The LD-1000 is a retro-inspired running shoe originally released in 1977 with a dramatically flared heel that caught the attention of every runner. Although recalled due to safety concerns, it redefined Nike's commitment to innovation. Now, the LD-1000 returns with a modern update that blends vintage design with contemporary performance, paying homage to one of the most iconic silhouettes in Nike history. This model showcases a breathable mesh upper reinforced with tonal suede overlays at the forefoot and heel. Leather detailing in an eye-catching hot pink hue stands out on the retro Swoosh and back tab, stamped with a Nike wordmark in block lettering. Lightweight cushioning is provided by an aged foam midsole, rendered in a classic wedge shape and supported by a waffle-traction rubber outsole.
