URL Rewrite on IIS for old .html files

Server Config

Racking my brains on how to get this to work on IIS using url rewrite

There are 1000s of URLs on a website I work for that are old .html files that need 301 redirecting.

Most can be caught as they have a similar syntax:

OLD URLS:
/acatalog/nike_shoes_red_sneaker.html
/acatalog/nike_shoes_blue_sneaker.html
/acatalog/nike_shoes_sandal.html

NEW URL:
/nike

So tried the following rule:

<rule name="redirect_nike" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions><add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/acatalog/nike_shoes(.+)" /></conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="/nike" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

Also tried:

<rule name="ACatalog_Curvy_kate" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="*.html" ignoreCase="true" />
<conditions><add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/acatalog/nike_shoes(.*)" /></conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="/nike" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

But it’s still throwing a 404 error. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance! Jorge
