Vintage 1973 Nike Oregon Waffle Trainers

Whoah!!!!

The first waffle-soled Nike sneakers ever. From the back of a closet.

Vintage Nike Poster and St. Elmo's Fire.

Vintage Nike Poster (framed under glass) from a thrift shop in Miami.
Judd Nelson's apartment in St. Elmo's Fire, 1985.
There must be a way we can scan the poster and print it out to do the same thing.

I'm not sure what the story is behind the Nike photo, but I think it may be a still from a filmed commercial. I kind of remember it, and there was something about the pose of the guy in the white tank top mimicking a Roman sculpture, maybe. (If anybody knows...)

Being that I had to sit through St. Elmo's fire to get that still, I might as well post Emilio Estevez & Andrew McCarthy's Godardian apartment, which is a little more up our alley...

Old School Pre School

Prefontaine School.

Not to be left out of the shoe department, our son Fletcher has these tiny vintage Nike sneakers waiting for him as soon as he can run around, or walk- or really- fit schmit- I guess we could put them on him now. The red pair (marked 1982) is from a yard sale in Maine a few years ago (forward-thinking), and the blue pair (1983) was found by our friends on top of a garbage can in Brooklyn.

Laptop for scale/son reference.
