1979 has returned thirty years later, in the form of the Nike Sportswear Challenger. The Nike Sportswear Challenge ND VNTG comes in two vintage colorways: varsity royal/black-sail and metallic silver/new magenta. Both shoes use a mix of suede, mesh, leather, and nylon, to truly give the shoe its ‘79 flavor, especially with the pre-yellowed midsoles and vintage style black outsoles. Classic white nylon tongues make the shoe even more authentic, and the thrashed Nike sign on the back heel panel just kills it. These are available for pre-order now for $80 each.
