Buzz Aldrin x Nike 6.0 Mavrk Mid 2 “Rocket Hero”

The man who piloted the first ever lunar mission to the Moon paired up with Nike 6.0 on this Mavrk Mid 2, which pays tribute to the historical event that occurred just 40 years ago.

Black suede is used on the heel and toe, matching the outsole. The authenticity of the details is what makes these special, as the photos printed on the upper were actually taken by Aldrin in orbit in 1969. The insole is also printed with a photo–the first footprint ever left on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission. The mismatching inner and outer Swooshes represent the dark and light side of the Moon.
