While running shoes were once primarily used for jogging, roadwork, and pounding the pavement, this type of chunky-soled footwear has increasingly been adopted by the fashion and streetwear scenes, leading to a handful of shoes that are engineered for running, while also sporting modern fashion-forward designs. One obvious example of this type of shoe is Nike’s new Lunar Roam Premium.

The Lunar Roam Premium is a thoroughly modern piece of footwear that utilizes a host of advanced materials and technologies. The shoe is constructed around a set of breathable, thermoregulating knitted fabric uppers that come paired with cushiony, supportive foam midsoles. Equipped with a heel pull tab and printed branding, the uppers also sport various reflective details that help their wearer more easily be seen in inclement weather. The entire thing is stacked atop a set of super grippy — and super chunky — rubber outsoles that are incredibly responsive while still affording solid protection.

The Lunar Roam Premium also feature an advanced fitment system that sees a low-profile lacing setup supplemented via Nike’s proprietary Magwire cable system which laterally wraps around the outside of the shoe. This not only bolsters fitment, but it also makes for a much more supportive piece of footwear. And, while all these elements add up to a state-of-the-art running shoe, they also make for an immensely fashion-forward piece of footwear that’s practically guaranteed to resonate with any contemporary fashionistas or streetwear connoisseurs.

Available now, the Nike Lunar Roam Premium has beeb priced at $165.
