Details & care

First hitting the ground in 1979 at the Honolulu Marathon, this landmark running shoe is back as a sneaker, and it's just as cool as it was 40+ years ago. Staying true to the original, its throwback profile sports the same streamlined construction and square-nubbed tread, with sleek nylon in the upper paired with the sole's full-length Nike Air unit that was a game-changing revolution in cushioning.

  • Cushioning: absorbs impact and distributes weight for consistent, buoyant comfort under each step
  • Lace-up style
  • Nike Air unit in the sole provides lightweight cushioning
  • Textile and leather upper/textile and synthetic lining/rubber sole
  • Imported
  • Men's Shoes
  • Item #503206
  • Core Product ID 333334SRUP
