Nike LunarGlide 8 review
“These shoes are ugly" - they are the first words my wife said to me when I put them on. True, they are “odd,” and the colour may not be the most pleasing, but I always love to try different things. Let me just say, I'm glad I did.
I didn’t even know these things existed before I saw them on sale on a website for dirt cheap, at the time. I was familiar with the Lunarglide line and even familiar with the Lunarglide 8, but I never saw this special edition. For the price and the great reviews the regular model 8's had, I bought them right away!
I was looking for a solid training shoe with some support that I could throw in the mix during training for my 2nd marathon. After about 250-mile run on these bad boys during training, these are my thoughts.

As soon as I put these things on, I felt connected. I am a huge fan of the snug fit and the upper collar on the shoe. It just brings a feeling of connecting with your body.
As you walk around in these, you get to feel something really special. It has a great mix of support and mobility. I am a mild overpronator, and these things provided me just enough support to help me stay neutral without holding my movement back.

As you begin to walk in these shoes, you feel the softness. They are very comfortable and bring your run to feeling stress-free. I absolutely enjoyed the combination of comfort and support. Was perfect for my long training runs.
I am a believer that if you don't like the way the shoes feel when walking around, then you won't like them when you’re running. The Nike Lunarglide 8 B Side is comfortable across the board.
After running 250+ miles in these one final thing comes to my mind when it comes to "feel." They are consistent. Doesn’t matter what type of run or how you feel that day, these shoes brought on the same feeling each run. I was definitely impressed by the overall feel of this shoe.

Just for a frame of reference; what I was expecting for performance was a solid training shoe that I could break out in long, short and recovery runs at a variety of paces. I was hoping that they would perform and PERFORM, they did.
The Nike Lunarglide 8 were my go-to shoe for long training runs. I think that is where the shoes shine! With these on my feet, a 10-20 mile run felt like gold. They gave me a consistent feel of stability and the lightweight of the shoe made me feel very fluid.
I loved these shoes for my recovery slow-paced runs as well. The soft midsole brought me to having sustained comfort even when I was a bit sore.
I didn’t do much speed work with these, but my takeaway was these shoes were not built for speed. The comfort and soft feel just didn’t give me a lot of energy return nor provide a “speedy” feeling.
I believe you can use these for multiple purposes, but the absolute sweet spot is the long, moderate-paced training run.

This part of the shoe was an unexpected surprise. I never ran in a shoe with a collar which in return lead this shoe to be a mid-top running shoe. Wow, I loved it! It was not odd to feel at all. It brings on a solid sense of connection and brings the fit to feel very snug.
The toe box is great! It is nice and roomy in there, allowing the toes to splay naturally during your gait cycle.
The tongue and lacing system is a little weird, well because…. it has no tongue. The lack of tongue leads the laces to not being able to tighten the best. In my opinion, it didn't allow me to lock down my foot as much as in other shoes.
On the other hand, these heel cups are really cool. I love the design, and they brought on a great fit too.

The midsole is one of the most comfortable I’ve felt.
The arch support it has is slight but effective. It brings on all that I need and will work for anyone who is a mild overpronator.
It just didn’t hold up as I would like
Now, this is the biggest flaw in the shoe. Nike has recently started removing the rubber treads on some of its models which brings on a better feel and reduces weight, but it comes with one big sacrifice - WEAR.
As you can tell I am a heel striker and these things just didn’t hold up as I would like. After about 200 miles, they were worn, and after 250 they were done!
Solid traction
The traction, however, is solid and I never slipped or lost footing surprising enough. It doesn’t seem like they would be effective, but they are.
The tread does lead to some small stones getting in there, but it doesn’t affect the run. You will have to scrape them out before each run which will take about 10 sec.
