Nike is loving their new React technology. The midsole foam is slowly making its way onto a fair amount of Swoosh silhouettes, including some retro classics. Check out the new Moon Racer, coming this August.
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, we now have a closer look at both of the shoe’s launch colorways. 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.
The midsole of the Moon Racer is again very similar to another recent Nike release. the triangular shape and pointed heel have drawn comparisons to the Vapor Street Flyknit, which indicates that it could be made largely from React Foam. While this has yet to be confirmed by Nike, more details are expected before the shoe’s release in August. The new Moon Racer will launch in two colorways next month, one in black with a white Swoosh, and the other in khaki with Volt hits and an olive Swoosh.
