The Nike LD-1000’s are absolutely sublime. They bring that retro chic look to any outfit and feel wonderful on your feet. The fabrics used are high quality and the design is retro in all the right ways. Love the design of the shoes as they stand out amongst the crowd. Probably the best feature is the heel area that slightly flairs out. If you are looking for some shoes that are comfy and stylish yet don’t sacrifice on individuality, these are it!

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.
