounce or cushion.

Best Deals on Nike Shox Air Lunar NZ Mens Running Shoes

I bought these shoes after trying them on at a department store in New Jersey.

These shoes integrate decades worth of Nike technology making the smoothest ride that I have ever found in a shoe. (I know this sounds like an advertisement from Nike but I assure you that I'm just a really big fan of this shoe). With that aside, I think that all the research sure does pay off. I'm going to give you a short description of each technology.

Shox these four cylindrical columns at the back of the shoe provide great support without the added weight of a heavy sole.

Air each Shox has a small, extremely-durable air bubble encapsulated within the column in order to provide great impact resistance.

Lunarlon (Lunar) Nike claims that this technology was developed with NASA. whether true or not, the Lunarlon is a foam that lines the bottom of the shoes. It makes the shoe super light and provides excellent protection from running surfaces.

This combination of these technologies make the shoe such a joy to wear. The only downside to the shoe is that the mesh upper may wear out quickly, but the superior breathability makes this downside worth it.

FYI I use these shoes mainly for cross-training (lifting weights, light jogging, calisthenics, etc.)
