Nike has taken the vintage athletic shoe to another level. Right when the recreated 1970's and 80's track shoes were becoming mainstream, Nike created some vintage-look running shoes that appear to have genuine street-cred.

It's hard not to love shoes with names like the Daybreak, the Cortez, and my personal favorite... the Oregon Waffle. It's even harder not to love them when they look like they're originals that have aged and weathered a bit in the past 30 years. And that's exactly what Nike has done with their new vintage running collection - added a bit of realistic wear and age so they look like they might have been discovered in some great aunt's closet rather than being brand new. Silly? Yes. Do I love them? Yes.
