When he looked at his wife’s waffle iron — a model she had received as a wedding gift — he poured rubber into the mold and created the first waffle pattern in history. That’s how the Moon Shoe was born, named because the marks it left on the ground resembled astronauts’ footprints on the Moon. The Malachite\/Soft Pearl colorway brings that legend to life in deep green on a pearl-colored base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Moon Shoe — 1972, Twelve Pairs Made by Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly twelve pairs were made for the 1972 Olympic trials: employee Geoff Hollister stitched them by hand, one by one, with the Swoosh attached using fishing line. An original pair sold for $437,500 at auction in 2019. The silhouette is pure 1970s track style: an ultra-low profile, nylon upper with suede reinforcements, a slim tongue, and that unmistakable waffle sole. Here, Malachite green runs across the Swoosh and side panels over a Soft Pearl body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight Soft Pearl nylon with suede panels and reinforcements; Malachite green lateral Swoosh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft textile lining; removable cushioned insole; highly flexible low-profile construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber waffle sole, Bowerman’s original pattern, with square lugs for lightweight traction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy the Nike Moon Shoe at Next Step?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is Nike’s foundational piece and was practically inaccessible for decades.
