OG Brooks Cascadia
Best training shoes: The original Nike Structure
Best racing shoes: Nike Skylon
Nike Daybreak, followed by Asics Speedstars.
1. Nike Terra TC (circa 80's)
This thread comes up all the time, and all it does it nail down the ages of posters.
Nike Terra T-C
Oddly enough, though, I swear the Skechers GoRun 7 is the same shoe, done better.
Brooks Racer ST
Can’t believe I ran 2 marathons (4 if you count Ironman as well) in them.
But man they were great shoes.
1st version of pegasus turbo by far
Early ASICS DS-Trainers... the ones with the independent circle pods for cushioning. Like the 22's or earlier.
I liked the old Adios Boost. Wish I had stocked up on a dozen pairs or so.
Nike Pegasus from circa 2000.
ASICS DS Trainer 6? 2001/2002.
Nike Zoom Elite 2003ish.
adizero rocket - anything over 10k
streak xc 3 - lt 2 - 10k and down
Ron Hill 2:08 Racer, circa 1984

This is what popped into my head based on a very old memory. I believe I got them for Christmas 1981 at age 13.
I think it’s time for a 40th Anniversary retro version.

I may be a year or two off.
The ‘02-04 Zoom Elites were awesome. My all time favorite.
Great thread.
Surprised people said the ‘03-‘04 zoom elites. The worst shoe I ever ran in.
My top three are probably:
Nike Zoom Streak LT 3 (also around mid-00s)
First Pegasus Turbo
New Balance MR10 (OG minimus from 2011)
Another vote for Nike Terra TC’s

Wait. I’m an idiot.
The zoom elite is the BEST shoe I ever ran in.
I was thinking of what I believe was like the “Zoom Elite Pro” or something that came out right after (04-05?) it had a carbon fiber plate in it I believe and felt NOTHING like the generation right before it. Can someone tell me what I’m thinking of?
