Most of the models that’ve received vulc sole/LunarLon footbed updates had previously utilized Zoom Air in a cupsole, but the Nike SB P-Rod 5 (notice the absence of ‘SB’ branding on the tongue and heel) became the first to switch from Lunar to Lunar when its LR’d version dropped a short while back. It’s a fitting array of tech for a silhouette whose series was the first to switch from cup to autoclaved soles back on the P-Rod 2.5, and even this new Swan and Action Red colorway can be seen as a follow-up to the white/black/Sport Red P-Rod IVs (not to mention the connection to an upcoming ‘Cinco de Mayo’ Mid). In short, this is a model with plenty of ties to the past but with the advantages of cutting edge technology, and they’ll be available at US retailers soon, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.
