Hey guys, I was cleaning out my grandfather's closet today and I found these. They appear to be some sort of old Nike runner similar to the Cortez....funny thing is the right and left shoes have different outsoles and one is made in the Phillipines and the other in Korea. Other than that, they are nearly identical. Can anyone help me out with some info on these??

I worked in NIKE Footwear R&D for a while and I would be very surprised if those weren't some sort of sample or special make-up.

Try crookedtongues.com to identify the exact model.

^^ Those were Cortez's

What OP has looks like Air Waffles, without the waffle sole. Very interesting.
 
They are nike oceania's from 1982. The one with the "swoosh sole" is, at least. The other one looks like a waffle runner.



Some dude did a video on the oceanias.
