Strangely enough, I ran across the new Nike Lunar Glide 6 on a run in Orlando Florida. While taking timeout from a business trip to get a few miles in, I found myself at a Nike Store and ventured inside. Almost immediately I spotted the new Lunar Glides. Although I didn\u2019t make my purchase right then and there, I was impressed enough to pick up a pair a few days later at my local Bay Area retailer. Unfortunately, my West Coast connection didn\u2019t have the wild color schemes featured in the Nike-owned outlet and I settled for your basic black. <\/p>\n
The Lunar Glide 6 represents Nike\u2019s latest stability shoe. It provides support for mild overpronators thanks to a dual-density midsole. On the medial (arch) side of the foot, the company uses a firmer foam. It was the darkest gray on our test shoe and did a decent job controlling motion. It also contributed to the less-than-plush ride of the Lunar Glide. The shoe felt fairly stiff when compared to some of the other Nike offerings in our current closet including Zoom Elites and Vomeros. <\/p>\n
