FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
While inspired by a running shoe, the Moon Shoe OG is best suited for casual wear and lifestyle activities due to its retro construction and materials. They do not offer the advanced cushioning or support of modern performance running shoes.
How do I clean the nylon upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the nylon. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the significance of the Waffle sole?
The Waffle sole is a direct nod to the original Nike running shoe designed by Bill Bowerman, who famously used his wife's waffle iron to create the pattern for improved traction.
What materials are used in the Nike Moon Shoe OG?
The shoe features a nylon upper with leather overlays and accents, and a rubber Waffle sole. It also includes a woven logo patch.
How does the sizing compare to other Nike shoes?
Sizing can vary slightly. It's recommended to consult Nike's official size guide and consider that this model is based on a '70s runner silhouette, which might have a different fit than contemporary models.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the warranty period for these sneakers?
Specific warranty information can vary. Please refer to the retailer's policy or Nike's official warranty information for details on coverage.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels different than expected
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and compare with your measurements. Consider the historical '70s runner fit profile, which may differ from modern shoes.
Nylon upper appears dirty
Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Waffle sole traction feels reduced
Ensure the grooves of the Waffle sole are free from dirt, mud, or pebbles. Use a small brush or pick to clear any debris lodged in the pattern.
Leather accents show signs of wear
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the affected areas and gently rub it in with a soft cloth. This helps to restore moisture and prevent further creasing.
