This classic retro running shoe is making a triumphant return.

In 1977, Nike launched the LD-1000, only to recall it shortly after due to safety issues with its notably flared heel. While Phil Knight anticipated criticism for the recall, he was met with gratitude from dedicated runners and loyal customers instead. Nike responded by going back to the drawing board, consistently producing successful designs that catered to every runner's needs, and creating some of the most iconic running shoes in history. Though the LD-1000 was put on hold and faded from the spotlight for decades, it was never forgotten.

Now, the wait is over. The bold flared heel is making its long-awaited return. This updated edition of the heritage classic features a blend of nostalgic Game Royal and Opti Yellow colors, with real and synthetic leather combined with breathable textiles and the legendary Waffle sole, delivering the vintage look you adore.
