LD-1000

Originally released in 1977, the LD-1000's dramatically flared heel was created to support long-distance runners. However, it was recalled shortly after due to safety concerns. Phil Knight expected backlash for the recall, but instead he received gratitude from devout runners and loyal customers. The LD-1000 was shelved and took a back seat to stardom for decades—but it wasn't forgotten.
Now you can get your hands on one of Nike's most famous innovations too. This black and brown edition combines shaggy suede and airy textiles with our iconic Waffle sole, creating a highly wearable shoe with the old-school look you love.
