Jacquemus made Nike history when it revived the Moon Shoe in 2025. The 1971 sneaker, an original pair of which can fetch half a million dollars at auction, never made it past the prototype stage when Phil Knight was trying to create the first Nike sneaker. Then Jacquemus applied a few tweaks and turned it into one of the most talked-about shoes of the year.
Now the collaboration is back for Spring 2026 with a second round of colourways, and Simon Porte Jacquemus has shifted the mood entirely. Where the debut drop leaned sharp and neutral, this release is softer, warmer, and more playful. The flat-soled silhouette remains the same, but the palette feels like a natural progression for a shoe that has already proven its commercial viability.
The Moon Shoe sits at a fascinating intersection: ancient technology dressed in modern sensibility. The sole construction dates back to the early 1970s, but the proportions and material choices feel completely current. It is the kind of collaboration that works because both brands bring something the other lacks.
Pre-orders are available via Jacquemus with a wider release expected through Nike channels in the coming weeks. Given how quickly the first drop moved, securing a pair early is strongly advisable.
