MD Valiant

The Nike MD Valiant is inspired by 1980s running footwear, and pays tribute to Nike’s rich heritage, even referencing the ’64 Valiant car used by Nike’s co-founder in its early days.

Designed with a mix of textile and suede, the MD Valiant echoes the classic style of ’80s Nike shoes. The iconic Swoosh and detailed stitching add to its retro allure. Comfort isn’t overlooked, thanks to the soft foam cushioning that ensures lightweight ease with every step.

The sneaker’s functionality is elevated by its full-length Waffle outsole, crafted from durable rubber. This feature, a respectful nod to Nike’s history, provides both flexibility and reliable traction, making the MD Valiant versatile for various training activities and surfaces.

Performance-wise, the Nike MD Valiant focuses on enhancing running efficiency, balancing cushioning and comfort with the necessary support for a stable and dynamic stride. Its midsole, incorporating Nike’s premier compounds, runs the entire length of the shoe, guaranteeing a comfortable transition from heel to toe and optimizing comfort during runs.

The upper part of the MD Valiant features a technical mesh with reinforcements, ensuring both breathability and heat regulation inside the shoe. This design aspect contributes to the overall flexibility and lightness of the sneaker, improving the fit and enhancing the running experience regardless of pace or distance.
