Retro Running Shoes Look So Cute in Satin: NIKE meets emmi, and the Colorway Is So Tempting!
Just what you need when stepping out in a long skirt!
Summary
- Modeled after the 1970s running shoe Moon Shoe—a defining starting point in Nike's history—this design is modernized while retaining the signature waffle rubber outsole.
- The upper pairs finely lustrous satin fabric with real and synthetic leather trims, striking a balance between sporty vibes and refined elegance.
- Styled with color-matched ruched satin ribbon laces, it is available in multiple colorways, including grey-purple (CGRY), soft pink, and cream beige.
If you love heading out in sneakers but can’t bear to leave your lace skirts or knit cardigans behind, emmi’s latest release might just steal your heart instantly. Japanese select shop emmi has introduced an exclusive MOON SHOE, transforming the classic retro runner into a gentle daily shoe infused with balletic grace.
Satin upper and ribbon laces: details you can’t take your eyes off
At first glance, the eye-catching highlight is the satin ribbon laces featuring delicate gathers and wavy edges. Tied into a bow across the instep, they instantly soften the heavy look typical of sneakers.
The upper itself has been thoughtfully redesigned. Swapping traditional sporty mesh for a satin synthetic fabric with a soft luster, it pairs with zigzag overlays of genuine and synthetic leather along the toe and eyestay. The silhouette retains retro depth while gaining a clean, elegant feel.
Colors that make it hard to choose
The standout colorway of the collection is a cool grey-purple that subtly shifts between silver-grey and light purple tones depending on the light—perfect for fall/winter dark or cool-toned outfits. If you prefer a sweeter, lighter vibe, there is a strawberry milk pink with a matching outsole, as well as a warm, versatile oatmeal beige.
