So, yesterday it was the Nike Pacific. Today it's the LD-1000 (women's), the other running sneaker I own with a contrasting/white tongue and gum sole. The men's LD-1000 doesn't have a gum sole, which is why I bought the women's version in a size 12 for my men's 10.5 feet.

The biggest point of contention with this sneaker for most people would probably be the insanely wide flared heel (last pic), which I hated at first, but I've come to love for its uniqueness and stability.
