Nike Moon Racer Yellow Ochre Gym Blue

In 2019, Nike brought back a classic with the Nike Moon Racer Yellow Ochre Gym Blue. This shoe offers an updated version of the 1972 Moon Racer that took inspiration from the 1969 moon landing. While this sneaker has a sleek, modern design, Nike paid homage to the original Moon Racer with a vintage yellow-and-blue color scheme. The eccentric silhouette, mesh uppers and suede accents make the Nike Moon Racer Yellow Ochre Gym Blue a futuristic shoe that's fit for astronauts. The footwear features a yellow mesh with a blue leather Swoosh that makes a splash on the yellowish-orange mesh while the suede overlays add solid blocks of color to the design. The rubber sole takes up about one-third of the shoe and features a thick white heel that sweeps forward and points upward at the toe. The Nike Moon Racer Yellow Ochre Gym Blue released in March of 2019 and retailed for $150. The first man on the moon was one of the most important moments in history. Three years after the revolutionary event, the original 'Moon Shoe' was born under Blue Ribbon Sports, which would eventually become Nike. Recalling the times with a vintage colorway, Nike released the Moon Racer QS 'Yellow Ochre' in early 2019. Honoring tradition while incorporating innovation, this shoe is dressed in a leather and suede upper atop a React foam sole, transforming the timeless classic into a contemporary shoe.
