This Nike Oldie Is a Fashion Goodie 50-Plus Years Later
Nike's Moon Shoe is truly an oldie but a goodie. Seriously, 50-plus years later, and the original model still looks very good, if not better than ever.
The Moon Shoe may have been born and raised on the tracks (with a little help from a real-live waffle maker). Now? It's fashion.
It already got a Jacquemus spin. Now, Nike's preparing the model for an even bigger comeback, featuring several stylish general-release options for even more sneakerheads to enjoy.
Amongst the lineup, Nike has a "Midnight Navy" Moon Shoe which almost resembles one of the model's debut colorways. The uppers feature smooth nylon and suede layers, doused in a rich navy blue. Nike then stitches a large cream-white Swoosh on top of it all, with the logo taking up a good portion of the sidewall.
And of course, the Moon Shoe isn't a Moon Shoe without the Waffle outsoles. That's how it makes the "craters" in the ground.
The "Midnight Navy" Moon Shoe is set to release soon overseas, alongside white and butter yellow colorways. Expect the sneakers to retail for anywhere between $110 and $120.
They'll also be landing stateside through Nike's website on May 7.
