I've trained in the Nike Skylon for years, and I finally cannot find a new pair. Which is a better replacement: the Luna Fly or the Luna Elite?
Thanks for your help.

I have worn all 3. I,too, liked the Skylon. I tried the Lunar Glide last fall. Liked it but felt it was just a tad too soft for me. Next i wore the Lunar Elite. This was a great shoe for me. I thought it was a lot like the Skylon. This spring I have been in the Lunar Fly. I think this shoe is the middle in terms of softness - or firmness if you will - of the 3 shoes. I doubt I would go back to the L-Glide but the L-Elite and L-Fly are fine for me. As a final note, I hadn't worn NIKES in 15 years until I wore the Skylon. The new LunarLine seems to be a good thing.
I think the Lunar Fly is one of the best shoes I have ever put on my feet and I have been running since 1968. A no frills winner.
Thanks for the advice.
Are the Lunar Elites still considered a stability shoe like the old Zoom Elites? I ask because I wore a pair of Zoom Elites years ago, and the medial post gave me some bad IT problems.
How about the Lunar Swifts? Similar to the Skylon?
I've given you all I can but hope some others will give input. Good luck with your search.

Lunar Elites offer moderate stability via an internal midsole ramping system called Dynamic Support. It's the same systems found in Lunar Glide and Lunar Fly. As a former Zoom Elite runner, I've found Lunar Elites to be a bit easier on the body without any loss in responsiveness.
Good Luck.
