Each Lunaracer+ shoe may weigh just 250g (around 100g less than standard trainers), but that's the only airy thing about it. The Lunarfoam sole (an adaptation of material developed by NASA) is highly responsive, and the shoe is held together by ultra-light supportive fibres.

The ST3 Racer is heavier than some race shoes but provides extra support. It also offers extensive motion control, making it a good choice for over-pronators, and is responsive, comfortable and durable enough to handle any distance.

The full-foot Hex Ride technology and EVA midsole provide cushioning and extra spring. It has smooth heel-to-toe transition and stability thanks to a featherweight TPU shank in the midsole, and the high-abrasion rubber outsole makes it durable for a race shoe.

The breathable full-mesh upper and fast-draining midsole and outsole have made the A2 popular with triathletes. But it’s an awesome shoe for more conventional running races too – largely thanks to its lightweight cushioning, responsiveness and grip. The fiery styling ain’t too shabby either.
