FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Nike Moon Shoe?

The Nike Moon Shoe is inspired by Bill Bowerman's first running shoe, which he famously created using his wife's waffle iron. This updated version brings back that original pioneering silhouette from the '70s.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the design is inspired by running shoes, the Moon Shoe is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for everyday activities but are not designed for high-performance running or athletic training.

What materials are used in the Nike Moon Shoe?

The shoes feature a nylon upper with premium leather accents and overlays. They are finished with a signature rubber Waffle outsole.

How should I clean my Nike Moon Shoes?

Gently clean the upper with a slightly damp cloth. Use a soft brush for the outsole to remove dirt. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'OG' mean in relation to the Moon Shoe?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original Green' or 'Original Gangster', but in footwear, it often refers to an original or classic version of a model, often a re-release of an iconic design.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The nylon upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to preserve the materials and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight upon first wear.

This is common for new shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if they feel loose later.

Traction feels inconsistent on certain surfaces.

Ensure the Waffle outsole is clean and free from debris. For slippery surfaces, proceed with caution as the grip is designed for general use.

Discoloration on lighter materials.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or abrasive materials. Clean any marks immediately with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
