Nike Lunarlon technology in Converse shoes

Christian Louboutin, French shoe designer for the Parisian music hall, said:

"I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, oh my gosh! They look so comfortable!” .

With this, he was referring to the fact that high-heeled, party or cocktail shoes do not pursue such a function. However, when it comes to cheap Converse sneakers, such an expression would be a complete compliment. And that is what the brand has pursued by using the Lunarlon technology from the Nike company.

This advanced technology procedure allows adequate cushioning in each step . In a simple way, we could say that the idea is to incorporate a core made of highly resistant foam, but very soft, which ensures that the user does not suffer when walking or running, nor does the rebound send impact signals to their brain. In addition, it contributes to the reduction or absorption of pressure points on tissues, joints and muscles of the feet.

To make footwear like this, which contributes to the health and well-being of the lower extremities, foams made with a special design are used, of different thicknesses and densities. This makes it possible to offer extremely light cushioning, which is very useful when practicing any sport regardless of the type of terrain. The result is a light, smooth and efficient shoe . And in this way, the athlete feels a sole that is, at the same time, soft or cushioned and elastic, which allows him to improve his performance.

How does Nike's Lunarlon technology work?

To apply the Lunarlon cushioning mechanism of the footprint , what is done is to work with a midsole of two sections that work in harmony, in order to offer a pleasant sensation of lightness, softness and effective response to the march. These are:

• Lightweight foam core . This is the upper section, made up of a soft foam, although as already mentioned it is highly resistant. Its function is to distribute the forces caused by the impact against the ground uniformly over a larger area. Thus, it is possible to reduce the pressure on the anatomical structures of the foot, leg, knee and hip.

• Firm foam structure . We're talking about the bottom section here, which serves as the base for the lightweight foam center. This structure stabilizes the upper and helps keep it stationary so bounce is minimal and occurs only in the vertical direction.

Where is this shoe system applied?

Among the applications of Lunarlon technology in Nike shoes we find:

• running . This is its main use, because in turn it is one of the actions that causes the most impact on the athlete's body. With Lunarlon the blow is distributed evenly and a pleasant and softer sensation is created for the foot.
• training . When doing daily practice, Lunarlon technology creates a lightweight shoe that helps fatigue take longer to appear. In addition, it provides the required cushioning during repetitions.
• Tennis . Thanks to this technology, tennis players are protected against the impacts of the game and prepared to make quick movements around the court. Thus, they can react effectively and move comfortably.
• basketball . In this case, the material used for the shoe is a little firmer than that of running shoes. The idea is that the athlete better resist the rigors of this sport, which is also very high impact.
