The Nike Moon Shoe dates to 1971, when Nike was still called Blue Ribbon Sports and Bill Bowerman was pressing waffle rubber in a kitchen iron. The shoe never had a proper retail release — it existed in small quantities, informed the design of the Oregon Waffle and Waffle Trainer, and spent the next five decades as one of the most elusive artifacts in sneaker history. That is about to change.
Nike is releasing three new spring colorways of the Moon Shoe — Yellow and white, Navy and white, and Triple White — for what the brand describes as the first-ever general retail release of the silhouette. The shoes drop on SNKRS on April 3, with a wider release on Nike.com on May 7. MSRP and SKUs are still listed as TBC. A high-fashion Jacquemus collaboration preceded this launch and brought the silhouette back into cultural conversation; the general release is the follow-through.
