The Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoe “Soft Pearl” brings a fashion-forward reinterpretation of one of Nike’s earliest running silhouettes. The collaboration draws inspiration from the original 1972 Nike Moon Shoe, famous for its experimental waffle outsole created by Bill Bowerman, while filtering the design through Jacquemus’ minimalist and contemporary aesthetic.

The upper features a clean “Soft Pearl” palette, combining light cream and off-white tones across smooth textiles and premium materials. The streamlined construction emphasizes simplicity, with subtle paneling and minimal branding that align with Jacquemus’ refined design language. The Swoosh appears understated within the silhouette, allowing the shape and texture of the shoe to stand out.

Underfoot, the sneaker references Nike’s historic waffle traction pattern, a defining feature of the original Moon Shoe prototype. The sculpted sole unit keeps the vintage running inspiration intact while providing everyday cushioning and grip, bridging heritage performance design with modern lifestyle comfort.

Blending archival Nike running history with Jacquemus’ modern fashion sensibility, the “Soft Pearl” edition offers a clean, elevated take on the Moon Shoe concept while celebrating one of the brand’s most important early innovations.
