I was just watching an interview with Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 designer, Sean McDowell, when out of nowhere I hear wifey appear in the room and say "you aren't getting those". Hmmm...sounds like a challenge?
As you know - I'm a pretty big fan of the Nike Flyknit Lunar which resulted in me having 1 pair to run in and one pair to rock - and the pair that is using for running is just about expired (I've put over 500 miles on those puppies to date), and with all of the technological advances (locked down lace, flywire, 9 oz) in the Flyknit Lunar 2 - sorry B, it's gotta be done.
Check out the official specs after the jump, and purchase here.
IMPOSSIBLY LIGHT. INCREDIBLY STRONG.
The Nike Flyknit Lunar2 Men's Running Shoe delivers the ideal blend of strength, support and comfort with an ultra-lightweight fit and soft, responsive Lunarlon cushioning.
ULTRALIGHT SUPPORT
The ultralight yet strong Flyknit upper is precisely engineered to deliver a comfortable and supportive fit. Made entirely of polyester yarn, it's a one-piece layer that's woven more openly in areas that need greater flexibility and tighter in areas that demand more support. The result is a formfitting and virtually seamless upper.
SECURE FIT
Sturdy Flywire cables wrap the midfoot for added support. They work with the Dynamic Fit system, integrating with the shoe's laces for a secure, locked-down fit that moves with you.
RESPONSIVE CUSHIONING
Lunarlon cushioning provides a soft and responsive ride, featuring a resilient foam core with a bottomless foam carrier for a plush, comfortable feel.
LESS WASTE
To construct the single-layer Flyknit upper, polyester yarn is fed into a proprietary knitting machine that creates little to no waste, making the shoe incredibly efficient to produce.

FLYKNIT ORIGINS
Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners seeking a shoe with an ultralight, second skin-like fit. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability-all in one layer-was refined, resulting in a featherweight and virtually seamless upper.
