Product Information
Full details
The Nike Moon Shoe trainers are designed for footwear enthusiasts and history buffs who appreciate the heritage of Bill Bowerman's 1971 innovation. These trainers offer a unique connection to the evolution of athletic footwear through the iconic Waffle sole unit, providing a distinct vintage aesthetic and reliable grip. However, users should be aware that the suede construction requires careful maintenance compared to modern performance synthetics to ensure the longevity of the materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a 1971 track prototype, these are intended for lifestyle wear and do not feature the modern cushioning or support systems found in contemporary running shoes.
How do I clean the leather Swoosh?
Wipe the leather Swoosh with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap, then buff dry immediately.
Does the suede material come pre-treated?
It is recommended to apply a professional suede protectant spray before wearing them outdoors to provide a barrier against water and stains.
Is the sizing consistent with other Nike models?
The Moon Shoe generally aligns with standard Nike sizing, but as they are made of suede, they may have a slightly different initial feel compared to nylon or knit models.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never machine wash suede trainers, as the water and agitation can cause the material to shrink, bleed colour, or lose its shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on suede
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift and remove surface debris in a single direction.
Water spots on suede material
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally in a cool area and then brush the nap of the suede to restore texture.
Traction loss on smooth surfaces
Check the Waffle lugs for trapped pebbles or debris that may prevent full contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from suede, they are sensitive to moisture and dirt. To maintain their appearance, apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and a dedicated suede eraser for light stains. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the Italy Blue materials. Ensure you verify your size using the UK standard sizing chart before purchase to guarantee the best fit for your foot shape.
