Nike Lunar Roam "Alabaster": Review & On-Feet

[@chaechaerro]

These are growing on me, like the colors and the kinda retro look. As someone who got into sneakers right after the whole flyknit/lunar trend, will be interesting to see if the fashion cycle loops around and they become trendy again.

[@alexnash2562]

It’s the best shoe Nike made all year

[@Sgtgee]

Little cool story gem, these derive from the original lunar racer from 2009 which was designed by Tinker Hatfield the designer of Air Jordans 3-14. I wore these for races and marathons back then way before the super carbon plated shoes nowadays. It’s cool to see these resurface back in the market now as a lifestyle shoe.

[@sydneymav]

dope

[@mikkol79]

I wore the LunarGlide+ (1st version) for five marathons(including most training runs too) if I remember correct, each being a record run for me. I didn't mind the midsole giving out. It had just perfectly conformed to the bottom of my feet. Don't recommend using running shoes for that long though.

[@0ddsby]

Shifting my collection to every day sneakers and this is perfect. Really missed out on these on the drop

[@rozcokicks]

It’s been a month and couples days since I’ve got these, been wearing them almost everyday. I thought the same thing about the Lunarlon being stiff but I promise, they’ll get so much more comfortable with wear. They’re now more plush but still stable. I can’t wait for future pairs.

[@ratburn2000]

your sneakers photography is A1 Sean

[@SeanGo]

thx 🙏🤝

[@mikes41720]

Ahhh, you reminded me of this pair. I thought I didn’t want it anymore. Now I want it again.

[@SeanGo]

do it!

[@geraldocruz868]

You always have GREAT reviews!! Something that deserves more credit is your background music choices! You always have music that sounds 🔥🔥🔥 and fits the overall video.

[@zanemontego8090]

A much needed review 👍🏿

[@nas0181]

One of my favorite drops from last year. Great every day sneaker.

[@cristianmartinez4986]

😮 OMG is still have those Nike with colors of Volt & Pink. 1:16

[@koozerone681]

as always sean go is the best sneaker reviewer way to go bud🙌🏼

[@SeanGo]

🙌🙏✌️

[@Rimkus23]

Fall in love with these first time I saw them. I rock them and first thing I noticed is the lightness. They remind me the feeling on feet I used to have with the old lunar racer and flyknit… but those are more solid compare to the old ones who were so slim, kind of an « summer shoe only ». The colorway is perfect, kind of a Yeezy wave runner feel here. Love them. Great review as usual ❤

[@egrose]

Glad u reviewed these. Didn’t realize they’re perceived as not in style. Then again I’m relatively new and not into chunky shoes. I’m one of the few that likes the colorway 😂

[@kevincollins8620]

Eddie Win loves these. He has great style. He did a review for these. Check it out

[@rikimanuel4574]

sean looks like a masc lez! love your reviews

[@VinG1213]

In the 2010’s era I never gave them a chance because I was into adidas and other running shoes for that is what I primarily used sneakers for at that time. But when the flyknit racers debuted I was all in. I still have a worn pair that I was able to cop while visiting in Vietnam by one of my wife’s family friends that worked in one of Nike’s factories. I might just give these a try if they go on sale.

[@zanemontego8090]

I got these last week. Thanks for recommending a size down, it’s a Cinderella fit. 😆👍🏿 It’s nice to finally get a unpopular Nike silhouette with colors I really appreciate. Well done release IMO.

[@son7459]

This colorway would look so good on the Vomero 5! Looking from a distance, this pair does remind me of the Vomeros actually, especially the lateral side panels

[@cmoodie]

Never seen this silhouette before, but I'm digging the colors. Appreciate the review!

[@deez__sneaks1]

I may have to go for these. My feet miss the lunar foam 😊

[@jennifer.santos.]

I’m a fan 🌙💡🙌 I got the first one, Alabaster and just got the Wolf Grey today! Love those two colors so far and they’re comfy and lightweight ☁️

[@GreekSneakCollector]

Oh memories!! Very interesting concept, especially the aged looking materials!

[@whaiyun]

I was curious to try them but the $190 price tag put me off. Glad I can just live vicariously through you Sean!

[@SeanGo]

😅😅🤝

[@louistrece]

copped on goat and they came from Taiwan, love the look and feels like a nice throwback, very slept on model!

[@Turk_2023]

These are cool

[@benwakeman]

Love them. Glad I didn’t wait around too long!

[@malcolmhilariion2877]

They put the zoom fly sp liner on these so I’m even more sold cuz that was cozy as hell and I already like the look of these

[@mariolopez3068]

I really love them and got a pair before the release day . Yea they run slightly roomy on the toe box like you mentioned on your review but I’m ok with that . Definitely one favorite lasts pickups of 2023 .

[@star42]

Man if Nike bring back the FK Racer and Trainer! I have a pair of deadstock Flyknit trainer and I really would like to have a few pairs as back-ups. They were the Pinnacle of casual footwear.

[@412JFury]

I still have a pair of (Flyknit Chukka) sitting on my shoe shelf in good condition.I love that era!

[@kinderwaff]

Was waiting for this one ^^

[@RalphUrmel]

I still hunt the secondary market for Lunar Chukkas. Still love the look and comfort. I basically default to them when travelling. Just destroyed a wonderful 2014 pair on holiday in Thailand.😊

[@elbee909]

Makes me miss my old superhero themed Lunar Force Ones

[@BertoBeats]

These are dope, interesting first colorway but it really works

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Definitely digging those Sean.

[@mikkol79]

I have a wide foot and wear the exact same sizes as you. The 9.5 was just too narrow on the arch.

[@joshuamarcano350]

Got these bad boys on ice 🧊

[@bloggabloggablog]

I got a pair when they dropped and I loved the tooling but hated the upper. Hopefully Nike drops a couple more silhouettes in this line.

[@SeanGo]

🤞

[@YudiTera]

These shoes ain't bad. As a matter affect it's one of the better shoes that came out in the past few months. I don't have them but I'm kinda hoping I can find them in the outlet. 💖

[@SeanGo]

good luck!

[@MacLeodTheFuzz]

actually sizing makes sense, as these are really designed for running efficiency, not for lifestyle! gonna get one pair for each 😂

[@ferryprive]

Love'm! Something different. Bought directly. For running i prefere the Pegasus, for for a noce day 2 day sneaker. I love'm. I have a sort of 'click' in my right shoe of the material around the swoosh, doe not realy bother me, but it's a little bit annoying. Love the look on feet!

[@nghiale-bv8gn]

Will u cop the Platinum Tint and Desert Moss color way next?

[@Magicstockton]

Adidas had their binoculars over in Nike offices and said bet. Drop boost.

[@samlee458]

nice! i still have my flynit lunar 1 😅

[@SeanGo]

classics!

[@javierlandaverde4108]

Half a size down is the way to go for these. Appreciate the tips. Would be a disaster getting these with the wrong sizing.

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@marioruiz723]

It aint reviewed until @seango gets em on feet 🙌🏼 can't wait to get my pair in

[@OldeDeus]

I know this is a bit out there but do you know how the foam feels compared to something like a modern 860?

[@benweide6355]

Are those a bit water repellent or completely with mesh?

[@johnguinto4386]

Now they just need to bring back the Flyknit Chukkas

[@SuperWhofan1]

The Tim Cook shoe

[@ajaxxx16]

How would you compare the comfort to these compared to the Vomeros

[@SeanGo]

more stiff but bouncy

[@eb-go3xl]

Do they fit better than vomeros?

[@SeanGo]

@@eb-go3xl define better

[@javierlandaverde4108]

Absolutely mental but cool how running shoes are becoming the hype beast trend. These look awesome but they’re meant for running. This model looks like a sprinter shoe so it will feel stable, a little stiff and bouncy. These won’t feel plush or comfortable on for 8-12 hours being worn though. This color way goes hard. 🔥

[@richardfranco9064]

Hey Sean, I’m a size 8.5 in am1 and am97 but size 9 in am95. What size should I get in these?

[@SeanGo]

8 or 8.5 depending on if you ever have to size down to an 8 (in air force 1s or new balance miusa as examples)

[@richardfranco9064]

@@SeanGo I’m a size 8.5 in NB 990 v2, v3, v6 with a little room in front. Size 8.5 in af1

[@richardfranco9064]

I’ve never sized down to an 8 before. What size would you recommend knowing my sizing with the shoes given

[@richardfranco9064]

@SeanGo your help would be greatly appreciated

[@kaneda4102]

…and the official colorway for the shoe is nicotine yellow

[@LeezyLazy]

this is a very cool model. nike releases been boring the past two years.

[@jcolt84]

This dude belongs head NPR radio, not talking about shoes that he sounds completely uninspired by. Well, he can be as uninspired as he wants, as long as he doesn't expect to be inspiring in the process.

[@SeanGo]

🤣

[@kevincollins8620]

First Eddie Win... now you. Yall can stop with these. (Jokes)
