New Jordan Shoes Coming Out-Nike Lunar Air 180

Two weeks ago, the Nike Lunar Air 180 “Ultramarine” released at multiple accounts overseas; yet, we will have our chance at snagging these this weekend. This sneaker will hit select retailers, including 21 Mercer, this Saturday, July 31st, 2010. The Nike Lunar Air 180 combines the silhouette of the iconic Air 180 with Nike’s latest performance technology. Lunar Foam is used in the forefoot, while Torch is incorporated into the upper. The timeless “Ultramarine” color scheme has been applied to this Lunar Air 180, giving it a legendary feel. As stated earlier, the Nike Lunar Air 180 “Ultramarine” will be available at 21 Mercer this Saturday.

The Nike Air 180 was defined by the Ultramarine color-up when it dropped way back in 1991. If you weren’t alive for the original release, you’ve been afforded a golden opportunity at the retooled retro release. The 180 received a good deal of retro-fitting to become the Nike Air Lunar 180. The OG sole was switched out for the ultra-lightweight lunar sole, and the upper received the tri-layered Nike Torch treatment. One thing the original didn’t lose was the ultra crispy Ultramarine accents which are still sported throughout. These are starting to hit retailers NOW, you can scoop them at hannon.

Like the Air BW Gen II was to the Air Classic BW, the Nike Lunar Air 180 is to the Nike Air 180 – a revamped, new-and-improved version of the classic original. The overall silhouette remains, giving the Lunar Air 180 its identity, but the entire infrastructure of the shoe has undergone a complete 180. The upper features a seamless structure with Torch on the upper while the front end of the midsole receives a Lunarlon treatment – although the original 180-Air Unit remains.
