Nike LD-1000

These shoes remind me a lot of the Nike Cortez. The fit is a little wider but the solid leather material definitely makes it a sturdy shoe. It has the old school waffle pattern for the shoe bottom so if you’re looking for a retro shoe, this is it. The color is like a Kelly green if you’re into bold colors. It’s definitely a unique shoe. I like how the inside is blue (although you wouldn’t see it once you’re wearing it. Since this is definitely a lifestyle shoe, I’m not sure how comfortable it would be wearing for a long period of time, but I can see how the color could complete a cute outfit. Also a major plus for me is the shoe laces are long enough to tie and loop behind the tongue. I feel like a lot of the newer shoes have shorter laces, but these seem like the right length. The shoes are a classic shoe. The color is a bit too bold for me for everyday use but if you’re into having shoes not matching your outfit all the time, it definitely has a unique look!

I’ve been collecting Nike and Jordan sneakers for years and have over 100 pairs in my collection. This is my first pair of the LD-1000s, and honestly, I think I just found my new everyday sneakers. And since I love the color green, this pair is perfect for me. Fit & Feel: I usually wear between an 8.5 and 9 in men’s, and these fit like a glove. The fit is snug and comfortable, great for all-day wear. That said, they do run narrow, so I wouldn’t recommend them for someone with wider feet. Design: The design is what really caught my eye. The green colorway is bold and makes you stand out, while the gum sole adds a classic touch. It’s a clean yet standout look that works well for both casual wear and training. Fabric: The leather material gives the shoe a premium appearance, but the quality could be better. After only a few wears, I noticed creasing, which makes me question how well the material will hold up over time. What I liked most / What I’d change: My favorite thing about this shoe is hands down the colorway—it’s unique and eye-catching. If I could change one thing, it would be the material. A cloth or mesh upper would probably crease less and hold its shape better with everyday use. Overall, it’s a solid sneaker that I’d definitely buy again in another colorway.

They are very light weight shoes. Felt very comfortable. Each step I took it felt like I was on a cloud. Wore it on a day I was doing a lot of walking and felt fine throughout the day. Definitely recommend them
