Nike’s Lunaracer sole was one of the enduring images from the last year in which a Summer Olympiad was held, its pronounced waves and wide platform a visual can’t-miss that helped to spur LunarLite and its -Lon update to great success in the intervening years.

Combining a time-tested boot design with that unmistakable cushion, the Cole Haan LunarGrand Chukka is a look into the evolution of footwear, specifically how traditional styles are blending with modern technology with increasing frequency.
