NIKE WPRE MONTREAL RACER VNTG Size 24.0 New, with tags ■Comment... The Nike Pre Montreal, named after the legendary athlete Steve Roland Prefontaine (nicknamed "Pre"), was created in 1973 for his challenge at the Montreal Olympics. The original featured a spike-like design for competition, but the tooling was updated with a waffle sole. This retro running shoe is still appealing after all these years, with its timeless, standard silhouette.
