How excited am I for the return of Nike's vintage running shoes? I'm usually a diehard Puma loyalist come autumn weekends, but the classic Nikes just might outpace Pumas this season in my wardrobe. While I do think it's weird that the "new" Waffle Racers and Nylon Cortez runners are supposed to come out of the box looking worn ("It's vintage. Minus the 'wait thirty years' part,'" Nike's site brags), I find the 70s color palette fabulous. (Hello, orange and blue together!)

[I remember my dad wearing these exact shoes.]

You can grab these kitschy kicks locally at the Tannery in Harvard Square or downtown at Niketown.
