Nike’s Winter Lunar Landing

Nike-LunarTerra-Arktos-BootWinter doesn’t look close to over and whether heading to winding down any time soon, and regardless of your activity having the right boots will help you not only endure it but you might even enjoy it. The modular Nike LunarTerra Arktos delivers a wholly invincible approach to winter according to the company. It provides the lightweight comfort of a sneaker and the durable, insulated protection of a boot, and features dynamic Nike Flywire and Hyperfuse construction, which makes for an adaptive fit.

The Nike Vac Tech molding reduces seams and, therefore, potential leaks so your feet will stay warm and dry. The midsole features Nike Lunarlon technology, which minimizes weight and maximizes comfort and mobility, whereas the outsole is crafted from a zoned sticky and hard rubber that enhances stability and agility on varied terrain/

Since getting out of the boots could become necessary when heading indoors, these feature a nickel-plated zipper with an easy-to-grab leather pull guarantees effortless release while a removable bootie helps keep the foot warm and dry—and serves as a satellite slipper.
