Nike : Lunarlon

The Lunarlon is a revolution in cushioning developed by Nike, a foam in the sole that is on average 30% lighter than most of the brand's previous cushioning. This technology was first applied to running shoes, before later being integrated into a basketball shoe, the Nike Hyperdunk 2012.

This technology was inspired by the way astronauts bounce off the surface of the moon, so the idea was to recreate this cushioning in a shoe. The Lunarlon's foam disperses over the entire impact zone as you step on it, as if you were walking on a cushion. This protects the entire foot, enhancing stability and improving player performance. The Lunarlon is the perfect complement for any basketball player looking for the perfect cushioning and court feel in his or her basketball shoe.

The Swoosh brand's technology can be found in several models, including the Kobe Mentality 2 , the Kobe 11 and 10 and the Jordan Rising High.
