WMNS Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoe SP "University Red" HV8547-600

The Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoe SP “University Red” reworks one of Nike’s earliest icons with a bold, modern expression. First built in 1972 by Bill Bowerman, the original Moon Shoe now receives a high-fashion revival under the direction of Simon Porte Jacquemus. This collaboration blends Nike’s running DNA with Jacquemus’s distinctive design language, creating a statement trainer rooted in heritage yet styled for today.

A vivid red textile upper sets the tone, reinforced with smooth suede overlays across the toe, serrated eyestays, and lateral forefoot. The deconstructed collar creates a sock-like fit, while thick nylon laces add both structure and a touch of Jacquemus’s signature detailing. Breathability is enhanced through subtle perforations on the forefoot, keeping the shoe comfortable in extended wear.

The design is anchored by an off-white leather Swoosh sweeping the quarter panels, complementing Jacquemus branding across the tongue and sockliner. Underfoot, a slab of EVA foam cushions each step, offering reliable shock absorption, while a gum rubber outsole with rounded waffle nubs provides dependable traction. These circular tread patterns nod back to Nike’s groundbreaking waffle sole technology, while also tying into the collaboration’s storytelling.

Arriving in special Blue Ribbon Sports packaging, the shoe bridges Beaverton’s earliest experiments with the elegance of Parisian fashion. The “University Red” colourway makes this iteration stand out as one of the most striking entries in the growing Jacquemus x Nike catalogue.

Blending the raw spirit of Nike’s track heritage with Jacquemus’s refined vision, the Moon Shoe SP “University Red” proves that a silhouette born for racing can live on as both a cultural reference and a bold everyday option.
