NIKELAB ACG LUNARTERRA ARKTOS
The NikeLab ACG LunarTerra Arktos updates from the original Nike LunarTerra Arktos boot, which released in October 2013. Like its predecessor, it combines the comfort of a sneaker with the insulation and weather protection of a winter boot. In an effort to make the boot lighter, Nike designers removed the internal bootie, a staple of the first version. This helps the athlete quickly navigate city streets. The outsole employs sticky rubber for improved traction. A new water-repellant (DWR) mesh in the upper aids flexibility and, combined with a leather vamp and heel, helps boots stay dry in damp conditions. Non-wicking laces work to prevent water absorption, and Nike dynamic Flywire loosens and tightens with movement for an adaptive fit. The thermal lining has grooves that work to store hot air, providing blanket-like warmth inside the boot. The Lunarlon midsole provides lightweight and plush cushioning.
The NikeLab ACG LunarTerra Arktos will be available exclusively in North America until Jan. 15, when it will expand its reach to Western Europe and Japan.
