Nike 'Moon Shoe' worn by Mark Covert in the 1972 U.S. Olympic Trials. The shoes were made in a waffle iron and were the first Nike shoes worn during competition. Their paths diverged after Knight's graduation, but the two reconnected in 1963 when Knight wrote Bowerman a life-changing letter. Hope this helps.
