Any of you old timers on here remember how much on average a 1980-1990 running shoe/flat would weight?
Specifically a type a top/decent 10k-marathon type runner would wear to a race? Like Nike Air Mariah etc?

I believe the Mariah was 7.5-8 oz. It wasn’t the lightest due to the pu midsole.
The non air Duelist was closer to 6 oz.
Thanks, that's lighter than I remember. A few companies have re-released old retro racers recently but they seem much heavier, guessing they are fashion shoes and not exactly same.
The adidas marathon 80 weighed 6.3 ounces and came in around 1978. For me, the best shoe I ever used.
