Next up in Nike’s annual Shield collection is the revamped Nike LunarEpic Flyknit meticulously constructed for the changing seasons. This innovative runner gets a colorway inspired by the “mud-filled trails of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado,” DWR-coated TPU yarn, a mid-height collar for a cozy fit, as well as an internal bootie to keep your feet insulated from the elements. What’s more, the Swoosh equips the sneaker with a car tire-inspired outsole alongside a groove design for unparalleled traction.

Get a closer look at the Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Shield above and expect the model to drop November 3 at the brand’s official website.
