lunar1

It turned out that I only window shopped the Air Max 1 Breathe, returning them after not liking the fit. Then as luck would have it, Nike restocked the AM1 variation called the Lunar1. Think Air Max 1 updated with Lunarlon foam around the Air Max bubble. Now we’re talking – classic look with modern tech. Take a better look…

Instead of the hard feel of the OG AM1 sole, the Lunarlon has a mushier ride but not overly spongy. The taped seams are there along with the improved laces. Not sure what the laces are made of, but I like them. The speckled sole and the yellow accents add enough design, but the photo blue color is the main attraction. Fortunately for my foot, reviews of the Lunar1 complain that sizing is off. Reviewers say to order a half size smaller saying these run bigger. But since the AM1 Breathe was snug for me, the extra space of the Lunar1 is welcomed.

Cross the Air Max 1 off my kicks want list. 🙂
