The Nike LD-1000 Men’s shoe, is another nice addiction to my rotation. This shoes has a nice snug fit. I was able to adjust the laces and create a personal snug that feels great. The design is pretty casual. Made with two mesh side divide by a shade patch on the toe box gives this shoe a chest and clean design. A style can fits with a casual look. (Brighter colored ones look good with statement pieces). The fabric is nice and allows for the snug fit and a bit of toe dexterity. The walls sole looks and feels good. Before broken into, it did feel like the mid part of your foot was suspended with support just at the toes and heel, but that went away after a couple of wears. Not much I’d change on the shoe. Maybe make the two waffle rubbers on the front of the shoe slightly smaller. But over nice shoe.

You'll see our shipping options at checkout.This retro running shoe is ready for its revival. In 1977, Nike released the LD-1000...then recalled it shortly after due to safety concerns with its dramatically flared heel. 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 the wait is over.

#teamnikeGood everyday shoe
Avinash - Aug 03, 2025
I used the LD-1000 everyday for the last one week and they are very comfortable everyday shoe. They have a comfortable sole which makes it perfect long hours of use. Just don't run in it. They have tiny spikes which gives a good grip on various surfaces. If you usually wear 12, I would recommend buying 12.5. The visual design looks very plain and simple.

#teamnikeGood look & fit, less comfortable
Don - Aug 02, 2025
The shoes fit true to size and have a fun profile. I like the look it adds to a casual outfit. They were not very comfortable for long periods of standing or walking.
