Nike is going buck wild with their new React foam, a supremely bouncy midsole material. Earlier last year, we saw the new tech debut on the Moon Racer, now, the classic-inspired silhouette returns in two eye-catching new colorways.


Nike React technology is taking over. After slowly working its way on to a number of running, lifestyle, and even basketball silhouettes, the Swoosh’s latest foam soles are taking on a classic look next month. Titled the Moon Racer, the retro sneaker was first released last year, and now more colorways are on the way for 2019. The upper of the new Moon Racer is strikingly similar to the Nike Moon Shoe, one of the first prototype running shoes made with Bill Bowerman’s waffle sole. The upper appears to be made from nylon or a comparable soft material, with suede overlays around the eyestay, heel, and lateral toe side. Next, an abnormally large leather Swoosh takes over each side, along with a leather pull tab at the heel. This week, two new colorways of the Moon Racer have surfaced online, giving us another chance at the interesting new sneaker. First up, one pair is covered with a light blue mesh upper, layered by dark blue suede overlays and a bold red Swoosh. Secondly, the next pair begins with a burnt yellow tone for the mesh, as well as the thin suede overlays. The Swoosh comes in bold blue, which matches the split React midsole.
