The Nike Running Jungle Pack showcases a dense tropical theme featuring the equatorial flora and fauna.

The pack includes two Nike Running performance footwear styles for men and women: the Nike LunarTempo 2, and the Nike Free RN. Both pairs are covered in a tropical print that ends up giving the models a fun and modern motif that nicely represent the Floral Jungle theme.


The Nike LunarTempo 2 is a lightweight cushioned trainer designed to hug your feet. The LunarTempo 2s are built on top of squishy Lunarlon foam, and enclose your feet in Nike’s seamless Flymesh upper with Flywire Cables.

The Nike Free RN features Lunarlon cushioning with large hexagonal flex grooves for more natural motion with the soft comfort you need for longer runs. The lightweight Lunarlon cushioning system delivers miles of soft responsiveness. It fuses soft foam and a lightweight Phylon carrier to deliver an excellent blend of plush comfort and durable support to go the distance.


The Nike Running Jungle Pack is now available at selected retailers.
