Nike Olympic zoom d. First full length plastic plate, red swoosh one side/blue swoosh on other side. Ovett and Aouita both had them at the 84 Olympics, and I remember being blown away.

Same here. The heel hanging over always reminded me of turf shoes or something like that.
Lots of good memories, on here!
OG Vics, Ethiopian(?) colorway
I remember seeing fast runners in yellow and black Nike XC shoes in the early 2000's, maybe Waffle or Zoom Streak XC. I always thought they were really cool looking.
LOL! Ingredients include "roommate's hair"
I got confused because I thought they were saying it was an animat and I was about to say I don't understand because it is dead flesh, but then I found out what Animatronics was.
IDK I find some of the animatronics more creepy than that shoe.

Nike Oregon Waffle
I, and a lot of my high school teammates had this shoe back in the mid to late 70's
Pre-Modern Age: Tiger Ohbori and Oregon Waffle.
Modern Age: Nike Eagle. THE original modern racing flat. Very, very cool.
Post-Modern Age: Nothing. They're just clownish.

I like both the leather Nike Cortez & the Tiger Corsair. The Corsair I liked better than the one in the picture was the one that had one blue stripe and 3 red stripes.
This was the shoe that led to the lawsuit between Tiger and Blue Ribbon Sports(Nike).
My #1 is the adidas cosmos spike but the blue and yellow one. I can't find a picture of it anywhere. It had yellow stripes. It was a little bit like this:
I've always liked these.

Always though Rod Dixon's Saucony's from the 83 NYC marathon were sweet.
They were actually up on eBay about 5 years ago.

There he was, Gold Medalist Carlos Lopes, watching us run by with the Spiridon Golds on his feet.
Presumably the same ones he also word at the Chicago Marathon a few weeks later.
The huge Nike LDV worn by the high school kid returning from his ten mile run and passing by my house in July 1978.
Jasaris are hard to beat
