Nike’s Oldest Sneaker Gets Better in Leather
The Nike Moon Shoe revival is off to a good start with Jacquemus collaborations and stylish general-release options. And it just got better, thanks to a leather makeover.
That's right. Nike has swapped out the model's usual nylon uppers for creamy leather, giving the Moon Shoe a slick refresh.
It also features some suede touches plus the famous Waffle soles. And it normally sports a leather Swoosh on the sidewalls, but now the whole sneaker is covered in leather.
The leather Moon Shoe is set to debut in two nice colorways: a bright "University Red" and a calm "Flax". Both pairs are expected to release sometime during the fall season on Nike's website.
I mean, what better way to kick off leather weather than with new buttery Moon Shoes?
And for fans of the classic nylon pairs, don't worry. They'll still be around. Nike is expected to drop more in-line color options. There are also whispers of another Jacquemus collaboration for 2027, featuring not only the signature nylon but ostrich leather Swooshes.
