Move over Speedcats, the Nike Moon Shoe is the it-shoe for Summer 2026. The low-profile silhouette has been spotted on everyone from Rihanna to Dua Lipa to BLACKPINK’S LISA. 

The prototype for the shoe’s sole was developed way back in the ‘70s, when, in an attempt to help athletes achieve a better grip on his local track (but without weighing them down), the brand’s co-founder and DIY enthusiast Bill Bowerman got experimental and poured liquid rubber into his wedding present waffle iron. 

The designer treatment didn't hurt either. In 2025, French designer Jacquemus collaborated with Nike on a reinterpretation of the old prototype, which he debuted for the first time since the ‘70s at his SS25 show in Paris. The Jaquemus version shares many similarities with the Moon Shoe prototype, but is more ballerina-esque in its lightweight rushing, is slightly lower-profile, and sports the Jaquemus logo.
