Women's 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 leather and suede edition comes in earthy neutrals with pops of bright Safety Orange for a sleek, premium look. Paired with the iconic Waffle sole, you're getting a recreation of the old-school style you love.
