Lunarlon vs Ultracush vs Adiprene

[Firebert]

I like the FP kingfoam orthotics a little bit better than the gamechangers - they're a little softer, $10 cheaper ($35) and they mold using your body heat instead of the oven.

Nike Zoom Air is superior. Air in the heel so you can slam but good boardfeel upfront.

I usually don't rock with Tracer, but he has a point. Does anyone remember the Nike SB E-Cue model? The entire bottom of the insole was a giant one-piece Zoom Air unit. I bet if you combined that with the Lunarlon midsole that they used in the Project BA Nikes, you'd have the world's most shock absorbent skate shoe.

For the record, I think Nike really messed up with discontinuing the Lunar Gato and the Project BA. I think they cut their own throats by making the MSRP as high as they did, and I bet they would have raked in cash for the company had they had an asking price that was $25 cheaper...

Had three pairs and still have a pair box fresh. They were so good and I'm not usually a Nike guy SB or otherwise

I'm right there with you.

Well fuck me you went all in. I do not understand why they stopped making these.

King foams are no good if you have fallen arches like I do. Gamechangers are more supportive.

My favorite Zoom Air moment in history was when SKATAN tried to nuke his new Nikes in the microwave and the insole's air pocket bursted like a bubble.

What size do you wear? I'll keep my eyes open for them if I come across something worthwhile
