Uppers: Lightweight nylon base with leather and supportive synthetic/synthetic-suede overlays.
Swoosh & Branding: Premium leather Swoosh and heritage-inspired accents in Safety Orange.
Midsole: Foam/vintage-yellowed polyurethane in the Sail colourway, designed to mimic the look of early 1970s running builds.
Outsole: Signature hand-poured rubber waffle traction sole.
Because the Nike Moon Shoe OG is a heritage-inspired lifestyle sneaker featuring a mix of delicate nylon, leather overlays, and vintage-treated midsoles, proper manual care is essential to preserve its condition.
Dry Cleaning First: Use a soft-bristled brush or clean toothbrush to gently brush away loose dirt and debris from the nylon uppers, midsoles, and waffle outsoles.
Spot Cleaning: Mix warm water with a small amount of mild laundry detergent or dish soap to create a gentle, soapy solution. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the mixture, wring it out well, and gently wipe down the leather overlays and nylon upper.
Laces: Remove the shoelaces and hand-wash them separately in warm, soapy water before rinsing and drying.
What to Avoid: Never put them in a washing machine or dryer. Harsh agitation and heat can warp the structure and dissolve vintage shoe adhesives. Avoid harsh chemical solvents, bleach, or stiff-bristled brushes on the nylon panels, as these can cause discolouration or fraying.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Stuffing them with clean paper towels helps them retain their shape while drying.
