yes, I had flashbacks at those pics of the LDV also 
didn’t much like the shoe at the time, they had the right idea with the wide sole, but screwed it up with the flare of the foam from the sole to the heelcup which made the whole thing unstable. I couldn’t afford more than one pair of shoes a year then, so ran in them anyway. Hokas now have the wide sole with the appropriate heelcups, a design which is now utterly dominant, most new running shoes look like Hokas.
Nike is old-fashioned, with actual products and income. The new hotness in the stockmarket is companies with airy fantasies and enormous debts which the fairy stories are supposed to pay for. Uber, Anthropic, any Musk-related venture, etc etc. Nike the company is doing what is supposed to be rewarded, unfortunately the markets have moved on from reality.
