LunarLon has been injected into many Nike Skateboarding designs in order to find the best balance of cushioning and board feel, but what happens when you make an entire deck out of Lunar foam?! That’s a question being answered at the Nike Innovation Hunt in Japan’s capital city, where art inspired by Nike Flyknit and LunarLon technologies have been tucked away in the latest great sneaker scavenger hunt. This ‘Volt Collection’ showcase for the newest Nike tech also includes Flyknit Be@rbrick figurines, soccer balls and a fixed gear bike along with LunarLon sculptures including traffic cones, benches and (hilarious) dumbbells. Have a closer look after the jump, let us know which is your favorite piece and if you have any other ideas that you’d like to see manifested in this style.

The 2012 Olympic Athlete Introduction By Country is a nice geography lesson for those not well-versed in the where’s what of the world, but there are a few notable athletes participating in this year’s games who don’t quite fall under one nation. Four competing athletes will put forth their efforts under the Olympic Flag, as their home countries do not have Olympic National Committees. The four athletes are: Philipine van Aanholt (sailing), Lee-marvin Bonevacia, Reginald de Windt, and marathon runner Guor Marial. Marial’s story is rather interesting as he currently does not hold a passport from any country; he is a permanent resident of the United States (refugee status green card), but he is unable to compete for the States, South Sudan, or Sudan.
Nike Sportswear has created a special footwear and apparel capsule for this select group of athletes; it includes the Lunar Flyknit Trainer made with the five Olympic colors, as well an M-65 Jacket and a scarf (the scarf was made specifically for the athletes from Netherlands Antilles). You can see these four special athletes wear the Flyknit as well as a complete collection of Nike Sportswear apparel during the ceremonies and events throughout the Games, but continue on for a nice shot of the Flyknit model below.

Nike can’t stress enough how much it emphasizes performance and innovation as the driving force behind the brand’s future outlook. It continues to be the ‘first’ at a number of sports apparel advancements and engineering, with two of the more praised findings being Nike Lunar and Nike Flyknit. The Flyknit Trainer first introduced the combo of Flyknit and Lunar, but this Spring 2013, it appears another similar model will become available – perhaps the first of several ‘Lunar Flyknit’ models. Dubbed the Nike Lunar One+, this new Spring 2013 model features the Flyknit Trainer upper with the dual-layer LunarLon outsole that you will find on the all-new LunarGlide+ 4. A nice variety of colorways is previewed just ahead, so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates on this Spring 2013 Flyknit capsule. Photos: aaronknows

Nike’s all-new Flyknit technology touches on its earliest running heritage of “lightweight” in a state-of-the-art ‘Knit’ upper that appeals to the “Woven” cult crowd, extending the ‘Flywire’ concept of 2008 and building the upper in one solid yet outstandingly breathable and lightweight upper. The Flyknit carpet was rolled out this past February and again in April with the limited-edition HTM capsules, but with more Flyknit releases on the way (confirmed by Nike to beginning hitting this season), all can enjoy the new Flyknit craze – particularly with these upcoming Flyknit Racer colorways. A mix of muted tones like tonal black and black/grey/white will be available, as will some juicier ones like the neon green/blue and bright orange. A nice viewing is just ahead, so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more Nike Flyknit release information and updates. via sneakerfreaker

If you can’t quite grasp the heightening of the senses when a product of this magnitude is served up to you on a perfectly formed plate, just try to imagine what it’d feel like if all the Food Network Iron Chefs served you breakfast in bed. In late February, an event of similar greatness went down at 21 Mercer, as Mark Parker and Hiroshi Fujiwara presented the all-new Nike Flyknit to a select group of invitees. The Nike HTM Flyknit Racer and Nike HTM Flyknit Trainer grabbed the attention of progressively-minded fashion buffs and sneakerheads, and the uber-limited units sold out immediately to an eager crowd that was ready to explore the all-new Flyknit technology.
Nike just unveiled the second installment of the Nike HTM Flyknit Collection; once again, it features a trio of Flyknit models (the Flyknit Racer and two Flyknit Trainers) – the Racer in a blazing hot Total Orange and the two Trainers mixed with White/Black and Grey/Volt. These were available yesterday, April 17th, in Milan at Nike Stadium Milano, but additional releases will go down at select spots on April 22nd (21 Mercer in NYC, 1948 in London, Nike Harajuku in Tokyo, and Dover Street Market in Ginza). Continue reading for a detailed look at the HTM x Nike Flyknit Second Collection below and stay tuned as we will give you a inside look at the Launch Event that went down at Corso Como in Milan.
