WMNS Nike LD-1000 "Bandana Mosswood Brown" IH4479-235

The LD-1000 returns with a new twist, blending archival DNA with a rugged textile upgrade. Originally released in 1977 as a long-distance runner’s essential, the silhouette’s standout heel flare and waffle sole now reappear with fresh purpose. This women’s-exclusive “Bandana Mosswood Brown” edition reimagines the classic in earthy tones and bold textures.

Instead of the usual mesh base, Nike opts for sturdy canvas dressed in an intricate bandana print. The pattern weaves through warm shades of brown, black and red, wrapping the upper in a layered visual feel that leans handcrafted. Rich brown suede covers the eyelets, toe wrap and heel for a more grounded finish, while the white Swoosh, tongue and lining offer some balance up top.

The exposed foam on the tongue keeps the retro vibe intact, and underfoot, a brown gum outsole sticks with the tried-and-tested waffle layout. It’s the kind of sole that holds up, whether worn on pavements or just styled for everyday wear.

This LD-1000 doesn’t chase trends. It taps into heritage and does something different without shouting. That flared heel still delivers comfort and support, but now it’s wrapped in a package that speaks more to expression than performance.

With this “Mosswood Brown” take, Nike brings a new texture to the LD-1000 story — one that feels both lived-in and quietly bold. Ideal for anyone who prefers subtle impact over loud branding.
