Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoe "Emerald Rise" Released

The Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoe collaboration has introduced a new colorway, "Emerald Rise," which is now available for purchase. This latest iteration of the iconic running shoe reimagines the silhouette with a palette directly inspired by Miami's vibrant aesthetic. The "Emerald Rise" colorway features a blend of blues, drawing from the city's waters and the softer pastels found in its Art Deco architecture. This specific color treatment aims to connect the release to Miami, the city where it initially debuted, imbuing the collaboration with a distinct sense of place.

The design of the "Emerald Rise" Moon Shoe retains key elements from Jacquemus's previous interpretations of the model. It features a ruched nylon upper, contributing to its soft and gathered texture. Complementing this is a Nike Grind outsole, which highlights Nike's commitment to sustainability and its historical roots in running footwear. The overall shape of the shoe adopts a modern, ballet-inspired aesthetic, presenting a more streamlined and elevated version of Nike's early racing shoe designs.

The release strategy for the "Emerald Rise" colorway further emphasizes its Miami connection. The shoe was first made available at Jacquemus's boutique in Miami's Design District before becoming accessible on the brand's website. This approach positions the launch not only as a product release but also as a marker of Jacquemus's expanding presence in the city. The collaboration has consistently used the Moon Shoe as a platform for creative reinvention, and the "Emerald Rise" colorway continues this trend by grounding the design in a specific geographical and cultural context.

The Jacquemus x Nike Moon Shoe "Emerald Rise" is identified by SKU HV8547-300 and has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $180 USD. The colorway is described as Emerald Rise/Blue Cap-Ghost-Pale Ivory. This collaboration builds upon the ongoing partnership between Jacquemus, a French luxury fashion house founded by Simon Porte Jacquemus, and Nike, the global sportswear giant. The Moon Shoe itself is a significant model in Nike's history, originally designed by Bill Bowerman in 1972 for the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, featuring a unique waffle sole inspired by a waffle iron.
