As America celebrates the “giant leap for mankind” on July 20, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Swiss performance brand, On, is letting people recreate the “moon walk” with a new, limited-edition sneaker \u2014 and only 999 pairs are available worldwide (50 pairs in the U.S.).<\/p>\n

Launching on July 18,\u00a0the Cloud Edge Moon<\/a> was inspired by the vintage moon boot worn by Neil Armstrong during the historic Apollo 11 landing. The front and heel Velcro straps are two defining features that closely resemble Armstrong\u2019s lunar footwear. Each pair has a number printed on the front Velcro strap, indicating which shoe of the 999 pairs available worldwide it is.<\/p>\n

The back strap displays \u201cMISSION MEMBER\u201d with a space for the owners to write their names. The Cloud Edge Moon\u2019s platform is constructed of Zero Gravity Foam, for that “running on clouds” (or moon) sensation.<\/p>\n

“While most of our shoes focus on elements that enhance training and performance, the Cloud Edge Moon is all about comfort and design,\u201d said On co-founder David Allemann. \u201cWe also wanted to pay tribute to the thousands of people who made the Apollo 11 landing possible 50 years ago, especially the two daring astronauts who took on the mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only 999 pairs of the limited-edition Cloud Edge Moon will be distributed across the world, with 50 available in the United States.\u00a0The shoe will be available to purchase on July 20th at 4:18 PM EST, the exact time the rocket landed on the moon 50 years ago.<\/p>\n
