Why doesn't Nike go with something like Brooks Mogo or Asics SoLyte? Basically, just a better and lighter and more durable foam that can totally replaceall of the cmeva or phylon. Not just a small cutout like lunar. SoLyte and Mogo are supposed to be better than cmeva in every way - more durable, lighter,better and more consistent cushioning. I have heard it described as wonder bread (small uniform air bubbles in the foam), versus the french bread (larger,non-uniform bubbles) that is normal cmeva. I have run in a couple pairs of Asics that use SoLyte and I like it a lot. Too bad brooks doesn't makebasketball kicks, and too bad asics doesn't have basketball kicks generally available in the US. I wonder if patents are preventing Nike from pursuingthis.
