Nike Sportswear made a strong push to resurrect the mid-’80s V-Series running trio last spring, issuing retro and new colorways of all three designs along with LunarLon updates for the Venture and Vengeance (x2!). And as luck would have it, the style that’s proved most enduring from this bringback had yet to get its Lunar foam treatment before the new Nike Vortex Vintage Lunar popped up today.
