Default White/Gold Vapors Lunarlite or Lunarlon?

Just curious to know which way these came thru. As Lunarlite Vapor Tour or Lunarlon Vapor Tour. Thanks!

If you mean the most recent ones, Nike call's them "Nike Lunar Vapor Tour Men's Tennis Shoe".

What I mean is do they/are they made with what Nike calls Lunarlite (the old name) or Lunarlon (the new name)?

I don't think he's blind. I believe the question is due to a reportedly change in sizing between the newer (lunarlon) and older (lunarlite) vapors. If you are between sizes on these shoes, a sizing change could make the difference between a 10 and a 10.5 per se...

Now there is someone with eyes wide open. It is my contention that Nike changed the sizing of both these and the Breathe 2K10's when they switched (whether it is same stuff is of no interest to me) from one to the other. I've had the newer 2K10's and there is a difference (larger) and have tried on the newer Vapors (though not the white/gold ones) and they seem to be much narrower than the originals that were issued at the first of the year and were way too wide for me. Hence, my question in the first place.

Here is one reason it's confusing: 3 different versions

ARE YOU BLIND? He is clearly NOT asking the question you answered.

you're right, hes clearly not asking any definitive question and shooting down the first person who tries to answer his wild goose chase of a question with no direction.

either way i didnt answer any question. nice observation though.

im not sure how you can say the question was not answered when the first response is a picture of whether the shoe has lunarlon/lunarlite.
