Nike1

A 1970s running shoe is back on the market in two colourways as a Size? exclusive – the Nike Elite Vintage trainers.

It was 1976 when the shoe first appeared and is back now with looks very reminiscent of the era. The upper is a mix of suede and nylon, with contrasting detailing and 'swoosh', vintage mid sole, waffle out sole and fan tongue.

£55 gets you a pair in either shade – see the other over the page.

Also, if you are a Nike fan, check out the Nike Vintage '70 – '80 book, which you can buy here. It's a Japanese imported book that covers pretty much everything in the company's range between those years. It sells in the UK for £29.50.

Looking for an old school running shoe? You might be interested in the reissue of the Nike Vengeance Vintage trainers.

Dating back to 1985 (but actually looking even older), it's a lightweight running shoe with a mesh and textile upper, as well as what's described as 'unparalleled support', should you be considering hitting the road or track in a pair.

All of that is finished off with the Nike 'swish' and a blue and silver/grey colourway. If you want a pair, £59 is the price.

Cortez

A no-nonsense 1970s classic is back with a new finish – the Nike Cortez trainers.

Well, we say it's a new finish – it is and it isn't. The new material is a lightweight nylon upper, but the colour scheme is apparently an original college colourway. Specifically, that's white with a touch of red and blue, plus an oversized 'swoosh'.

Available online, a pair retails for £49.

1970s Nike Cortez trainers return in sky blue nylon

Nike

Nike is all too often overshadowed by other trainer labels on these pages (usually for good reason). But we do love the latest reissue of the classic Nike Cortez trainers.

A lightweight shoe that dates back to 1972 under the original name of the Tiger Corsair, it now gets a back to basics reissue in a light nylon finish and in a sky blue with white details. But there;s still room for the contrast jagged sole, round toe piece and trademark 'swoosh'.

Available on pre-order now, £50 is the price you'll need to pay.
