NIKE LD-1000 Sneaker

In 1977, Nike founded what would become one of the most important running clubs in the United States: Athletics West. That same year, the LD-1000 was released, but was soon pulled due to safety concerns over its overly flared heel. Phil Knight thought the retirement would spark controversy, but the public reaction was one of gratitude. Now, the wait is over. The iconic flared heel is back. This heritage edition of the LD-1000 features special graphics on the insole that pay homage to the legendary track club. Plus, suede and breathable fabrics combine with a waffle outsole to create the old-school look you love.
