Great!

30 years after its launch as a running shoe, the Internationalist is back with a redefined purpose. Now more of a lifestyle shoe, this kick from Nike showcases its traditional suede, mesh, and nylon upper in a multitude of attractive colorways. Carrying a retro silhouette, the sneaker has updated comfort and durability, making the Internationalist more interesting and enduring than ever. It also comes at a reasonable asking price. Incredible!

The Nike Internationalist made its debut to the public in 1982 during the New York Marathon. The famous marathoner, and also one of the co-developers of the Internationalist,  Alberto Salazar sported his personalized Internationalist in that race. Fortunately, he bagged the gold medal in that momentous race.

That episode catapulted the fame of the Internationalist to the public and increased its market sales. In that same year, the first television commercial of Nike was also launched, which helped the Internationalist be recognized globally.

In 2014, almost 30 years after it was initially offered, Nike reintroduced the Internationalist. The new version still has the low-cut profile offered in various colorways.

The Internationalist's ankle-supportive sibling

The mid-cut version of the Internationalist was introduced in 2014 to commemorate its 30 years since the silhouette was unveiled to the market. This model kept all the classic details but was revamped with a higher collar height for better ankle support and style.
