FAQs
What is the origin of the Nike Moon Shoe OG?
The Moon Shoe OG is a modern take on Bill Bowerman's first running shoe, created using a waffle iron before Nike was officially named Nike. It celebrates the brand's innovative beginnings in the 1970s.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While they are inspired by running shoes, the Moon Shoe OG is best suited for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the advanced support and cushioning needed for serious athletic training or long-distance running.
How do I clean the Waffle sole?
You can use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For more stubborn grime, use a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of Nylon, with added Leather Overlays for reinforcement and aesthetic appeal.
Does this model come in other colors?
The specific model 'Moon Shoe OG' often comes in variations of white and brown, reflecting its original design. Other 'Moon Shoe' models might offer different colorways.
How does the sizing compare to modern Nike trainers?
Sizing can sometimes vary for retro-inspired models. It's recommended to check customer reviews or compare with similar vintage-style Nike shoes if possible. For this specific model, UK size 12 is provided.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster,' but in the context of sneakers, it signifies the original or early, classic version of a particular shoe model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common due to the retro design. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Laces are difficult to tie or stay tied.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Consider using a double knot for added security or replacing the laces with a textured pair that holds knots better.
Slight color transfer from leather to lighter socks.
This can occasionally happen with new leather. Ensure socks are fully dry before wearing. If the issue persists, consider applying a leather protectant spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
