Product Information
Full details
The Nike Moon Shoe is a heritage-inspired trainer designed for adults who value historical design and 70s-era aesthetics. It serves as a modern recreation of Bill Bowerman's original 1971 prototype, offering a unique blend of Italy Blue nylon and Neutral Grey suede that delivers a timeless, track-ready look. While it excels in style and historical authenticity, users should note that its construction is tailored more toward lifestyle wear than high-intensity modern athletic performance.

FAQs
Is the Nike Moon Shoe true to size?
Yes, it is generally sized standard for an adult trainer. If you prefer a looser fit, consider wearing thinner socks.
Can I use these for running?
While these are inspired by the original track shoes, they are intended for lifestyle use and lack the modern impact protection required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
You can clean the rubber Waffle sole with a mixture of mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth or toothbrush.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The nylon upper provides basic protection, but the suede overlays are porous. Using a protector spray is recommended to increase resistance.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The shoe is a direct recreation of the prototype created by Bill Bowerman in 1971 while Nike was still known as Blue Ribbon Sports.
Are there different colorways available?
The Moon Shoe series features various color combinations, though this specific model features an Italy Blue and Neutral Grey finish.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede cleaning block to gently lift the stain without using water.
Creasing on the nylon upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structural integrity and shape of the nylon.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust from the nylon upper. For the suede overlays, use a specialized suede eraser or brush to avoid damaging the texture.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for nylon and suede to protect against unexpected rain and stains.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant Blue nylon from fading over time.
- Fit: Ensure you are selecting the correct size, as the nylon construction provides a snug, consistent fit that does not stretch significantly over time.
