Sock Racer?
They make me think of the first Olympic marathon champion Joan Benoit, back in 1984, she was one of the elite runners that shoe was made for. The yellow colorway had just two buckle clips to tighten the shoe and I believe it is the first Nike running shoe without laces. (I just thought of the Nike Journal that had straps instead of laces but I’m not sure if it was a casual shoe or a walker.) Sock Trainers follow the Racers, which was made in one version without laces until 1987 when they put laces on them for the last model which was called Air Sock. The Air Sock is more like the Air Flow and Air Current.
