Nike Challenges the Elements with the Lunar Bandon Footwear
Published: Last updated:
You’re having your round of the year when the heavens open; the last thing that you want to distract you is wet feet.
But worry no more, Nike’s new Lunar Bandon shoes not only take care of a little drizzle, they also laugh in the face of fairway puddles and muddy, waterlogged paths.
The Lunar Bandon’s have been designed for serious golfers who play in the winter and in all conditions. Uniquely crafted to take on harsh weather, the Nike Lunar Bandon is flexible, lightweight and comfortable- keeping feet warm and dry for athletic competition in any condition.
The new Lunar Bandon takes the original groundbreaking Bandon to a new level of performance. Nike recognised that no traditional low-profile golf shoe could be truly waterproof as water can enter over the collar.
Nike Golf’s Footwear Product Director stated, “You have outerwear, all-weather gloves, and covers for your golf bag. We wanted to complement that with a shoe that works with the rest of your gear to protect while it performs.”
A booty tongue construction catches any water that could breach the upper when putting on the shoes, keeping feet as dry as possible. Speed lacing with an easy-to-utilise toggle simplifies the fastening process and a notched-out heal maximises comfort for walking and bending to read putts.
A bright, asymmetrical zipper across the top of the shoe provides a waterproof shield without adding pressure to the foot. Integrated Traction on the outsole is engineered to help eliminate clogging and increase ground contact. This level of traction keeps a lower profile, providing golfers with more stability. Lunarlon cushioning in the heel helps provide lightweight comfort and increased ground-feel.
Nike Golf strives to meet the needs of the athlete, helping them adapt to any situation. Walker expressed, “In some climates, if you waited for fair weather days, you wouldn’t have many options to get out and play. In the Lunar Bandon, golfers have a shoe that allows them to practice and play in any condition.”
