Nike Put Vintage Green On The Moon Shoe And Kept The Waffle That Named It

Moon Shoe OG. Vintage Green / Gum Light Brown. IX3952-300. 1 October 2026 on the Japan card. Bowerman’s iron. Nylon and leather. Waffle rubber.

Nike is running the Moon Shoe OG again. The Japan brief dates Vintage Green / Gum Light Brown as IX3952-300 for 1 October 2026. The IX3952 family already exists on European PDPs in other colors (Cacao Wow as IX3952-200). A women’s Moon Shoe OG in Malachite / Soft Pearl / Gum Light Brown sits as IW0955-300 at $105 on Nike.com. Treat Vintage Green as the request green card in the men’s-coded family until nike.com/jp prints the tile. Do not merge 300 across gender codes.

Bill Bowerman poured rubber in a waffle iron before the company was named Nike. The 1972 Moon Shoe took the cratered print and the name. This OG is nylon with leather Swoosh and accents, foam sockliner, rubber waffle. Heritage runner, not a racing spike.

Signal. What happened: Japan scheduled Moon Shoe OG Vintage Green / Gum Light Brown as IX3952-300 for 1 Oct 2026. Exact product: waffle-sole heritage runner. When and where: Nike Japan and usual sportswear doors. Source: style code plus official Moon Shoe OG struct. Why it matters: the first waffle last is still a $105-class shoe when it hits a Nike tile. Earlier DRIFT: none.

The Moon Shoe is a thin trainer with a story attached to the outsole. Waffle blocks leave the pattern that looked like moon dust in dirt. Nylon keeps the upper light. Leather is the Swoosh and the overlays that stop the nylon from reading as a cheap racer. Gum light brown is the period outsole tint. Vintage Green, if the tile matches the name, is a mineral green close to the Malachite women’s card without being that SKU.

It is not a Vomero. It is not an Alphafly. Foam is a sockliner, not a racing stack. People buying it for 1972 will be disappointed by 2026 factories. People buying it for a green waffle on a Friday will get that.

Size true to other low-profile Nike heritage runners. Narrow last. Gum marks. Nylon packs.

1 October is a Thursday. Confirm nike.com/jp and SNKRS Japan. $105 is the published US tag on the related OG. Yen follows the JP tile. IX3952-300 must show Vintage Green and gum on the same photograph. If the tile says Malachite or IW0955, you are on the other last.

Stock will not behave like a Jordan. Heritage runners sit. Green with gum photo. That is the only heat.
