Nike Flyknit Lunar1+

Second skin fit and ultra-soft Lunarlon combine in Nike Flyknit Lunar1+

Performance technology is engineered to give runners the perfect run - every stitch, every stride.

Runners lacing up in preparation for the spring race season won’t make sacrifices. They need a shoe that fits perfectly to take on the miles, has enough structure to feel supportive, offers cushioning for amazing comfort – and sports some style on top of it all. With this inspiration, the lightweight Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ brings the virtually seamless upper using Nike Flyknit technology together with the plush, responsive cushioning of Lunarlon.

Since its launch in February 2012, Nike Flyknit technology has redefined the development and creation of footwear with its ability to be engineered to provide a more precise fit for the specific needs of the foot.

Support and structure are knitted right into the Nike Flyknit upper, which helps reduce seams, weight and areas of friction and keeps the shoe lightweight. This spring the Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ provides support, flexibility and breathability with a more cushioned midsole – a great solution for everyday runners.

The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ combines Nike Flyknit with plush, responsive Lunarlon. The resilient foam provides ultra-soft cushioning, and springy response and support.

The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ has a neutral platform that benefits a wide array of runners looking for a responsive and well-cushioned shoe. Strategically placed durable rubber inserts in the outsole deliver maximum impact protection in key areas on the heel and forefoot.

The upper incorporates dynamic Nike Flywire, adaptive support that tightens and relaxes to accommodate the natural motion of the foot.

Nike Flyknit construction also eliminates the need for the multiple materials and material cuts used in the uppers of traditional sport footwear manufacturing. This revolutionary construction reduces waste by an average of 80 percent in the Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ when compared to typical Nike running footwear.

  

Nike Flyknit was created for performance in world-class marathon events, and many elite runners have crossed the finish line in the Nike Flyknit Racer, part of the first Nike Flyknit collection.

Here is a video where Rob Williams explains some of the technology used in the Flyknit One+ and some of the inspiration that went behind it.

The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ expands the franchise to the everyday runner, offering a bright color palette to make sure runners look as great as they feel on the road.

The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ will be available beginning in February and will retail for RM529 and will only be available at the following Nike stores:

· Nike Store, Mid Valley Mega Mall, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
· Nike Store, Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
· Nike Store, Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
· Nike Store, The Curve, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
· Nike Store, Sunway Pyramid, Petaling Jaya, Selangor Malaysia

Puma EvoSpeed 1 FG

PUMA INTRODUCES NEW EVOSPEED BOOT COLOURWAY

New Green and Blue Boot Will Be Worn by PUMA’s Top Speed Assets

  

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, JANUARY 21 2013 – PUMA^® today introduces the latest colourway of the evoSPEED 1 FG, the most recent performance football boot from the highly successful SPEED silo. Still one of the lightest football boots in the market, the new green and blue colourway of the evoSPEED 1 FG will be worn from now on by PUMA’s top football SPEED players. 

The new green and blue evoSPEED 1 FG is designed to help players achieve top speed and enhance their manoeuvrability, and together with Manchester City’s players Sergio Agüero and Gaël Clichy, Atletico Madrid’s top star Radamel Falcao and Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, many top footballers around the world is now wearing the new colourway.

A player such as Agüero has always been a Speed Junkie. Quick mind, lightning fast feet and the ability to beat defenders into the space – speed is in his blood. It is his nature to be first to every 50/50 ball and leave the opposition in the dust, the new lightweight and responsive evoSPEED is the boot for him. Football fans in Malaysia may also now discover their nature of performance through Puma Malaysia Facebook fanpage:

https://www.facebook.com/PumaFootball/app_243317022462410

Equipped with speedCELL™, the boot’s mono-layer microfiber upper reduces weight and increases flexibility while the EverFit cage provides an especially snug midfoot fit. The Pebax outsole combines bladed and conical studs for heel stability as well as total freedom during forefoot rotation. For an improved ball grip in wet conditions, the upper features a super thin 3D film.

Falcao, one of the hottest and most talked about players in the world, commented, “I really like all the different colour variations that PUMA offer me, because I really enjoy difference and like when boots stick out on the pitch. I have been playing in the evoSPEED since May 2012 and I feel extremely confident wearing them. The boot is perfectly suitable to go up to speed quickly, which I really appreciate. And the combination with some different colours makes the boot stand out from others in the market”.

Behind this new evoSPEED 1 FG stands a full green and blue coloured collection that answers every athlete’s need for speed by taking performance technologies and innovations and incorporating them in footwear, apparel and accessories. The full collection includes more footwear for indoor and outdoor, shirts, shorts, jackets, goalkeeper gloves, balls and many other products.

The new evoSPEED products in the green and blue colourway are now on pitch and are now available in selected AL-ikhsan, Mizi and Sports Direct.
