Is the Luna sizing in women’s? Or is it now in men’s sizing as the default option?

Yo, could you imagine? 😂😂😂 I'd be getting size men 6s all the time or size 10s if the GX2 was men's sizing and the Luna2 was women's. It would have been a confusing nightmare!

The cyclone soleplate is probably Nike’s worst tooling ever. I’m so disappointed with this change. The GX1 is an instant classic and the Luna was a complete flop, why would Nike decided to continue with it?

And just like that all of Nike’s marketing spiel about the Luna being a women’s specific boot designed “for her” has been quickly swept under the rug 😂 So much for the cyclone plate being specifically designed & researched to accommodate the female anatomy and prevent common injuries in the women’s game… Now they’ve slapped it on the GX2, massively contradicted themselves & made a potentially worse boot also. Quite shameless from Nike in my opinion.

So i think im probaly gonna get one so i can feel more comfortoble, but remember if you want to do it better you have to get out of your comfortoble zone or die trying….

@unisport 5 ай бұрын

Actually they’re quite similar in that regard - both have a soft and slightly sluggish midfoot in my book. I find the Cyclone tooling to be a little more responsive in the forefoot than the GX 1, so that would be my pick if you’re after something that offers a quick snappy power transfer… but honestly they’re both quite soft and flexible so might want to look at other boots entirely if responsiveness is what you’re after.
