The Nike Moon Shoe, one of the most mythologized sneakers of the running boom, is getting the Jacquemus treatment. Simon Porte Jacquemus announced on Instagram that his label is collaborating with Nike on the silhouette again, this time in an Emerald Rise colorway.
The wait for the Emerald Rise Moon Shoe will be long, but in the current sneaker economy, patience is often the point.
For Jacquemus, the project continues the brand’s translation of its sun-drenched minimalism onto products beyond apparel. For Nike, it is another opportunity to keep its archive in circulation.
The collaboration sits within a broader moment in which heritage running silhouettes are being reissued through designer lenses. The Moon Shoe’s combination of sculptural form and technical pedigree makes it a natural canvas.
The Moon Shoe entered its latest chapter when Nike re-released the model in brown, yellow, navy, and white, reigniting interest in a design whose waffle outsole and early construction made it a piece of running history.
Jacquemus has already demonstrated an affinity for Nike’s archive, having worked with the brand on France’s World Cup kits. The Moon Shoe collaboration extends that relationship into a silhouette with cult status among collectors.
