Nike LD 1000 SP "Neapolitan" FQ9079-200

Nike digs into its archives once again, reviving the LD-1000 with a fresh “Neapolitan” colourway. First introduced in 1977, this classic runner returns with a mix of retro aesthetics and modern construction, offering a balance of heritage design and everyday comfort.

The upper sticks to the LD-1000’s original blueprint, pairing a tactile nylon base with soft suede overlays. The standout feature is the Neapolitan-inspired colour scheme, combining Light British Tan, Light Bone, and Pinksicle for a look that mirrors the classic ice cream trio. A Pinksicle Swoosh and heel tab contrast against the neutral tones, adding a pop of colour to the vintage styling.

Down below, the Waffle outsole remains intact, keeping the shoe’s grippy, lightweight feel just as it was decades ago. One key update? A light tan midsole, which leans further into the aged aesthetic, making this pair feel straight out of a vintage Nike catalogue. White laces and a vanilla-hued tongue complete the package, rounding off the throwback appeal.

With its flared heel and unmistakable ‘70s running DNA, the Nike LD-1000 SP “Neapolitan” is a perfect blend of old and new. Expect a Spring 2025 release, with further details on where to secure a pair in the UK coming soon.
