She moves in mysterious ways - Nike Lunar Racer 2010?


Nearly everything is said about this years NYC race. meb won and is a true american, brilliant race overall again, strong overall american mens finish, "dark horse" kwambai had to drop out, 43.000 finishers and so on... But one main question was unanswered for us at mzungo.org:

"what type of fxxxxxx nike modell were paula, kwambai eg. running?"

the discussion went from a new lunar racer type to the lunar mariah with a streak sole and then to a lunar streak. the TV pictures weren´t clear enough and the lads were too fast on race day.

unfortunately the discussion has an end today. letsrun.com reports the following statement and all at mzungo.org can sleep well until that modell will hit the stores nationwide...

The Lunaracer 2 is coming out in January, and I've already seen folks racing in
them locally here in Austin. Also keep in mind that since the Marathoner is
being discontinued, and it's being replaced by the Zoom Streak 3, not to be
confused with the Zoom Streak XC 2 that Ritz wore in his recent half marathon.

At New York, most of the Nike Elite guys were wearing the new Streak
3--Abdi, Kwambai, Cheruiyot , etc. The Streak 3 is going to be lighter, with
better cushion and more flexible than the Marathoner. I've heard a lot of people
complain that the Marathoner was too stiff, too hard, and too heavy. But some
people obviously liked 'em, including Lel.
