The Nike Moon Shoe’s Sail Theme Continues with a Gum Sole

Designed as a prototype in 1971, the Moon Shoe was crafted when Nike was still called Blue Ribbon Sports, but it never got its time to shine with a retail release. Now, 55 years later, Nike is a juggernaut, and the Moon Shoe is finally getting its due. After debuting with a frilly Jacquemus collab, the Moon Shoe made its way to the in-line release calendar, and now, the silhouette is cementing itself as a staple in Nike’s women’s catalog.

Sailing Away to the Moon

The Nike Moon Shoe OG Sail Gum (W) is the latest pair of the low-profile waffle sole racer in Nike’s favorite off-white shade. Featuring Sail across the soft fabric upper, the side panel bumpers at the toe and heel are grey suede, while the Swoosh brings a strike of black to the pair.
