Ultra-Rare Vintage 1982 Nike Cross Country / Track & Field Spikes
An incredible piece of Nike running history for collectors and sneaker archivists. Manufactured in November 1982 (Date Code: 821101), these vintage track spikes feature a striking aesthetic combining vibrant neon yellow/lime nylon uppers, rich green suede overlays, and a classic bright orange leather Swoosh.
True to its era's innovation, the design merges a multi-cleat metal spike plate on the forefoot for track traction with Nike’s iconic gum waffle sole material wrapping around the sides and arch of the foot.
