The Nike LD-1000 Returns in Ornate "Soft Pearl" Ensemble Exclusive to Women

A relic of Nike Running's past, the LD-1000 spent much of the last handful of decades relegated to the archives. Since Summer 2024, however, the low-profile silhouette has amassed a number of retros, featuring original and new color schemes.

Ahead of the seasonal change, the Nike LD-1000 has emerged in a clean "Soft Pearl/Light Bone" ensemble. While unassuming on paper, the newly-surfaced pair includes a number of ornate details presumably informed by an impending Nike Sportswear collection. Jacquard panels line the profiles, which feature high-quality suede at the toe, along the tongue, and via profile swooshes. Decorative lace attachments seemingly harken back to pre-Columbian times, matching the patterns found on the tongue label and insole. Underfoot, the sneaker keeps things simple with its color palette, opting for a faux-aged look across the midsole.
