Nike LD-1000
Born in 1977 during Nike's formative years, the LD-1000 was pioneered with long-distance runners in mind—offering stability through every stride with its unique flared heel . As one of Nike's earliest forays into performance footwear, it helped cement the brand's innovative spirit at a time when its catalog was still lean and its reputation just taking form. Today, the LD-1000 returns with its original DNA intact, combining leather and textile uppers with a durable waffle outsole, bringing retro running heritage into a street-ready revival that honors the past while stepping into the present.
