FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a running shoe, they are best suited for lifestyle use today as they lack modern impact-absorbing technology.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from nylon, complemented by leather accents for durability and style.

Do they run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult Nike footwear.

How do I clean the white leather parts?

Use a damp, soft cloth with a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles in this model are generally designed to stay in place, but can be carefully lifted if you need to use custom orthotics.

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

The design is inspired by the original running shoe created by Bill Bowerman using a waffle iron in the early days of Nike.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the nylon upper

Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shape of the trainer.

Surface stains on the white leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth, then wipe gently.

Waffle sole picking up debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stones or dirt trapped in the traction grooves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic vintage aesthetic
  • Lightweight and breathable nylon material
  • Excellent for casual and lifestyle wear
  • Faithful recreation of a historical design

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance long-distance running
  • Limited cushioning compared to modern foam technologies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Moon Shoe Trainers last, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean the nylon upper by gently wiping it with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the material to warp or fade. Since this is a heritage style, ensure you confirm your UK sizing before purchase, as the fit is designed to mirror classic 70s footwear specifications.
