FAQs

What makes the Waffle sole special?

The Waffle sole was an early innovation by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, created by pouring rubber into a waffle iron. It revolutionized sneaker traction and became an iconic design element.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good grip and comfort for casual wear and light jogging, the Moon Racer trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle shoes and are not optimized for high-impact running.

How should I clean the nylon upper?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh chemicals, as this can cause discoloration or damage.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from nylon, providing a lightweight and breathable feel, complemented by strategic leather overlays for added structure and durability.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The nylon upper is not inherently waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as the nylon can absorb moisture.

What does 'Summit White' refer to?

'Summit White' is the primary colorway of these trainers, referring to the clean, off-white shade of the nylon and leather components.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration on nylon upper

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test a small, inconspicuous area first. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized nylon cleaner, but always spot-test.

Reduced grip on outsole

Clean the Waffle rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be reducing traction.

Leather overlays feel stiff

Condition the leather overlays with a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Apply sparingly and allow it to absorb.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Moon Racer Trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult women and are suitable for general casual wear. They are not specifically designed for high-performance sports.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Moon Racer trainers:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For the nylon and leather components, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): If any parts of the shoe have suede or nubuck, use a specialized suede brush.
  3. Outsole: Clean the Waffle rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed to maintain grip.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
