The Nike LD-1000 was first released in 1977, but was recalled due to safety concerns because of the extremely flared heel. The shoe faded into the background for decades - but it was not forgotten. Now the wait is over. The striking, flared heel is celebrating its long-awaited comeback. This new edition of the classic returns with speed, charisma and the nostalgic colorway in Game Royal and Opti Yellow. Genuine and synthetic leather merge with airy textiles and the unmistakable waffle profile on the sole to create the popular old-school look.
