Full details
The Nike Moon Shoe trainers are designed for sneaker enthusiasts and vintage collectors who appreciate historical footwear design. This model masterfully revives the 1971 silhouette that debuted the iconic waffle iron sole, offering a perfect marriage of 1970s running aesthetics and modern durability. While they provide excellent traction and a lightweight feel, users should note that these are lifestyle-focused trainers meant for casual wear rather than intense athletic performance training.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a historic running shoe, these are classified as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for modern long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing; it is recommended to select your usual size for a comfortable fit.
What is the material composition?
The upper is constructed primarily from nylon with grey overlays and a genuine leather Swoosh.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the delicate nylon materials. Always clean by hand.
What does the 'Italy Blue' colourway look like?
It is a vibrant blue shade that pairs with neutral grey overlays for a classic, contrast-heavy aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the upper material
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the nylon upper.
Difficulty cleaning the waffle sole
Use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the debris out of the deep indentations of the waffle pattern.
Stiffness upon first wear
The shoe may require a brief 'break-in' period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard adult fit. To ensure long-lasting wear, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the soles. For the nylon and overlays, utilize a damp microfiber cloth with a very mild cleaning solution; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical solvents that could damage the leather Swoosh or the nylon finish. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
