Tracking trends is a key part of my job, and every so often, a special release comes along that I can immediately tell is bound to sell out. Nike’s newly reissued Moon Shoe is exactly that.

Landing today, the brand has delved deep into its archives to bring back the very first trainer it ever designed. Originally created in 1972, co-founder Bill Bowerman crafted the original sole using his wife’s waffle iron, giving rise to the now-iconic traction that cushions the shoe.

This latest iteration, priced at £90, is crafted in a Soft Pearl shade, punctuated with the sleek leather Swoosh and set on the black waffle sole, nodding to its track-and-field roots.
