Nike is reissuing the signature shoe of the first athlete to ever sign a contract with the company (for a whopping $5,000 back in 1974), as well as the first track athlete to wear the brand’s shoes in competition. That person was Steve Prefontaine, and the sneaker is the Nike Pre Montreal Racer, featuring classic suede and nylon construction that deftly recalls its 1970s origins. The shoe is finished with Nike’s custom vintage treatment for a worn, distressed look, extending even to the historic waffle tread that’s made to appear as if it’s accrued some serious mileage. The Nike Pre Montreal is available now through France’s Rice & Beans, as well as Nikestore.com for stateside shoppers.
