Nike Lunar Control Vapor

[Forrestx]

None that's unbiased except I REALLY like the LCV sole/grip

 

Lol

 

No opinion is unbiased ;)

 

I tried them both the other day and the FJ felt more solid...the LCV really felt like a sneaker with a little bit more flex...almost too comfy lol...

 

Of the grass, so on solid ground, the LCV felt weird....not wrong, but different where the FJ felt more like a normal shoe.

 

Btw, I come from Ecco Biom Hybrid 2....

I've been wearing Nike shoes since middle school. It seemed to be the only brand of shoe that fit my foot the best. I have a wide toe box but narrow arch/heel/ankle area in a size 13. Most of my shoes can't get any tighter in the lace system simply because I'm that narrow around that potion of my foot. Dang 1st world problems.

[swizbeatz]

Serious in doubt between these Nike Lunar Control Vapors or the FJ Pro/SL....

 

Any sugestions? (Unbiased ;) )

 

Love the pro SL

[DDR]

I am biased of course but the LCV is one of the most comfortable golf shoes I have ever worn. After playing 18 when I take them off it doesn't even feel like I was wearing golf shoes.

[MaitriMike]

I've had the dryjoy casuals and the dnas 1.0 and 1.5. Never tried on the Pro SL. Are they that much of an improvement? I'll tell you the LCV are more comfortable than DNA or dryjoy casuals. I also have the Ecco boom hybrids (originals) and the LCV is just slightly not as comfy as the biom hybrids. The biom hybrids are amazing but I feel are so clunky and only look nice when wearing short. I can't wear them with modern fit pants / slim golf pants.

Just pulled the triggr and bought a pair of LCV all blacks....

 

Taking them out tomorow morning

[Flagrant]

Anyone feel like these dont wear well? I have about 18 rounds on them walking and they look beat, and yes i clean them after every round.

Only played 11 rounds this season so far and not every round was with the LCV so can't really compare at the moment. Are you talking about wear on the crease marks when walking or the sole wear?

Actually i dont have creases, the sole's are worn down not terrible but a good amount.Which doesnt bother me. Mostly the tongue and ankle areas as well as the "the mesh" part around the fore foot just look thrashed. The mid sole has a few deep marks.

I did use jason mark repel and clean them with the jason mark cleaner after every round, they just dont come clean.

Im also sure it doesnt help when the courses spray whatever green chemical they use to help grow the grass.

[MaitriMike]

I'm assuming you have the all white one huh? Darn that stinks. I remember when i first wore the whites, i got the top section with some mud on it, its kind of like a sponge / clothe section. Could never get it totally white again after that. I also only used hot water and a brush. Never did use any chemical. Occasionally would use those sponges that whiten stuff, forgot what they were called. Haven't on these yet. I have the white, the grey, and the green pairs. I think white itself just won't look nice after usage.

Yup all whites, The magic eraser is the white sponge lol

love the performance of the shoe

So who's going to explain this? Rest of the representative images are spot on save for this ol colorway.

I would say it's a picture off a sample model. I work for a golf website and are responsible for up loading the products and sometimes the pictures of items are not the same as the finished product. Had one example last year forget the shirt that had a blade collar and the pictures Nike gave us had a normal collar on. According to our Nike rep they don't reshoot them.

[BlackM00Nlight]

Alright! Looks like a finished model and not computer sketch. But still thinking it's a mistake and not a future style/release.

[ruffellprefley]

lol. those look horrible

[DDR]

I'm pretty sure something like that showed up quite some time ago with some different colorways and were never seen in person. Looks like pics of an early low detail prototype or something.

Am I crazy? Weren't the Cargo Khako LCV's on clearance a few weeks back?

 

Seem to be back to normal price now.

[MaitriMike]

You might be thinking the AM90's.

Only zoom 90 and the zoom gimmie in that little desert pack that was on sale.

I haven't walked a full 18 in the LCV's yet and did today. Walked Bethpage Red. My feet felt great after the round. No blisters nor pain or fatigue. Traction was great. I love these shoes. :)

[snagy2000]

Not sure if Nike can top these shoes with their AIT. I wish they would roll out more styles with this traction. Played in a 30 minute downpour today and I was the only one in my group who did not slip. Lovely shoes for all weather conditions.

course must have drained great for 30 min downpour and you were able to play afterwards. Not so lucky for us New Yorkers.

Hard clay based fairways in Texas drain really quick. These shoes make walking 18 in these conditions easy to do.

I finally got to wear my LCV white/metallic that I picked up from GP about a month ago. Weather here in GA has been pretty wet as of lately, doesn't help that I get the 1st or 2nd tee in the morning so its always pretty damp out. Tee'd off at 11:00 on a beautiful Saturday morning. Course was nice and dry so i brought the LCV's out for the first time. What a great golf shoe. They were very comfortable and provided plenty of traction. Even shot my best round in a few years, 37/38. I would definitely recommend a pair if you're looking for a good quality spike-less shoe.

I feel like it will take another season before most people will accept the new style of sole. The new Lunar Bandon that is coming out later this year will have the same sole.

I'll be fine if most of future Nike golf shoes have the same sole as the vapors.

 

 

[ruffellprefley]

anyone find the sole too flexible? i'm assuming that the elites and the lcv have the exact same plate and not just same molded spikes. anyway i wore my elites for the first time at the range and it felt like my right toes wanted to cramp up

[BlackM00Nlight]

Budget Golf - with code "BBQ" I got the black and the white wide LCV's at $160 a piece and saved $25 per pair with the code on top. $135 per pair and free shipping.

I'm looking to grab the flyknit elites in grey or the lunar control vapor in grey. I know the LCV get a lot of love but I'm curious on how they would compare to each other. Also I'm still not sure how the elites will look with shorts on.

I think he LCV is more versatile whether wearing shorts or pants. Also has more water protection than the flyknit elites. With that said, the sole is the same. The LCV is definitely stiffer since it has more support on the upper region.
