Nike Moon Shoe: the complete guide to choosing your pair

Nike Moon Shoe: Bill Bowerman's racing shoe from 1972

In 1972, Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman hand-built around a dozen pairs of Moon Shoes for the US Olympic Trials in track and field. Their sole, cast in a waffle iron, left crater-like prints on the track, hence the lunar name. Never sold at the time, the Moon Shoe became a true collector's piece: an original pair fetched $437,500 at auction in 2019. Today it is one of the most sought-after trainers in Europe.

Moon Shoe OG, Leather SP, Essential or Jacquemus: what's the difference?

The Nike Moon Shoe OG keeps the original's codes: an ultra-low profile, a slim shape, a waffle outsole and the retro Swoosh. The OG SP leans into pale colourways such as Soft Pearl and Summit White, while the OG Leather SP switches to a full-leather upper in Flax or Black. The Moon Shoe Essential, in Off Noir or Mystic Dates, is built for everyday wear. Finally, the Nike x Jacquemus Moon Shoe stands out with its ruched nylon upper, leather Swoosh and Jacquemus logo on the heel.

How to style the Nike Moon Shoe

Flat and slim like a ballet pump, the Moon Shoe works with straight-leg jeans, tailored trousers, a midi skirt or a dress. Let a white or coloured sock show to highlight the retro silhouette. Pale colourways keep things minimal, Flax, Baroque Brown and Malachite add a vintage feel, and the Black pair is the easiest to wear with anything. Every product page shows exactly which women's and men's sizes are in stock.
