Nike is launching the first-ever general retail release of its iconic Moon Shoe in three new spring colorways. The yellow and white, navy and white, and triple white versions will drop via SNKRS on April 3, followed by Nike's webstore on May 7. This marks over 50 years since the sneaker's original creation in 1971.
The Moon Shoe, originally crafted in 1971 when Nike operated as Blue Ribbon Sports, features the legendary waffle-pressed sole. It served as a foundational design for later models like the Oregon Waffle and Waffle Trainer but never saw a proper retail release in the 1970s. Nike is now bringing a faithful reconstruction to its lifestyle catalog after a high-fashion revival by Jacquemus and a campaign featuring Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu. The three colorways inject fresh energy into the vintage silhouette: a vibrant yellow paired with white, a clean navy and white combination, and a pristine all-white option. Nike Sportswear shared early looks on social media, confirming the April 3 availability on SNKRS and the broader rollout on May 7 via the Nike website.
