After we got a look at the Huarache Light in a new Lunar edition, you just knew it was only a matter of time until the granddaddy of all Huaraches got the treatment. And here it is — the Nike Lunar Huarache Run.
Or call it Air Huarache Lunar if you will, but the fact remains: the beloved Air Huarache running shoe has gotten a Lunarlon infusion. For its part, the upper remains almost entirely faithful to the original, from the leather exoskeleton to the rubberized heel-counter and neoprene inner-bootie. The toe sports a non-traditional mesh, sure, but standard Air Huaraches were employing that same mesh as recently as 2014, so it’s not exactly a huge departure.
And then there’s that midsole, of course: full-length Lunarlon from heel to toe, delivering plush cushioning and an updated look that’s . . . welcome on the Huarache? Unnecessary and overreaching?
Let us know, and stay tuned for news on whether or not the Nike Lunar Huarache Run will ever see the light of (retail) day.
