WMNS Nike LD 1000 SE "Denim" IH5982-410

The Nike LD 1000 SE “Denim” returns with a crisp update, built on a silhouette that first turned heads in 1977. Originally engineered for long-distance running, the shoe’s flared heel gave runners extra support through each stride. Today, it steps back into rotation with a blend of heritage and clean, everyday wearability—this time wrapped in denim.

Nike pairs durable denim overlays with soft suede accents across the upper, adding texture while keeping airflow in check. It feels broken-in from the first wear. A classic foam midsole sits underneath, keeping things light and cushioned without compromising the shoe’s vintage shape. Waffle traction on the outsole gives a familiar grip, tying the look back to its roots.

This women’s exclusive doesn’t just rest on the materials. It arrives with a second set of laces, so you can tweak the look with ease. The dark indigo tones and retro Swoosh branding keep things versatile—easy to pair with laid-back fits or layered with socks for more character.

Nike has kept the LD 1000’s defining traits intact, from the exaggerated heel to the old-school outsole, but it doesn’t feel stuck in the past. The “Denim” edition balances sport history and current appeal without forcing it.
