Over the course of three days, Nike unveiled the lunar glide dynamic fit footwear technology and thermo-regulated apparel line to the region's most influential running, design, music and women's media. For the media to endorse the new technologies, they needed to understand the innovation breakthroughs and experience the products first-hand.
