Nike’s digging deep into the archives for a true rarity—the LD-1000. This 1970s relic, originally known for its sleek profile is getting a fresh lease on life in 2025. This time, it returns in a women’s-exclusive “University Red”.

About the Nike WMNS LD-1000 “University Red”

Sure, this rendition retains that classic, streamlined silhouette that made the Nike LD-1000 a favorite amongst OG runners. But this time around, Nike has splashed it in a head-turning “University Red” colorway, resulting in a vibrant fusion of bold design and old-school appeal.

A fiery red base sets the stage, accented by a metallic silver Swoosh and heel that gleams like a champion’s trophy. The OG Nike branding on the tongue and heel adds a touch of authenticity, a reminder of the shoe’s storied past.

Interestingly, the “University Red” wasn’t an original colorway for the LD-1000. But it absolutely nails the spirit of the era, injecting a shot of color and making a statement.

Release Details

The Nike WMNS LD-1000 “University Red” drops exclusively in women’s sizing in Spring 2025. Keep an eye on Nike Sportswear retailers, Nike.com, and brick-and-mortar locations. It will carry a retail price tag of US$100.
